Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.138

This fix for the Levels and Color Tool works well - tried the same sort of sequence of operations, and memory usage did not increase past 357MB. Painting seems smoother for sure.

Interesting addition for Distort.

Thank you (once again) for your enthusiastic support!

Re: Levels and Color Tool - very slow after 8.0.137 install

I ran through the other Tool transformations and didn't see anything similar in terms of memory usage. Levels and Color Tool was the only one that used up over 2 GB, and got as high as 6GB before I stopped. So I can forge ahead sticking with the standard Levels and Color transformation, and maybe re...

Re: Levels and Color Tool - very slow after 8.0.137 install

So pretty much the same memory usage as previously described. As you say, probably due to the necessary undo copies. Only I didn't think switching the overlay transparency would need to be remembered... Only this time, when memory went past 2400MB, the transformation window disappeared from view. At...

Levels and Color Tool - very slow after 8.0.137 install

Hi, Have experienced a significant slowness when using Levels and Color Tool after installing 8.0.137. I compared the same operations on the same image on 8.0.134, and with the new version. Painting the mask, and also switching between XX% mask overlay and transparent mask overlay all exhibit degrad...

Wow, thank you for "snippets"... I was waiting for this but didn't know it (are you reading our minds?).

Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.129

Oh. cool. Thanks that saved a few minutes. Looks good and functions well. I can see this coming in handy from time to time.

(Update) Seems like there is now some extra line space under the toolbar, or am I forgetting how it looked before?

Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.129

... looks like the horizontal and vertical button bmp files didn't make it in the download. Errors encountered when opening PWP.

Re: A couple questions

Hi Doug, In my experience... 1) yes, ver 7 stays intact as a standalone application. 2) as far as I know you can wait and download/install the latest version without requiring all of the intermediate versions. It just installs the same way as the first time. Remember you can download the .exe in a z...

Re: New mask and Flood Fill

(Don't you ever sleep?) Excellent, thank you. I am really warming up to the changes in the mask tools. It's funny, I was showing a friend how to accomplish something in PWP 7 the other day, and I spent all the time coercing them to download PWP 8... I remembered how I thought I*'d be happy with ver ...
