Re: What exactly are halos?

Halos likely appear when exeeding with sharpening. Left is the original image, right is with 2 times unsharp mask, amount 100 % and radius 10: Halo-Demo.JPG I made it extreme in this example of course, to show the effect, depending on the background, i.e. a clear blue sky, a much smaller effect is v...

Re: How far in Raw post processing do you go?

I work mostly like Keith described above. Adjusting in RAW for a acceptable looking inage and do the fine tweaking in post processing. Sharpening always as the last step on the final image, depending on the usage (printing or for monitor display). I normally keep the RAW and the processes 48 bit TIF...

Re: Cannot close a window

I would prefer a option to disable the history function too. Allowing to save the mask and just refer to its filename instead could eb a option to save memory space and making the wfl files smaller, but with the risk if someone edits the mask the whole workflow will be unuseable. I personally would ...

Re: jpeg default quality for saving

I am not sure if i would like the idea of having a additional window to click away when saving. I usually hava a look at the result window to see that the file size is in the range i expected. Maybe it would be a solution to use shift click with Save and Save As as it used for Transformations to res...

Re: 5.0.1.4 Text Transform - ellipsis

I can reproduce the fact that in PWP5 a row of points (.) is ignored.
A even number of dots (2, 4 ... ) produces no dot at all and a odd number (1,3 ,5 .. ) produces one dot.
This happens not only at the end but also in the middle of words.

Re: Organizing processed pictures

Thank you, Frank, your link sounds interesting.
I will give this method it a try.
Like you, i also like the idea of not depending to a catalogue software.
As an amateur, i do not have several 100 000s of pictures to manage with the aid of a professional software.

Thanks again

Organizing processed pictures

Hello I have found the best way for my needs to store my original pictures, but i still search for the best way to organize the processed images, mostly with respect to the proportions. My camera files have either 3:4 from my "little" bridge or 2:3 from my DSLR. My most used print out form...
