Grid Transformation mysteries

I'm trying to draw a grid on an 8x8 cm @ 300 dpi square (945x945 pixels). The attached image shows a grid that I'm almost happy with, except for two things: I would like to remove edges and also remove the vertical and horizontal middle lines (i.e. leaving only minor divisions). Checking Omit Edges,...

Re: Ruler transformation issues

I think this time I'm really done designing the target :-) I'm so proud of it that I decided to share it again (last time). It shows the PWP capabilities of designing such things, that I was not fully aware of - and it's a good practice in optimizing the workflow (there are enough elements and opera...

Omitting a Branch from recalculations

When making a shooting target, the workspace is fairly long and complicated, and thus slow updating on my old laptop. I can temporarily turn off individual transformations in the branches, starting from the bottom for efficiency, but then I need to turn them all again one by one (this time starting ...

Re: Ruler transformation issues

Here is a non-photographic question and not related to the Ruler - but interesting target-wise. There are shooting targets called splash targets which make the hits easier to see as their rims appear in different, bright, colour. This is done by laminating the front sheet, made of a thin 'brittle' m...

Typo in Layout?

I think the second one should be 'upper right' corner?

Re: Ruler transformation issues

Just wanted to show what I was after - an easy-to-see and evaluate metric practice/zeroing target for a .22 rifle with an x-reticle - a work in progress... I was trying to design the simplest Workspace (attached) to assemble all the elements and adjust them without having to redo the whole thing. Th...

Re: Drawing empty circles

The only other thing I can think of also has to do with masks: make a circular mask, feather it in slightly in step/round mode, and then XOR the two and use it in Composite with solid colours...

Drawing empty circles

Would anybody know a more graceful method of drawing an outline of a circle other than creating two circular masks with slightly different diameter, centering them, and Compositing solid colors until the circle is left?

Re: Ruler transformation issues

I think I figured out some of the labeling - seems mostly that the Ruler Width controls if the labels appear and in what size. There is the Transparency slider but it controls the transparency of the whole ruler, scale included. I was trying to overlay two labeled 10 cm ruler scales at 45 deg to eac...
