PWP50 seems to expose some of the options discussed there, so it's...

MaciejT.... (1) Never really did consider the differences. AHD and VNG interpolation conversion images just provided differing starting points for specific image area sharpening [and occasionally specific image area noise reduction] and other post-processing techniques. Did not ascertain generic rel...

For me in general, AHD interpolation seems to provide the best, all around results. The only time I resort to VNG is when I have exceeded a len's diffraction limits during a 'capture'. In this case, I will do two RAW conversions, one with AHD and the other with VNG... ...and use the conversion that ...

PWP5's workflow 'Text' widget seems to do most of what you describe without the use of a mask, i.e., ...scale and locate semi-transparent texts with or without drop shadows surrounded by semi-transparent contrasting background text boxes for differing image overall pixel dimensions and orientations ...

Does anyone know an easy way to use the freehand tool in a zoomed in view to draw intricate mask edges while keeping the workflow fairly smooth?? Try using Mask Tool - Polygon selection. Drag the initial four corners to surround the element edges to be masked... then use multiple 'shift-left mouse ...
