Re: Help with CUDA

A bit late with this info, but on my Dell XPS 15 (2017 model, UHD screen, Nvidia GTX1050 GPU + Intel 630), the default Nvidia drivers provided by Dell were a couple of versions older than the current generic notebook drivers available from Nvidia and they did not work: my screen dimensions on the &q...

Re: Overlapping image and transform windows

An ergonomic solution to this is being able specify that a given tool window is automatically docked at the side of the main program window (perhaps splitting an already docked window, e.g. a file chooser), or is displayed as a non-modal tool window floated above or beside it (perhaps even dragged t...

Re: Who is still out there?

For those who use the Firefox web browser, there's a very useful extension called Update Scanner . It essentially stores the textual content of a web page and checks once a day (or shorter/longer intervals' whenever you have the browser open) if more than a specified number of characters has changed...

If you are using Windows 10 Re: EXIF/ IPTC removal

If you use the Windows 10 File Explorer, the Details tab of the Properties dialog has a link at the bottem Remove Properties and Personal Information which opens another dialog that allows total or selective removal of metadata items, see attached screenshot.

Map URL macros

Is %LatLong% the only macro available for GPS coordinates embedded in an image? Sometimes I like to use OpenStreetMap.org online maps; the GPS coordinates search URL for their maps is something like this (quote from their user support website): http://osm.org/#map='zoomlevel'/'latitude'/'longitude' ...

Keyword separator character?

What is the character that separates multiple keywords in the image information dialog? A space, comma, or semi-colon? Are multiple words allowed in one "keyword"?

Re: HDR using fusion?

Hugin , the open source panorama software, apparently automatically determines if a set of input images is an exposure stack for a single or panorama image and can produce HDR type output via enfuse, I think. I've only ever used it for its panorama functions (which are excellent). The 2016 version ...

Re: JPEG and PNG questions

Thanks for reminding me about the image comparison feature of PWP, I really should have done that experiment before posting my question. As you suggested, the practical effects of re compression may be less than need to be concerned about, especially if done only a couple of times in succession. (It...

Re: JPEG and PNG questions

Thanks for your answers! I was a little leery of posing my question about the effects of JPEG uncompression/recompression, since degradation is the conventional answer I already know. But I was forgetting why that's the case: the JPEG compression process is not the inverse of JPEG uncompression proc...
