Basic raw developing question

I used to develop my Canon G16 raw images in PWPv8 before doing anything anything else. Then by accident I found that applying Color Curves to the raw image produced a tiff, very much like the tiff produced by the raw develop transformation. Does Color Curves simply apply Raw Dev. before applying th...

Re: PWP won't start

Odd that you didn't get the email. It's in my Sent folder, and I haven't had a bounce-back. Anyway, I opened the file in MS Notepad, and got no text; I opened it in another text editor and it produced what looks to an ignoramus like a hex display of zeros. I then looked at the file size: 365 bytes. ...

Re: PWP won't start

Oh, I now see that when I attach the file there's a warning triangle. I'll use email.

Re: PWP won't start

That did the trick, thank you. Old favs attached, with a fake extension to get it attached.

I used PWP7 in the last day or two - amazingly clunky to use compared with PWP8, which is so well thought-out! Thank you again, Jonathan,
best wishes,
David

Re: PWP won't start

OK, I put the debug executable into the application folder and ran it, getting a string of dialogs.

The last one was: loading favourites. Then it stopped.

Re: PWP won't start

Thanks for your reply. The first two suggestions didn't work. I don't knowingly use color profiles, and haven't installed new printers lately. I had trouble attaching the session.state, even after I renamed it as a .txt file - error message attached. So I'm copying the text of session.state below. b...

PWP won't start

PWP has been working very well, up to today. Now it refuses to start. A rotating blue circle appears when I double-click the .exe file, then it stops after a second or two. I don't see anything that's obviously PWP-related in the Task Manager process list. Rebooted PC (Win 10 64-bit), doesn't help. ...

Re: transformation dialogs vanishing

Now I see what's going on. It happens when I have clicked on the image or the image background, so that the dialog is not selected and its title bar goes white. See attachment. Then clicking on a part of the title bar which is over an image in the image browser makes the dialog vanish. Clicking anyw...

Re: transformation dialogs vanishing

Thanks for the suggestion, Jonathan. I'll bear it in mind, and if the problem happens again, will try to reproduce it and take a screenshot just before clicking.
