Thanks for the tip on checking the preview. It does work; in fact, it does previews for 32-bit floating point, too, so the codec appears to know how to handle them at least. I guess I'll end up bouncing back and forth between PWP and GIMP; I just discovered that GIMP will read them and process them,...

Most of the images I work on are astronomical. My pre-processing software, used for calibration, natively creates 32-bit floating point TIFF, though it can also write 16- or 32-bit integer TIFF. I have no idea if 32-bit integer TIFF is even possible for the Windows codec, but it would be nice, even ...

This is a feature that went away with PWP8, I'm wondering if there is any plan to add raw support to PWP8. If not, are there a set of "favorite" tools people use to convert raw to TIFF? Well, I still have PWP7 on my computer, so that's what I'm using now....

Thanks!

I'm sort of finding the same confusion: Open an image, make an 8-bit black and white version with High Contrast On the original image open Levels and Color and open the mask list - newly created black and white image does not appear on list: If I create B&W image, then open a branch from the or...

I think I know what's tripping me up, but I don't see how to get around it. How do I create that black-and white image? With PWP7, it was easy. With PWP8, I've converted a 48-bit color image to monochrome, I'm ending up with an image that, if I save it to disk and reread it in, PWP8 says is 16-bit. ...

3) Then click the white square at the right side of its Amount control to bring up a menu -- the name of the mask image should appear at the bottom of the menu for you to select. Once you select it, it becomes the initial mask for the transformation, although you can apply additional masking tools ...

In PWP7, this was easy, but I can't figure out the magic to make it work in PWP8. The documentation says that any B&W image can be a mask. In my case, I'm tying to pick out a small rang of luminosity in the image for some color correction. So the mask I want to create is based on the image itsel...
