Digital Light & Color

I was experimenting with the Detail tool again, and one reoccurring issue was this: if the source area is smaller than my target (i.e. I want to transplant details from relatively small available source area over and over again over a larger target area), how do I 'decouple' the brushes? Can be done...

I was saving a few versions of the same image to a custom folder using Export command. Not sure if this how it is supposed to work, but I had to navigate to the custom folder each time I invoked the command. I was thinking that maybe remembering the folder within a session could be better, if possib...

Would it be possible to allow the measure line in angle-restricted snap mode to be dragged as a whole. Presently only the endpoints can be moved, and sometimes they don't snap easily where I want them. Another comment: if I zoom in an image and then activate the Measure Tool, the line is produced in...

There is also the Compare transformation that lets you compare and toggle two images and choose which one to output.

. I can't click on it and I never see it offered as a mask.

Don't know if this is the case, but most often I don't see masks because the mask pixel dimensions are not identical to image pixel dimensions.

Would it make sense to make the 2:1 button a toggle instead of momentary? I often want to see the enlarged preview as I adjust settings - it works, but I need to keep changing the zoom often. p.s. I think I discovered a way to keep the 2:1 depressed - not sure if intended but it works: press the 2:1...

Not sure if this will suffice, but if you Save Settings with a custom ratio, you could reload it later and the ratio under Custom will be preserved. You can save several settings, each with different custom ratio.

The Export already has sharpening options, which may be all you need. For even more control, one can turn off the Export's sharpen and sharpen it 'manually' as a step beforehand. At each resolution there is probably a visual benefit if it is slightly sharpened before saving, trying not to overdo it.

I think that screens today are mostly full HD (1920×1080 px) or lower. It may make sense to downsample images to this or lower pixel dimensions (and possibly sharpen them at this size in the end) for online publishing. p.s. There is a, usually subtle, decision to make if you produce two outputs of d...

It looks like the copied-and-pasted images don't save with the workspace script with images. Is that how it should work, and if it does, what can I do to save the whole workspace, including the pasted images?
