Text and Unicode characters

I need to annotate a calendar. The text uses some Eastern-european characters - I do have the text in Unicode text file - the characters show fine in Notepad or Word. When I try to cut and paste them to Text transformation, the special characters display as garbage, regardless of the Character Set c...

Re: Restoring Clipped Channels

How does Remap transformation treat input colour with a channel maxed out?

Restoring Clipped Channels

Here is an interesting PS plugin: http://www.vicanek.de/plugins/huerestorer.htm Did people try it or something similar? How does it perform? While I can think of replicating it in PWP, it wouldn't be easy (masking areas blown in one channel + isolating the clipped channel + replacing the the blown a...

Re: Exif info deleted in workflow

Incidentally, the next release of PWP does add Jpeg options to the Save File widget.

Please consider 'skip existing file' option...

Histogram feature suggestion

I've seen a lot of histograms lately and I was thinking what would make the histograms work even better: 1) PWP is not bad in this department, but it's often v. difficult to detect and interpret the fully blown pixel column on the histogram because it's a thin line (1px wide) and it's hard to see an...

Re: Exif info deleted in workflow

Could you try this recipe to remove EXIF from a file by Save widget: 1) Open PWP, open any file; in Save As, uncheck 'Include Comments' box, then save this file; close PWP. 2) Open PWP again, open Workflow window, drag any file with EXIF into it, process with Save Widget. Whether or not the Save wid...

Re: Exif info deleted in workflow

Bob, I checked it again, and it seems to me that changing Save As EXIF/ICC save settings withing PWP session has no effect on whether the EXIF/ICC is saved by the Save widget. Turning PWP off and on somehow helps Save widget memorize the settings at the last shut down. I do agree that not having exp...

Re: Exif info deleted in workflow

We've tested this in the past, and if I recall correctly, if you check the checkboxes: Include Profile, Include Comments in Save As dialog, close the PWP and reopen it, these settings will be applied by the Save Widgets in the workflow. Conversely, if you uncheck the boxes in Save As, close the PWP,...

Re: UniWB - Practical Use?

Here is an 'un-opinionated' article on clipping, histograms and exposure to the right. It's all good, but how do I come to terms with in-camera histograms when shooting RAW?

Re: UniWB - Practical Use?

Would 'No WB' setting be equivalent to have RGB channel multipliers set to 1? I compared the 'No WB' with 'Camera WB' when the camera used UniWB settings and the two seem identical. Point taken about unknown processing and unequivalency of histograms. But how then do I realize a simple idea: I would...
