Re: Equalize - cancelled calculation and over-zoomed image

I fixed this for the next release (by simply removing the progress bar since it runs fairly quickly on today's computers).

Re: Mask and operation time issue

As with PWP 7, the mask must be exactly the same size as the image, so if the two images have different sizes, the mask will not show up in the list. Also, the Masks transformation must be upstream from the image you are trying to apply it to (i.e. it must not depend of the image you are trying to a...

Re: Probes interact for multiple dialogs in display & Misc

The hand-grab feature is already there, although it seems not to be work correctly right now. As someone else recently requested, hold down the Alt key while dragging at it will revert to scroll mode, regardless of which window or control owns the probe. Will work on letting the readout tool access ...

Re: Seeking suggestions on best workflow

My suggestion requires manual intervention on each image. 1) Convert the original to 8-bit black and white, save a copy, and then carefully clone all the birds and their trails out of the image by copying adjacent sky over them. 2) Invert both images (Transformation/Gray/Invert). This should leave y...

Re: Probes interact for multiple dialogs in display & Misc

3) The readout tool was not designed to retain its settings between sessions. I fixed the problem where you could probe outside the main image area, and added a Display 0..255 option to the Settings menu for the next release. 10) The scroll/readout/magnifier/histogram modes are mutually exclusive by...

Re: Mask and operation time issue

This is why I probably need to do a few video tutorials -- there are a number of hidden features that can make life a lot easier.

Bug fix release 4-Apr-2018

I have posted a new release (4-Apr-2018) in both full version and executable-only. The only reason to download the full version is to get the latest version of the help file which mostly has some cosmetic edits and information on File Back and File Save As. The changes (taken from the update log) ar...

Re: Mask and operation time issue

You can make up to four masks without a transformation using Transformation/Masks. The resulting masks can then be selected from the Amount control when you need them. PWP8 is definitely more of a memory hog, but the performance should be roughly the same as PWP7 although at this point I have not sp...
