Re: Sharpening with precise Gaussian blur

For the next release, I added an Increase Difference operation to the Blend and Composite transformations. If the overlay image is a blurred version of the input image, the output image will be a sharpened version of the input image, so you can use this to sharpen using Precise Gaussian. However, th...

Re: Sharpening with precise Gaussian blur

While there is no sharpening transformation that uses Precise Gaussian, Multipass Sharpening uses an edge-preserving blur algorithm that works well in most situations without having to create a mask.

If you want to both upscale and sharpen, you might want to take a look at Topaz Photo AI.

When the entire image is visible and you zoom in, it zooms in on the center.

If only part of the image is visible and you zoom in, it tries to maintain the position of the scroll bars.

Re: Odd oval gradient mask movement

Re: script files generated during batch processing - unexpected outcome

OK, I see the problem -- I did not anticipate that anyone would export with save scripts selected.

For the next release, exported script files will still include File Open Multiple, but the correct file will be selected from the list so the exported script will regenerate the exported image.
