Readout Tool

I, fairly routinely, do up a few different Colour Balance versions of an image, and often use a mask to blend one with another, limiting the change(s) to certain areas (eg, use a bit bluer balance in the shadows). And I will make a couple of those Composites, with varying strengths of, as in this ex...

Feature Suggestion

- First off, thanks for adding the thumbs to the Mask drop down, I find it very useful. - The last set of operations, subject of my previous post, highlighted an issue, for me anyway, so may not be popular to others, or the suggestion not even possible, for that matter. I have found, and continue to...

Transformations, mask dialogue.

Am in the process of doing multiple Composites and Drop Shadows. In preparation, I previously generated a bunch of masks and saved them as images. To start, I opened a few, non-mask, images as well as a half dozen mask images. The whole operation requires over a dozen, pre-made, masks but as I find ...

Absolute Difference/Levels and Color

Perhaps I am not understanding Levels and Color. I made a minor change to an image (48 bit comprised of only shades of grey). To better see the change, I Composited the new image with the old, using Absolute Difference. The result was an all black (appearing) image with a tiny spot which was very li...

Unnecessary Warning?

I had multiple images open, including a number of pre-made masks (made days earlier). And I had done a vertical column of transformations below one image. The transformations included mostly Drop Shadow, with a few Composites as well. At one point, as I was clogging up the workspace with too many im...

Re: Masks

Thanks for the reply. I may be a bit confused here. For the Masks Tool (not the mask tool that can be generated when Compositing images together), I don't "see the effect on the output image immediately" because there is nothing (unless I am really confused) to see as it is just a single i...

Masks

First, want to say the mask/brush behavior as instituted in the latest version is much better. But a question regarding the Masks Tool - Is there a reason, that I may be missing, for the default setup for building a mask (single image, no compositing etc), to be the side by side format, and not just...

Re: Mask and Paint Brush Cursor

Jonathan, Thanks for the explanation. Funny enough, last night I happened to be using a paint tool in another program and, due to the background, repeatedly encountered the "disappearing" circle. However, the program had the ability to briefly press the space bar to temporarily change the ...

Re: Mask and Paint Brush Cursor

Latest Version. Not sure if this issue was fully addressed. Paint - Cursor starts as a round circle (size of brush) with a "+" crosshair, and angled arrow. When clicked, the arrow disappears, but returns when the click is lifted. The circle and "+" work fine. Why is arrow necessa...
