Here is a recipe to crash PWP - could others try it? 1) Make a workflow consisting of RAW and, e.g., Sharpen widget and dump 2-3 RAW files into Workflow window 2) In Workflow Window, choose 'Selected Images' and select one RAW 3) Adjust RAW and Sharpen widget using this image 4) Select another image...

Kiril, the crash happened with any CR2 without sidecar. Since I didn't know what else to do to fix it, I've unistalled all prior PWP installations, rebooted the computer, and the problem went away...

PWP5.0.1.5 crashes during loading .CR2 RAW files, at Converting to RGB step. Can this be reproduced?

It is possible to delete a widget from from the Workflow window when its dialog is opened (despite the warning message). Clicking OK in the open control dialog (which has no corresponding widget anymore) will crash PWP.

Make a workflow with two Sharpen widgets: e.g. first using Sharpen, second using Bilateral sharpen. Set the parameters in both. Go back to the first sharpen widget, change method to Heavy Sharpen and readjust. Go to the second sharpen widget again: the small size dialog box of the Heavy Sharpen is u...

I'm sure most RAW reculculation triggers in RAW dialog have solid programming reasons beyond my comprehension, but there is a few ideas that may make using dialog a little easier: 1) Auto Preview checkbox (like in most other transformations). For example, often a few options need to me adjusted simu...

Masks seem to be saved as uncompressed TIFFs when embedded in workflows. That makes workflow files considerably fatter (e.g. a 10Mp masks adds some 10Mb the workflow). Since masks are 8bit and usually contain large solid areas, they compress well and the saving speed penalty is small. Would it make ...

The 'Launch the Program' checkbox at the end of installation sequence doesn't seem to start PWP.

Thanks Kiril, I guess what I was hoping for is to to be able apply a specific workflow (actually RAW settings only) to a RAW file, but open it in a RAW dialog, rather then bypassing it. RAW already has a configureable camera settings and default RAW settings, but this way one could save and reapply ...

As it is now, the Mean Image is calculated for all pixels, regardless of what's visible in preview. During beta testing, I recall Jonathan mentioning that it may be possible in the future to calculate mean image for the preview only, do adjustments, and leave the final calculations till the end. I b...
