Gradient with Curve bug

Post by jfoster »

When selecting the curve option under gradient, the left control handle is inaccessible. See screen shot.
(A similar problems exists in PWP 7 when resetting the Curve Gradient, so be sure to double-check the reset behavior when addressing this.)

The control handle is now accessible in the 052819 release, however only the Fill operation of the Gradient Transformation is working using the Curve. The Filter, Subtractive Filter, and Adjust Brightness ops don't seem to do anything.

I am out of town for a few days -- it looks to me like it is working -- can you post an example?

Hmmm. Ok, I tried it with a jpg. Works ok there. Seems to be a problem with 48bit tifs. Hope that helps.

As far as I found out, it is a problem with
- curve and
- 16bit gradient

I guess for 48bit tif the gradient will be 16bit. Therefor the problem shows up here.

So, as a workaround I converted the 48 bit image to 24 bit in order to add a bit of a vignette with the oval gradient transformation. In doing so, I found a couple more problems. The top control handle on the oval gradient doesn't seem to work. See yellow arrow in screenshot:

Also, when I went back to "edit" this transformation (to make the screenshot) I found that the gradient curve UI is not displaying properly. See green arrow in screenshot.
