Re: Positioning branches in the browser window

I'll send a script if needed. Before I do, try clicking on a transformation that does not use a mask. When you select a transformation using a mask, the branch is properly positioned in the browser window. When you select a transformation not using a mask, I find the positioning to be incorrect.

Re: Scratch removal crashes PWP

I, myself, have also encountered such behavior for the past few years. Because I've never been able to make the behavior reproducible, I've not reported it. About all I can say is that the crashing occurs more often at the end of a long editing session or after PWP has been open for quite a few days...

Positioning branches in the browser window

It would be more convenient for me if when I select a thumbnail in the image browser, the browser would automatically scroll so that I could always see branch of the selected image AND the masks associated with that branch. Currently this does not happen when there are a large number of branches and...

Re: Trouble Cloning With Mask

Thank you for your help. The shift-click was necessary to be able to select the cloning point and see the cloning circle. This didn't occur to me. Is there any way to eliminate this need, or to trigger the appearance of a hint (like displaying a window saying to shift click if I've fruitlessly click...

Re: Trouble Cloning With Mask

Your protocol works fine if the mask is created from within the Clone Transformation. For me, a similar series of steps, but attempting to use a preexisting mask does not work.

Trouble Cloning With Mask

It seems like I should be able to create a mask for an image, then choose the clone transformation, then select the mask to control the amount of cloning, and then proceed to select the source point in the image (cloning from and to the same image) and the target point. However, I am not able to sel...

Speeding Precise Gaussian Blur

I like the backgrounds of my flower images to be highly blurred. Precise Gaussian is fine for this except that it runs very slowly. The following seems to be an effective blurring procedure that, for my images, is about five times faster than Precise Gaussian. Feather a mask of the flower with a rad...

Re: Combining Masks

It would be nice if the software could be engineered so that the process were straightworward and the necessary menu necessary choices were obvious.

Re: Combining Masks

After some playing around, I have learned one way of combining two masks. What I did not appreciate is that the two masks to be combined using the output of the Mask transformation must be mask 1 and mask 2 in that Masks transformation. I also did not appreciate the fact that the B&W image produ...
