When using the Mask Flood-Fill tool, invalid mouse-clicks (for the given state) causes Undo problem. For example, if the initial mouse-click for the Flood-Fill tool is a Ctrl-Shift-Click nothing appears to happen. The Help File says that a Ctrl-Shift-Click “applies the current flood fill and starts ...

Newly Created Image Files (Test Patterns, Pasted Screenshots, etc.) Forced to Use “ V1” at End of Filename When attempting to save an image file (using Save As) with no inherited path or name characteristics (such as Test Patterns or Pasted Screenshots), PWP 8.0.457 exhibits 2 issues.

Something that I've noticed going back and forth between PWP revs to troubleshoot problems is that upon loading an install of PWP the Alt_menu_acceleration_disabler remains unloaded until a re-boot. Since the final step of an install is a dialog box prompting the user to run PWP (with that selection...

My bad. I botched steps 7,8, and 9. Here are the corrected steps: 7. Select another individual Flood-Fill spot with a Ctrl- Shift-Click near the yellow vertex 8. Prepare to create a Flood-Fill region by Ctrl- Shift-Clicking near the magenta vertex 9. Complete the Flood-Fill region (began in Step 8) ...

There is additional logic needed to def...

Flood-Fill Mask changes when Mask Transformation is Re-Entered NOTE: In reading the Help, it seems that I am probably missing something here, however IMO the mask that exists upon exiting the mask transformation should not change upon re-entering it. I guess what I’m not clear on is how to set multi...

After playing around, I was able to reproduce the problem in a much simpler workspace. My hunch is that is has to do with unexpected combinations of shift, control, mouse-click and mouse movement.

Attached is the simpler crashing workspace.

Attached is a workspace file that crashes 8.0.453. I was trying out the Flood-Fill features and noticed that the mask had encroached a bit on my subject. When I tried to use Undo to roll back to the point where the unwanted masking occurred the Undo wouldn't work. I saved the workspace and tried to ...

I would consider the following. Use a tripod. Set camera to manual mode. Set ISO to 100 (for best quality). Set the aperture to a value that you will keep consistent throughout the shoot. Vary the shutter speed based on exposure needs which I'd recommend setting using a gray-card in the subject ligh...
