Re: Level Tool

If you only have a short segment to level there is no advantage to using a line that extends beyond the segment -- just put the endpoints on the end of the bridge and zoom way in to position the level line as accurately as you can.

Re: Level Tool

A feature to deal with this was added relatively recently. First place the line endpoints crudely with the entire image visible and then zoom in to 1:1 or higher. If you press "1" or "2" on the keyboard, PWP will recenter the image on either the first or second endpoint and you c...

Re: Can't copy a mask

Re: Quirk with Print Dialog When Using "Show Image Browser in Separate Window"

It may have something to do with the version of Windows you are using -- I see an icon on Windows 11. Microsoft has been changing the way the print dialog box works recently.

Re: Quirk with Print Dialog When Using "Show Image Browser in Separate Window"

The Windows Print dialog box does get covered up if you click on the image browser, but you can get it back by clicking its icon on the task bar. For the next release I removed the ability to close Print or Export thumbnails in the image browser that are temporarily created when you execute a Print ...

Re: problem : PWP crashed while using the lines, arrows, text tool

There is an extensive section near the end of the help for the transformation that describes how to edit lines and text, called Editing lines and control points . When you shift-click to create a new line segment, it is created with a copy of the settings from the previous segment, including the tex...
