Re: problem : Batch processing unstoppable

The video you sent was for a different workspace and does not show what happened between when you initiated the batch process and when you encountered the grayed-out button. Looking at the code, the only way the button gets grayed out should be if you click it. The workspace runs OK here when I repl...

Re: Problem : Text transform, text data entry of + or - sign

+, - and * are keyboard accelerators, but only when entered using the numeric keypad. There is no easy way to override keyboard accelerators in different situations. The only option would be to remove +, - and * as shortcuts for zooming. Personally, I never use them so I could go either way.

Re: Feature request : Speck removal for landscape / portrait batch processing orientations

It turn out a rotation feature is already implemented (see the two buttons at the far right of the tool bar at the top of the transformation dialog box. This rotates the coordinates of all the specks 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise.

Re: Feature request : Speck removal for landscape / portrait batch processing orientations

This assumes images are always rotated in the same direction. It would probably require user intervention to tell PWP which way to rotate.

You can download a demo version if you want to try it out on one of your own images. For images I am serious about, assuming I want them really sharp, I run the original file th...

Re: Crash Recovery

Ctrl-Alt only works at the transition between recalculating one transformation and the next, so if one of them is taking a long time you may have to hold the keys down for a while. You can monitor the progress during the loading of a script by observing the highlighted caption bar of the transformat...
