Calendar Background color problem

Post by rpm »

Kiril,
The background color selected for the background rectangle in the Calendar transform appears to only paint the area behind the text in the applied image. The remaining part of the background rectangle is painted in what appears to be the complement of the selected background color. The preview image displays correctly, giving you no clue that there is a problem until you apply the transform. Please see the attached zip, which contains a jpg screenshot of the transform settings, original image, preview, and applied image.

These same settings worked perfectly in PWP 5.0.

This is from the 64 bit version of PWP 6.0, running on Windows 7, 64 bit.

Thanks,
Ron

In my test the transformation works correctly.

Can you try the same process with no holidays. To remove holidays, click the Set Holidays button. Uncheck the days of the week. Then select all holidays in the list and click Delete Entries. When prompted to save changes, make sure to click No to avoid making a permanent change.

Thank you,

Kiril

I removed the holidays and day of week settings and the results are the same. See attached jpg.

Performed some more testing:
1. Saved image as uncompressed 48-bit TIFF.
2. Ran transform and produced same results as with converted raw.
3. Convert 48-bit image to 24-bit.
4. Ran transform and the results were correct.

1. Saved image as 100% jpg.
2. Ran transform and the results were correct.

Maybe a 16-bit vs 8-bit problem?

Yes, it does liik like a 48 bit problem. Thank you for your report. I will add it to the bug list.
