PWP 8 Early Alpha Release Available for Download

[jsachs]

It's been a long road -- I hope it was worth it.

The download page is:

http://www.dl-c.com/PWP_Download.html

Please read the release notes first.

While much of this early release is working, parts may be buggy, so please don’t use this version for serious work. Although I will try to maintain compatibility, it is not guaranteed at this point that scripts you create will work with newer versions, so it is probably best to use this feature sparingly for now.

Currently there is only a 64-bit Windows version – if there is enough demand for a 32-bit version I will consider trying to put one together later.

Reporting Bugs and Feature Requests

The more specific you can be regarding bugs, the easier they will be to fix. If possible, please include the exact sequence of operations that fails. I will be fixing bugs and releasing updates every few days, so check the downloads page frequently. Please report bugs or feature requests in the PWP 8 Beta section of the message board or directly to me at jsachs@dl-c.com.

Documentation

For now, the only documentation is the help file which should describe everything. The Getting Started topic in the help file is a good place to start, and it points to other general topics you may want to browse before jumping in with both feet. I hope to create some video tutorials when the program is a little more stable.

The attempt to download the Mezzotint... files results in a http404 message

----
Not Found

The requested URL /Picture Window Pro Mezzotint Textures.msi was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
----
probably a typo somewhere

So far, so good... Ran through a number of transformations, opening and closing a few images, and all seemed fine, until I tried to "File - Close all images", and it hung, with a "Not Responding" error. I'll try to replicate, but I'm sure subsequent versions will take care of it...

Otherwise, I'm curious as to the removal of the "Gray - Levels and Color" transformation. Has it been renamed, or is it gone for good?

Congratulations on the Alpha Release!
