Digital Light & Color

Hello. Been away for a while, so trying PW again.
1) menu | transform. If no image is open, then only the 'Test Patterns' item should be available. See the edit menu where all items are not available.
2) Open image, then menu | transform | stack images. [Cancel] button. This closes PW.
3) please put back tools | red eye removal. Some of us take pics of kids & grandkids on off days. Thanks!

4) color image; menu | transform | gray | adjust
I assume this replaces the old, reliable 'Levels & Color.' I liked the old, easy to user 'Levels & Color!'
a) Help file | Probes says "clicking on the input image creates a new control point."; should say shift clicking ... Took me a while to figure this out.
b) Curve tab. Help files says "Curve -- ...for color images you can adjust the color curves." To be more useful, please add RGB color space to the selection, same as color curves. I find that one of the first things I do to most images is expand the individual RGB channels as needed.
c) Sharpness tab. This has default settings, ie Sharpness Threshold = 7.84% (where does this number come from??). Does this mean that if the sharpness button is 'on' (the default), then these settings will be applied to the image? Perhaps add to Operation = NONE, to the selection? Or default to button to off? Else users of this dialog will be sharpening without notice. If I adjust the color space, only, and click 'OK' then the image is sharpened.
d) This "collection of powerful image adjustments" applies to both color and b&w images. Most users will be adjusting color images, so this is well hidden on the Gray menu. Suggest this should move up a level on the menu, so it is easier to find. Or, put it under both the color and gray menu levels.
5) Preferences. Suggest a user preference to control the default behavior of the histograms as expanded or normal.
Thank you,
Bob

1) While some of the menu items could be grayed out, actually more than just Test Patterns cannot. Point taken, however.

2) Will check this out.

4a) Adjust - fixed help file re probes

4c) Sharpness does nothing unless you increase the Sharpen Factor beyond 1.0

4d) As with PWP 7, Gray refers to transformations that work on gray or color images while Color refers to transformations that only work on color images. You might want to check out the new Quick Pick feature (see the Help file under General Tips) as an alternate way to select transformations. Not everyone's preference, but if you like keyboard shortcuts you may find it helpful.

Other suggestions noted, thanks
