PWP 7.0.7-32 -- Defringe - stops working
Posted: April 5th, 2013, 9:46 am
I have experienced three intermittent instances where after extended usage of the Defringe transform with Auto Preview checked and a 3456x2304, 48-bit color image that the transform stops working... ...the Preview does not update regardless of setting changes made or shift-left clicking on the Amount Mask button to blink Preview. There are no error/warning dialogs.
Memory and CPU usage remains low with no sudden surges or change.
Edit 1: Number of threads = 4; 2053 MB swap file space.
Closing the transform and re-opening will restore it... ...or closing the session and re-opening the program will also restore it.
Additionally... ...Off Topic suggestions for this transform:
(1) change the default Preview zoom to 1:1 to match the Chromatic Aberration transform
(2) add this to the Workflow available widgets... ...it would make a terrific companion to the ChromaticAberration widget when both are used sequentially [CA, then Defringe] and with 'breakpoints' in a Workflow.
