    You should have layers like this: Thing is, you cannot set blur layer nested to mask layer unless you drag it separate first. After nesting you can drag it back within background layer. AP usually fails to inform if some action does not apply. Hope this will get smarter in the future.

    If you select "rasterize" for a layer it certainly removes extra area behind the "crop border".

    For some reason filter does not take to mask direct. You can drag the mask separate from image layer and use the filter and it should work ok. Then drag mask back nested to image layer (if needed, it works also as separate layer).

    There should be an option to select "open files" as source in batch job window.

    It is just you. Those are not lighter/darker adjustments, they are for setting black and white points. When you drag BP to the right towards lighter values you can see where the target is in the histogram, moving towards lighter areas.

    Handtracing is best if you need quality result (like font production does).

    Work copies should be saved local. Cloud has its problems plenty..

    Why dont you just combine PDFs with Preview? Easy as haymaking. Or most printers can take separate PDF pages for that matter.

    It would be nice if AP would treat multi-image constructs flexibly. You could extract pano/multirama, focus stack, super resolution from same stack and all effects at the same time.

    Indeed, it would be very nice if you could make global colour adjustments and it would alter the colour values in vector objects direct. Radical! :lol:

    Crop to size -option really should be added. Not so sure if destructive mode is needed.

    Have you tried Document Setup>Colour? That is, if greyscale is the thing you are after.

    Are you sure AP is applying some curve? RAW in AP looks quite bland and off when opened ..

    Mac App Store displays latest version number but I guess you are talking about windows version.

    I am thinking more about print quality – stochastic screen vs. silver grain. There are ways to print true negs from digital file, but cheaper they are not.

    Drag from the ruler to add a guide – this behaves as expected (though only with arrow tool)

    umm.. you could just ignore naming and layer name activation disappears (gets default name) when you do your thing using what ever tools you want. Of course if you try to change tool by pressing a key it would not work, also text tool would be a problem... then you need ESC.

    ah, you mean you have to separate mask temporarily from parent for it to take filter layer? And mask can be dragged to original position after adjustment? Seems to work. (Feature request would be that adjustment/filter layer should be applicable to mask (layer) direct.)

    is there difference in using inkjet transparency or true negative film in printing? I would think there is..
  20. Fixx
    How good is the negative if it is ordinary laser print using transparent film? Laser prints halftones, not contone (though you might argue traditional film is not contone either but grain based).

    I have not made palladium/platinum prints, mere photogravure long time ago... But I do not think there are any special tasks for AP in such production. Maybe it is needed to control Dmin and Dmax, maybe there have to be some correction curve. Probably you can produce neg image like any image. Most challenges are in producing the actual physical negative film. I have no idea what devices can be used there. Maybe there are contone printers or laser exposers that can print to film?

    Ok, let's say you use File>Place, not File>Open.
  23. Fixx
    You can import PDF as embedded element by dragging it to AP document window. Then it looks like original (for some reason scale is not right). You cannot though edit it as layout document, you have no access to its internal objects. You can scale, rotate and skew. You can use pixel tools only if you rasterize it. There are lots of apps that can save PDF as image if that is needed.

    OSX seems to autocorrect point to comma in all applications :-) Basically you can set preferred decimal in Language & Region Preference, but it does not affect autocorrect.
  25. Fixx
    I can use either comma or point in AD/AP as in other apps too. Seems to me correct behaviour. Locale is Finnish, with English as language.
