(posted on the latest beta thread) I just started AD, then created a new A4 project, I added a pixel layer and painted a bit with one of the standard brushes. Zoomed in/out a bit and I got the CPU spikes easily, several seconds every spike. I don't get spikes on AD 1.5, and don't remember getting spikes with older betas. Regards.

Hello, I'm getting the same. Just a little project with a few shapes and some pixel layers. When I zoom in or press space the app hungs during few seconds. It does not happen if I open the file with 1.5 version. Windows 7, 11 GB RAM, quad core, radeon gt 730. Regards.

Thanks, I've seen that. Really useful, why not add the Alternate options for the normal brush ?

Hi, Recently I've been playing with the pixel tool. I have seen that the pixel tool doesn't have antialiasing like the regular brush, and the stokes seems sharper. But, when I select the Pixel Tool, at the end of the stroke options bar, I see an option named 'Alternate' with three possible values: Erase, Background color, Undo from snapshot. I didn't found info about such options. What are such options for ? Regards, Javier.

Hello, Same issue here, but I have a way to reproduce the issue (AP beta 1.5.1.54, Windows 7, wacom intuos CTH-480 tablet): 1.I open a pic where I'm working (three layers, 3200 x 5000 px, aRGB) 2.Select one of the DAUB brushes, ex. DAUB Bristles, Large Fibers | Dense Gouache 3.Paint something over my image with my wacom tablet (pressure controls size checked) 4.Then I create a new document, 1350 x 1800, aRGB 5.Draw something with the same brush on the new document 6.Then I go back to my first image. 7.I try to paint something, but nothing is painted. On the second (new) document, the brush works OK. 8. Reopen my first doc. 9. Paint on first doc with the brush, it works again. 10. Try to paint on the second/new doc, now it fails. etc... So it seems to fail when I open a second doc and use the brush there. I discovered that this brush have on dynamics: flow jitter 100%, pressure. If I lower the flow jitter value, I can paint again, darker as I lower this value, but doesn't work with the original 100% value. So If I want to recover the brush, I have to reopen the image. Regards.

Hello, I have Windows 7, Wacom Intuos CTH-480 with driver 6.3.16-2. I noticed the lag with the history panel opened. The performance is much better with that panel closed. Regards.

Hello, I add to the curves improvement. On PS, CO or LR you have different curves tools that shows a point or vertical line, over the curve or the histogram, while you are pointing your cursor over the image. This way you can check different areas of your image and see the tone, to check if it's too light or too dark, or if it is into the 'correct' zone. Lightroom have a tone curve tool where you can see the tone in % and before/after values; you can see a point on the curve without needing to edit the curve or place adjusting points. In Capture One you can see a line on all the histogram tools (histogram, leves and curves) while you move over the image. In PS, curves tool, while you press the left mouse button and move over the image, you can see the tone as a point that moves over the curve, before need to edit the curve. But on AP, to see the tone of an area of the image, you need to click the picker button, then locate your area, drag a bit there, place a point on the curve, then after that you can see the tone of that area. It would be really useful to see the tones of the image using the curves tools... or any other tool. I use the LR tone curve tool to check tones on different areas of the image (light and shadows on faces, for example). It happened me several times, when I end to edit a picture and send it for print, that the tones of the printing were a bit different compared to what I 'saw' on my monitor. The colors are ok, but I see darker tones near black and some light tones just pure wait on print. So now I check my pics with the tone curve tool before sending for printing, cheking if important areas are below 5% or above 90%, also if faces are into razonable values, so no matter if the bright of my monitor is not 100% correct, I check the real tones this way. This tool is really invaluable. Regards.

ok, me again... second crash, this time just adding efects to a layer. This is really annoying. Please, this app need more stability.
