Hi,
I'm working on AP for +/- 2y and its really annoying that there is no way to assign Hardness control to anything. I know trick with pen tablet, but still some key shortcut is needed. i.e. you are working on frequency separation or D&B - and you can change tool size by brackets[assign them to tablet buttons] but you can not change hardness quickly when switching between high/low layer. Current devices have wheels/dials/buttons where it could be used. Beside mouse or pen tablet we have MIDI controllers, special keyboards for designers or gamers.
Could you please add this feature?

@walt.farrell I know this method. I use it on tablet, with RMB assigned to button on pen. This combination cannot be assigned to any other key. Than answering your question -  Yes, I want to have possibility to change hardness of tool, same "way" as I can change size.  Than any user can use default settings or assign own, or customize special keyboard use keyboard dial etc...

I'm using 2x Xeon 5460 with 32GB RAM and I've noticed significant performance improvement compared to 1.6.5 when it comes to 16bit TIFF and multi cpu. I don't see anything on changelog related to it, but works fine  Thank you.
 

Hi Dev Team,
AP has some nice features/options which we use when editing image, but those are not available when creating macros. i.e. grouping two layers or in Apply Image you can select image/layer, blend mode, opacity, equations when editing, but while recording[and running again] macro only opacity change is available etc... When this will be extended, as currently only simple automation is possible?
Best regards,
Greg

1. Convert your image to LAB mode.
2. Duplicate the layer, and name the lower one "L" (luminosity) and the upper one "C" (color).
3. Go to the channels studio for "L" and click on the "..." for AOpponent, and click "Clear". Do the same for BOpponent.
4. Go to the channels studio for "C" and click on the "..." for Lightness, and click "Clear" and then "Invert".
5. Change the blend mode for "C" to "Color".
6. Duplicate "L" and name the lower one "L blur", then apply a blur filter of your choice (Gaussian or median, etc.) to this layer.
7. Create a new group named "High pass" and place "L" inside it. Then, duplicate "L blur" and place it above "L" (inside the "High pass" group).
8. Go to the channels studio for the copy of "L blur" inside the "High pass" group, click the "..." for Lightness, and click "Invert". Set the blend opacity to 50% (blend mode normal).
9. Set the blend mode for the "High pass" group to linear light, and then rasterize the group if you wish.
 

Hi,
 
Can we ask for official changes log for new update ?
I guess everyone is curious, as this is second update in short time.
