Hi, this is something we're aware of and will be addressing in a future patch.

Phew. I've just ploughed through the full set of in-house AP video tutorials, done by the most excellent James Ritson. To help me learn and provide a reference, I made personal notes along the way. Here they are, complete with links to each video, in case they may be of help for you. No guarantees and all that.

Attached is my complete set of notes about blend modes, now spread across 52 pages of A4.
These are significantly updated from the previous revision, with lots more 'recipes' and organisation of these under main topics, hopefully to make them more usable.
Enjoy.

Hello dm straker,
great macro,  thanks for sharing.

A way of sharpening is to add multiple high-pass layers, progressively reducing the radius and increasing the opacity.
Attached is a macro to do this, including the ability to tweak adjustments. Please try it out and let us know here if you find any better adjustments.
Apply it to a duplicate layer so you can switch the adjusted layer on and off to see the difference.
This seems to be quite labour-intensive, including as it readjusts when you zoom in. It can hence be a good idea to merge the effect into one layer (turn off the original layer and layer/merge visible to do this).
You can also try adjusting the opacity of the adjusted layer and even play with blend mode (eg. try Luminosity).

Likewise, the mid point and opacity dont with the slider can controlled

Hello together,
So far I was just a quiet reader and a compliment to the moderators, you make a good job.
So now to my problem.
I have a Graphic tablet from Huion (NEW 1060 plus), this worked so far, without problems in the AP Customer Beta 1.5.2.63,
and in the current version 1.5.1.54.
(Please, no discussion about Graphic tablet for my needs it this tablet OK)
 
The tablet does not work correctly or not satisfactorily  in the new AP Customer Beta Version.
If I open a TIF image and want to edit it with a Brushes or Pen Tool, there will be delays up to 15 seconds until the lines appear on the Monitor,
or the program does not react.
Wittily is this problem does not exist, when I am working on a JPEG image.
I hope you can understand.
 
best regards
