I'm unsure if this what you want, but in a levels adjustment (live or not) hold the alt key (windows) while changing the black & white level sliders - the blown out areas are then highlighted.

Give them time - after all it's only been 5 years.

XnViewMP for me. Not ideal, but I've grown to like it. Very east to change file info too eg modified & exif dates etc .

Shame most other companies breached do not show the transparency shown here!!

This should be an URGENT change. I couldn't less about my Forum login.

I'm using the beta. Active tab identification is rubbish and has been so since AP first launched. Pretty sure I posted similarly years ago.

I (still) find it far too difficult to identify the active tab (Photo) among the many I may have open. Why can't the active tab background or the text be a different colour (maybe green)? I can't find any setting to change this. To close the active tab, the only easy and reliable way I find is to use Ctrl-W.

Why give MS a cut of the license fee? Do they add any value? Yes, I know Apple do the same, but the same applies.

But who would know it is there? You didn't and you seem to know pretty much everything (not sarcasm!). Maybe both, but certainly it should ask on install IMO.

And me. It's a PITA as is.

Great, but Preferences is the wrong place IMO. It should ask on install. And it didn't pick up my macros.

All the folders?

When I changed from msix to msi it didn't pick up my settings. Fortunately, I had taken a copy of my Workspaces folder. Same happened when I installed the beta alongside.

And use the hotkey to load images directly into Photo - user configurable.

My way, and bear in mind I only use Photo. First find and copy the Workspaces folder for the msix version (you'll have to search for it), then install and run the msi version and hope it picks up your settings. Uninstall the msix version. If the new install has not picked up your settings, copy the Workspaces folder to the location of the new Workspaces folder (again search for it) and all should be well . If you have not customised the interface or shortcuts, you can safely uninstall the msix version and install the msi version.

I can't use a Macro to place generic lines to then move about 😢

Thanks, I've got it working now. Probably an error using the pen tool initially.

Anyone help me further?

I'm missing something, as I can't get the image after perspective correction to line up with the pen tool lines; your 2nd & 3rd images.

That's interesting. Now the pen tool I tend to avoid as much as possible - can't remember the last time I used it, but will try it. I had tried using guides with limited success.

I am familiar(ish) with both the live and normal perspective corrections tools, but don't know how to get the best result from the adjustment. When I drag outward left or right on the top handles to correct converging line distortion, the height of objects (buildings and people) become foreshortened so I drag the handles upwards to restore what looks like a proper ratio, but is there a way to get a "correct" ratio other than by eye/guessing? I find this particularly difficult when dealing with photos with people in the foreground.

No, one Apple a day leads to severe financial problems. It's why I use Windows...oh, apart from my iPhone of course 😁

Although now the msi/exe installer is available, normal service has been resumed.

I have the odd freeze, but then that was also the case with Win 10. It feels slower, but my i5-8600 is probably struggling.

Only due to the howls of protest and anguish from users. But at least they did it.
