John Rostron Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have created a macro to wrap an image around a bottle. This works very well. One option is to alter the viewpoint above or below the horizontal. If you wish to use this option, you need to expand the canvas above and below the image first to make room. Within the macro, you adjust the perspective by altering a slider in the b (or Perspective) parameter The wraparound action also shrinks the image horizontally, so that you end up with transparent areas at the sides. I thought that it would be an idea to clip these using Document > Clip Canvas, .so I added this step to the macro. Unfortunately, the macro applies the Clip Canvas before the user has a chance to alter the sliders, after which the sliders are unresponsive. Note: I would have liked to incorporate the Document > Resize Canvas. command into the macro, but, as seems to be well-known, the dimensions get baked into the macro, so I have not attempted this.

carl123 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 On 6/2/2020 at 10:11 AM, John Rostron said: after which the sliders are unresponsive It is my understanding that if you have any user variables in a macro (e.g. the slider) every time you alter the slider the steps in the macro after that are then recalculated (i.e. rerun) from where you changed the variable/slider. If so, it would mean that every time you move the slider the clip canvas has effectively not been run at that point in time and will run after you release the slider This appear to be the case when I run your macro (with clip canvas added) so I'm not quite sure why you say the "sliders are unresponsive" for you.

And I see the same behaviour as you see @carl123. My sliders are still working as expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
