sb101 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 "Added Ctrl+RightMouse to display tree of objects" looks interesting. it would be useful to have the tree expanded in full, (eg. with ctrl-shift-rmb or) as preferences option s.

The Belgian Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Quote Fixed Focus Merge always creating 96DPI documents (now uses DPI and metadata from first source image) when i copy from a pic with 300 dpi, after pasting from clipboard the new pic has always 96 dpi isn't it possible that when i select a piece from the image, copy it and paste from clipboard that the new pasted image has the same dpi as the original where i copied from automatically? txs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio60 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Open a photo, apply a liquify live filter and you'll get artifacts on many photos (hardware acceleration disabled). Furthermore, inside the "liquify live filter persona" I can't find a way to cancel the operation (if I change my mind) to return to the Photo persona, you can only press "done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Sdul Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 In tools, when selecting the box, zooming in with the mouse wheel, the horizontal movement is lost, it should be done with the shift key plus the mouse wheel so that the image moves horizontally.

Además, dentro de "licuar la persona del filtro en vivo" no puedo encontrar una manera de cancelar la operación (si cambio de opinión) para volver a la persona de la foto, solo puede presionar "listo". Confirmed. With Hardware Accelerator enabled, it works smoothly. At least in my case. mykee and Claudio60 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykee Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just a question: how can I use Pattern layers? I get a with and height parameters, but nowhere select image or anything. Tried place an image, rasterized, select an area, and used Layer -> New Pattern Layer From Selection, but this too much steps. I have many pattern, and I don't know how can I use its. Ok, I used Gradient tool, and there is Bitmap on Type list Fantastic addon like Live Liquify layer too! Great thanks! Uncle Mez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
