dmstraker Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 So you've just rotated your image and now have four nice transparent triangles in the corners. So what do you do? Here's a way of handling it: Select/Alpha Range/Select Fully Transparent Select/Grow/Shrink... (Radius 1px) Edit/Inpaint This should select the corners and give AP the opportunity to apply its Inpainting algorithm. At best it's a perfect fix. At worst, it's a start and you can clone bits that are not inpainted so well. You do need to do the Grow, by the way, as without it you can get missed pixels and an inpaint that is not fully opaque (I think these are bugs and have reported them - until the fix, you need the Grow). jer, John Rostron and Emrebel 3 Quote Dave Straker Cameras: Sony A7R2, RX100V Computers: Win10: Chillblast i9 Custom + Philips 40in 4K & Benq 23in; Surface Pro 4 i5; iPad Pro 11" Favourite word: Aha.

dmstraker Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've just found that you have to rasterise before inpainting into transparent corners (and after canvas stretch). Process: Layer/Rasterise… Select/Alpha Range/Select Opaque Select/Invert Pixel Selection Edit/Inpaint Select/Deselect Macro to do this in one click attached.

Cobra Pilot Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Dave, I just saw this thread. I wish I had stumbled over it sooner. Your tip is great and solved a mystery about the alpha ranges. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquatodd Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Having ' straightened ' and cropped a photo , I cannot get the ' shrink/grow ' facility to work ! I've followed the instructions both on the ' Straightening ' video tutorial and 'dmstrakers ' method. The option to shrink / grow remains greyed out !

aquatodd Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Thanks jmwellborn , think I've sorted it. Straightened a photo and cropped it BUT seem to have left a little of the photo framing border on ! I could only select ' alpha range - opaque ' !! Removed the offending border edges and all sides fine ( for now ! ) Edited September 4, 2020 by aquatodd jmwellborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
