Tarkus Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Following workbook on page 92. I can manually select the four items in layers but then must use control-z to undo. I cannot use the layer menu to Release Compound as the workbook describes. BUT, if I select the layers I want and use the Layers Menu to Create Compound, I can then use Release Compound. Not sure this is a real problem or just me. Seems like no matter which method I use to create a compound the Layer Menu Release Compound should work. Using Windows 10.

walt.farrell Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Does it work if you try it on 1.6.5.123 (or .135) rather than on the beta? That might help indicate if it's a problem in the beta, or you doing something wrong. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

It sounds as though you haven't held down the Alt key to create the Compound object, as mentioned in Step 1 on pg. 91. Clicking 'Add' will create a regular curves object that cannot be released at a later date. Clicking 'Add' with the Alt key held down will create a Compound object that you can later use 'Release Compound' with. I've just tried this in 1.7.0.258 and it is working as expected.
