3. Why move a poorly positioned item? Why can't PSP position it correctly?
4. View->Workspace Color...Yes. 4 basic color schemes. The 3 new ones (with patch 1) are fair to poor if you're color blind.

By poorly positioned - I was merely meaning "operator error"

A recent topic has brought these three up for me

1) Constrained dragging. Allow us to constrain either the X or Y movement of a selected Object (Raster or Vector) by holding a certain key as we click+drag that object/layer around.

2) More granular control over Vector placement. With the advent of being able to select multiple raster layers (thank you by the way) we finally have access to the options for aligning and distributing rasters. But we never had quite the same control (being able to see and edit the pivot point X and Y values or the X and Y start potions or the Scale, Perspective, Shear (skew?), or angle) of vectors (at least since I've known PSP). to set these values. I made a script for it but I shouldn't need one to be able to be that precise.

3) Rasters don't seem to snap to guide lines in PSPX4. I must admit I've never tried to use them in prior versions because of the granular control of the pick tool so I don't know if this is a new development or what. But I don't like it. Vectors snap just fine. But rasters don't. Rasters snap to a grid just fine so why not guide-lines?

I'm not sure if this is on the list without reading all the posts! Yes I'm lazy. Sorry. Actually I haven't the tim eto read them all.

The opacity slider on the layers is a real horror. I use 50% often and trying to get that sucker on 50% can be a real pain.
Either allow for a numeric entry or up and down arrows as per many of the tools.

Unless someone know of a way I haven't figured out.

Thanks.

The arrow keys work for that. Although i agree that a numeric entry would be an added feature!

Thanks. I simply didn't know you could use the direction arrows for this. I must read the instructions one day. :?

The layer properties on the layer menu has a numeric entry for opacity. That is where I change all my layer properties.

Windows works great for me, but Mac and Linux support would only make the product better IMO.

Full Feature Compliance with NIK Software Plugins

Post by Rob Greenstein »

Full Feature Compliance with all the current version NIK Software Plugins. Granted PSP X4 Ultimate includes NIK Software Color Efex Pro 3, but that is the predecessor version. NIK Color Efex Pro 4 has many improved and new filters and features. Plus the rest of the NIK Software Complete Collection is exceptional!

I have managed to get the NIK Color Efex Pro 4 and NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 to launch from AfterShot Pro. However, this requires reconfiguring the AfterShot Pro Preferences > External Editor, each time to use a different program. This is a limitation due to the fact that AfterShot Pro accepts only one External Editor configuration at a time.

The NIK Software and Corel Dev Teams, need to resolve this matter so that full compliance, benefits and strengths of both companies products will work with the other.

There are reported issues with the new workspaces - two of these are
Adjust>Histogram
and the histogram adjustment layers omit the display of the histogram itself!!!!!

Does anyone know of others so that they can be reported?

I would like to have a filter that simulates Bokeh effects included in PSP.
