help from levi please or an X4 expert..

I have the same problem as filly. The opacity bar numbers jump from one side to the other and when it gets to the 50s it partly disappears over to the right. No majore deal, just annoying.

As for Filters Unlimited not working on a raster layer, I agree this is most annoying.

I am currently working with a Corel employee to ratify the problems with non-working filters/plugins in PSPX4.

I have constant crashes applying certain filters.

My workspace is not remember in that it's not remembering my context menus.

Layer and Materials palette takes up half of my workspace when I open PSPX4 and it has to be adjusted every time.
I also have to Load my workspace every time. Frustrating, yes it is, but believe these are fixable.

As Levi stated, we were given the software to trial for bugs and glitches and there were many and still some left. Many of the Beta testers worked very hard on PSPX4 and it's not our fault that the software was prematurely released before the software was ready for the public. Bad, yes it is, but blame Corel!

Hoping that the Service Pack 1 will solve all issues in PSPX4, I will reserve my judgement on this one. A wait and see, is all I can do.

Thanks I have no problems with plugins crashing X4
in fact I don't think I have had a crash yet I am probably speaking too soon!!!!!
and agree the fact that FU won't work on a raster layer but will a merged..
Corel should go back to their patch 3 for X3 it was working perfectly up to then..
I see you have a 24" monitor mine 23" there lies the problem with the opacity slider..
as I have said they have the blend mode and opacity side by side..
in previous versions they wer one above the other..
agreed roll on patch 1.
Apart from that it is a great version..
Much as I can't convince my psp friends..I like it..
even better only paying $39.99.
when they get the few problems fixed they are on to a winner..Cheers

For a horizontal mirror, I found that the following seems to work in X4
In edit mode open the image you want, then effects menu, reflection efficts/rotating mirror. set to wrap, horizontal offset %: 100 rotation angle 0.

At least, I think that is what you wanted?
You can also put a rotatining mirror button on the toolbar if you wish.

[Filly]

Thanks for that tip have done that it works beautifully..
Do you have any answers on how to get FU working on a raster layer..
another plugin I found that doesn't work is Filter Attacks..
Cheers

Sorry, nothing yet on FU. It works fine on X2 and PSE9 for me but not with X3 or X4. Patch #3 on X3 did some pretty funky things that messed with layers. Topaz ReMask stopped functioning after patch #3 and would throw an error that it couldn't read the mask layer. Patch #5 fixed the Topaz issue but not the FU issue where it only works on a background layer. It doesn't appear to see the pixels in a raster; only the transparency.

Kathy another that doesn't show the layer is adjust variations but worked fine..
today I was using it and it did show the layer then went back again it didn't strange..
I had a curt email from Corel support when I asked about the opacity layer and FU..
looking back at X3 it is the same but being a lighter colour the end digit shows over the side..
they asked me to name their person whom said they know the problems that happened after
patch 2 in X3..this person disputes it telling me to go back to icnet..they are still waiting an answer from me..
I got my information from a reliable source.. she has it working in X3..
by not installing patches 3,4,5.. I found it did as well but others didn't work like Xenofex..
one worked with one patch but not the other..
I do hope they can fixe it..Cheers

Mine works perfectly at 100% to 81% then it jumps to one digit from there on down to 0%. To me it looks to be avoiding being block by the mouse. However even if I move the mouse diagonally it stills hides I digit. I never noticed this in the betas....

[Filly]

Yes the same with me it is ok until 81%
I looked back on X3 it is the same width and the digit disappears
but it can be seen as the workspace is grey and black..
with X4 it is all black..
looks like it happens with the wider screens..
hope they fix it.I have told them am not sure if they are interested..
perhaps if we keep nagging..Cheers

Now, Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical were complained about from the beginning we wanted to keep them and get the old functionality back. Instead they gave us the ability to get the old functionality back in scripting form only. To get the old mirror and flip functions back you can create scripts and bind them to the menu. There are two very easy ways.

1) Record a script from an older version that only does Mirror. And one that only does Flip.

Or

2) Record a script in X4 that only does Mirror. And one that only does Flip. Then open them up in a Text Editor and change the parameter "TransformLocally" to 'False".

By default this value is set to False that's why other scripts behave normally even though they don't have this parameter.

Levi, I tested this on a image with two layers. In order to get both layers to flip, there is a line Apply to All Layers : False. I had to change the False to True, and then it worked perfectly.

Yes that has always been an option of Flip and Mirror but we were only talking about flipping one layer at a time the old way. XD But that's become of very limited use in X4 as you can select all of the layers together and use a single command on all layers without the use of a script.
