Where is the clipping warning setting?

Post by MikeFromMesa »

I was reading through the ASP Help file about the Preferences settings when I came across the following statement:

Shadow Warning — sets the shadow and highlight warning level. Values below the Shadow Warning level and above the Highlight Warning level will be highlighted when Clipping Warning is enabled.

That seemed reasonable enough but I have been unable to find where one can enable and/or disable the Clipping Warning. Can anyone point me to the (I assume) checkbox? Searching through the help file for Clipping Warning turned up only this statement and a reference to Perfectly Clear. Since Perfectly Clear is described as optimizing lighting while retaining true color and zero clipping it would seem clear that it is not the Clipping Warning checkbox. Yet I can find no other reference.

Thanks.

Try the little yellow warning triangle at the very bottom right of the ASP window.

The reason you can't find it is that the corel design engineers seem to be fixated on pretty at the expense of function.
It is designed to look better than bibble5, which frankly did need it.
But they did not design it to actually make sense or let you change it.
So the yellow clipping warning button is disconnected from being useful.

I think its to force us to remember all of the hotkeys.

Either way - get used to throwing that mouse cursor to all corners of the screen - where most interface designers put information instead of cramming buttons :twisted:
old Bibble user
Hmm is that (old) Bibble user or (old Bibble) user?

Thanks guys. Found it.

I suppose its location makes it easy to use if you can see it, but I am surprised that there is nothing in either the help document or the User's Guide to tell someone where it is.
