PSP X3 - Convert Nodes to Curves script

Post by TXShooter »

I'm creating vector paths and having to go back to 'doctor' them up after being drawn. One issue that I'm having is how much time it takes to edit each node after the fact, and it take three times as long having to convert each one into a 'smooth curve', before and after. Are there any means of moving the right-click sub-menu into a menu bar for quicker access??

Yes you can.

You can also assign shortcut keys to these commands if you want.

View -> Customize

The customize dialog lets you assign short cuts, create toolbars, edit menus, and context menus (right-click menus).

One thing that I did was I recorded a script using "Curve Before" and "Curve After" and called it "Convert to Curve." I then added it to the context menu to quickly perform that function. I also double-click on a node to select all of the nodes in a contour and use that script to convert all the nodes all at once.

Now THAT sounds exactly like what I'm wanting to do.

I just created the 'menu', now I just gotta learn how to record scripts. I'm finding that I'm not so much an expert of using PSP as I thought I was as time goes by. (Baby steps.)
