Curly Quotes - Finally!!!.jpg

Ho ho ho!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone! (Belated!)

My dear curly quotes finally work in the latest beta - I'm so excited to be able to use PL without going back and forth finally.

Thank you, @Martin and @Gerhard!

Question, though: The beta, I see, requires a new registration. I reckon you'll be releasing it soon. Will we get an email when it comes out or should I just come here to check?

Thanks again.

I have a small feature request (hopefully, not too difficult to implement). I want to be able to change the background of the layer thumbnail in the layers panel from transparency to a solid background. Preferably to a colour of choice. It is quite hard to see things like smoke on checkerboard background in the thumbnail, and unless I name it, find it among hundreds of layers becomes quite difficult. How do others feel about this?

Affinity, in their otherwise terrible GUI choices, got this correct. Attaching screenshot for reference. I'd love to be able to change this in PL too.

- Could it come in this dropdown menu?

Thank you!

hundreds of layers

For one image? A photograph? Man, what are you doing?

Maybe you should learn how to take almost perfect photographs instead of twisting pixels?

How do others feel about this?

No need for this feature on my end. The maximum number of layers I've ever used was 5, including a duplicate of the original.

The icons resemble the layer as it is. As soon as you turn of transparency, you will see the icon with a white background. Then you can set the transparency to i.e. 50% or any other value. Or even better: Use a mask, then select i.e. Lighter, Darker or whatever effect you want to achieve.

A complex sample with just 3 layers, one of them with transparency, including the original to adjust the light in different regions:

Not everyone is using it for photo editing alone, I'm sure.

I do know how to know take near perfect photographs, too. Prefer if you don't condescend. Thank you.

There are plenty of people who might want to use it for photo compositing and mock ups. PL is perfectly built for this use case. And yes, for these, you may end up using hundreds of layers sometimes. You may draw artificial glasses and smokes.

[der_fotograf]

Before you demand or request additional features, you should LEARN and UNDERSTAND the software and its capabilities.
Then make a concept.

Only people without a formal education, qualification, and experience need »hundreds of layers«.

When I was at university, we had an art board, some pens and paper. We used a concept to create the most exciting designs for newspapers, posters, flyers, logotypes, you name it.

Only those without a concept failed mercilessly.

Today, you have superior tools at your hands and don't even know how to use them. That is extremely disgusting.

[PPaul]

I use PL mainly for layout purposes, and having many layers is very normal for me. A logo often has many layers, and then all the textlayers, images, adjustementlayers and so on. I group layers as much as possible to keep an overview, but still, there will be many layers.
One of the uses of PL for me is to import a flyer, folder, birthdaycard or small magazine and correct many elements, like improving photographs, alignment of pieces of backgrounds, text and so on. These documents are mailed to me in PDF by my customers, and are often made in Word or something like that. So I don't have a nearly perfect source to begin with. PL is my perfect toolbox for this. A few minutes of work and the document is good, or at least good enough to print for the customer.
So, this feature could indeed be very useful. A page with dozens of layers is no exception.

I'm sorry - what? You know what is "extremely disgusting"? It's your lack of decency and decorum in a public forum. Speaking of formal education, "Decency is the beginning of education," and that's far more important than knowing how to use layers in your compositions. And of that, you have none.

Please don't respond to my threads any more. You're clearly not interested in a conversation, and just want to troll for a response. Of course, I can't and won't prevent you from posting. But I'm no longer going to dignify you with a response. You're free to rage and flail as you want.

I'd rather have meaningful exchanges with others, like Paul here. @PPaul: Thank you for your response. I'll take that as +1 for feature request.

Congratulations, you just made it onto my ignore list. But rest assured, you are not alone there…

Kann man schon das Upgrade kaufen für Version 25?

Info for new users (from my observations started in 2019, when i joined this forum): der_fotograf is a forum troll who have no idea how to use PhotoLine. Without any reason post meaningless boring photos of streets and potatoes. Denying any new ideas, abusing new users and probably hired by Adobe or Affinity to slow down PhotoLine development. Discussion with that user makes same sense as discussion with AI bot.
