Re: Transparency problems

<r>Thorsten,Many thanks for that. I will try to reproduce it here! I'm not familiar with alpha channels.Does this mean that the Manual is in need of revision? It specifically mentions an eye-dropper....John. On 11 Feb 2010, at 20:14, Thorsten Lemke wrote:   Hi, Oh, nice sample. I upload now a short ...

Re: Transparency problems

<t>Thorsten,Here is a sample file.I am trying to make a replacement jigsaw piece. I scanned with a black background to kill shadows round the edge.But the black may or may not be a true black.So I want to pick up the colour it actually is, so I can paste the area around the missing piece with the "b...

Re: GC crashing when opening graphic file

<t>Deleting the preferences is such a common experience that I think it would be useful to have an "Archive and delete Preferences" and "Restore Preferences" tool, either within GC or as a separate tool. (I include "restore" because it's so tedious either replacing the preferences files or resetting...

Re: Wrong file creator

<r>Yes, but you are moving them from one storage format (the camera) to another (the Mac).In my case, I can be looking at the *same file* from the OSX environment and the Basilisk/Classic environment and the type and creator get turned round. On occasions I've wanted to move a whole lot of files fro...

Re: Problem with preview

<t>Roberti, I think your problem MAY be similar to that reported by Matti (havema1) in his "Wrong file creator" thread.How are your internal and external drives formatted? If they are the same, that isn't the problem, but if they are not it's just possible that the Finder file data is being corrupte...

Re: Wrong file creator

<r>Matti, this is indeed a endian problem.I run an Intel iMac and have Basilisk installed (so as to be able to run Classic applications), and I see exactly the same phenomenon when moving files from one environment to the other.There are various work-arounds available in that situation (none of them...

Re: Change to clipboard paste functions

<r>I don't have much of an opinion on this one way or the other.But it does bring GC more into line with the general behaviour of Mac applications. I can't think offhand of an application that doesn't work this way.Now streams of people will come along and offer examples that don't conform...John On...

Re: Show image height & width in browser?

<r>We've probably wandering off-topic here, but one unit I always enjoyed was in use at least in Ferranti and parts of the MoD in the 1970's - a nibble for four bits... In those it was a useful concept. Octal was much used then, rather than hexadecimal. Memory was scarce in those days.I acknowledge ...
