Rick Brewster Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 The magic wand uses a compute-intensive algorithm to do its work. This is totally normal.

Rick Brewster Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 You didn't say that it kept using 100% CPU usage after it was finished, so I assumed you meant that it was only doing that while the magic wand was doing its computations. Anyway, rendering the selection outline requires active CPU usage, and the magic wand has a tendency to produce complicated selection outlines. What type of system do you have?

Rick Brewster Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ok so it's not the fault of having an egregiously out of date system (like a 400mhz Pentium II) or barely any memory (say 128mb). Anyway I'll see what I can do about limiting the CPU usage when rendering the selection outline.

Rick Brewster Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 The next release (v2.5 Alpha 4) should be better about CPU usage in this scenario.

ralf_net Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 An alpha version is more a preview of a program, has bugs and not all features are implementet or implementet features will remove from the final version. A beta is relativ a finished version. It is tested by other people to find bugs and fix them. This are the diffrents )im my opinion :-) Quote Ralf Paint.NET and Sharp Develop - two powerful examples for the .NET technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
