Ditto - Sadly there is a defect in AMD Adrenaline in latest version, regression, great.

Hmmmm. Thanks for the pointers to persevere, my main aim is to get more efficient, and just re-reading the docs has uncovered a few organiser tips. I'll have to do a screen recording or some-such to show how this is not working. I think part of the issue is that if you tap a toolbar to set focus to it, that the behaviour changes. The hotkeys work on this computer (version 5.9.8621) but not on my other desktop. So I'll have to go back to that computer to repro and update. Pretty sure it's just that computer.

I'm struggling today with learning to use this program, the tooltips on the "selection rectangle" for move selection and move pixels are M and Mx2 or SHIFT+M , but the MM and SHIFT+M don't do anything at all for some reason - I'm clearly missing something basic.

oh. I somehow thought it did. I'm using an video editor that uses a custom animation format for overlays. But I am now getting the impression that it's a in-house custom format after all. Ah well, thanks for the quick answer though.

I have a gif with about 20 frames/layers. It opens just fine using the agif plugin/filetype handler. I want to save it to a tiff (archive) and preserve the animation obviously - PDN wont do that, and I am wondering if any tool will do that?

I'm looking for a ripple effect, like the reflection effect plugin I guess, but not a reflection at all. I'm wanting to make a piece of paper look just slightly real and wavy, just a tiny bit. there used to be a plugin but that was like a decade ago and deadlinks to an external site. I'm looking for a gently wave, perhaps like a flag effect, but super slight just enough to make a piece of old paper look a bit realistic. Is making a bigger image and using reflection, then trimming it down again the best bet?

Thank @Ishi . I suspected someone had created a feathering plugin, just had no hope of finding it. I had a lot of plugins, too many for my general purposes and not had the time to research how to work with plugins so that one can arrange or group them. Hence I worked out something basic that only needs a blur effect, but Will definitely be installing the Feather and AA plugin tonight, since AA lets me do a bit more easy and simple editing.

A search for some guidance on how to do this led me to an old thread, but instead of playing necro I'll ask and try answer, since this is my first ever post. 1. I have dropped an image with transparency onto a background, but I want to remove the sharp edges it leaves behind. I effectively want to feather the image in. One way to do this really easily is following: I assume you already merged the images into one, So add a new layer, and make the new later the active one. Take the paintbrush tool, make the tip about 8 pixels wide (less if your image is smallish), and draw in any colour a nice outline around the new object. Take the brush over the background but catch the edge of the overlay as you go. Select the magic tool , and click anywhere on the outline you just drew to make a mask. Deselect the new layer. You will now see your mask over the original image, now select the blur tool (I used Blurs/Gausian blur) Play with the amount of blur, but 2 pixels is normally going to do the trick. I'm pretty sure this trick is common knowledge, but my google-fu was just not cutting it. This obviously works best if you have a solid background colour, if your background is more complex, then smaller brushes and fine control are required, but this should take you all of 60 seconds.
