eidylon Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I would imagine this is a major thing, for 4.0... but maybe not, i dont really know. It would be great though... say i select some area on the canvas, then i go to Effects > Some Effect. Up pops a dialog, to let me set whatever options for the effect, with live-preview (this is GREAT by the way, kudos! )... only problem is, i cant really see how it looks, because of the running ants around the selection, and the "shading" of the selection area. It would be nice if while in the effects options dialog, it hid the ants and the shading so you could actually really see the live preview as it will look when finished. Cheers, keep up the AWEsome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 That is true...it would be nice! Seconded. On some effects, you could just copy it into a new layer and run the effect on the entire layer. But sometimes that doesn't work. I would really like to see this implemented.

Rick Brewster Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The selected area isn't shaded except when a selection modifying tool is active (rectangle select, move selection). I don't think it makes sense to remove the 'ants', but I could easily see making it dimmer.

eidylon Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 i still think it would be nice to hide those while the effects dialog is open. Once the effect dialog is closed, they would come back as normal. Cuz it is a bit cumbersome to select what i want to affect, then first switch to a different tool first, before doing my Effects choice.

Rick Brewster Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 No, because if you completely hide the "ants" then you can't necessarily tell where the effect is being clipped to.

eidylon Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yah... i guess i could see that being a little problem in a really complex document. So, yeah... i guess if the shading were hidden while "effecting", and like you said, just dim the ants out some so they dont interfere quite as much with trying to "see the whole picture".
