<< DOS limitation will cut you off at 512. Now it's my turn. A question: I just
can't understand why pennello did not include some sort of friskate which would
allow the user to define a hot/safe boundry. Without it I have to go through
too many queue entries and file stream control. Am I missing something there?
Thanks, youre right about the file limit. If you mean by hot/safe boundry the
ability to apply brushes to only a part of the image you are right, it would be
a great feature. Im doing a lot of brushing one set of images then using alpha
to overlay another previously brushed layer.One thing I figured out may help.
Since the brush stroke color is based on the color of one pixel under the
center of the brush stroke, it works just as well in most cases to use low res
(376×240 or even 188×120 ) source files and then use source scale to render
full size output. This saves lots of time rendering the source files and for
images that will be moderately to heavily brushed I cant tell the difference.
