Hi Ben, Think I've found an anomoly in IM RT 150b. When selecting Annular, and choosing a circle whose circumference goes outside the image area (like with a large-ish circle centered near the left corner of the frame) IM will: 1. Create a band in the center of the image area, as if the effect were wrapping around from the right side of the image. or 2. Just crash the computer. Three finger re-boot time. Equipment: A2000 2630 2091 2 megs chip 8 megs fast ADOS 2.1 This particular .iff was 750 x 525, 24 bit. Any ideas? TIA, Jan

Jan, as a workaround until the bug is fixed, you could use Process/Clipping/Pad canvas to temporarily enlarge the image area, apply your Annular effect, then use Clip Region/Replace Primary to return to your normal 750 x 525 canvas. Blaq!

Charles, "Pad"-ing the canvas is a darn good idea, thanx. I hate it when I miss those 'simple' solutions. As always, the members of the Amiga Forum have proved invaluable! I ended up avoiding the problem. I wanted an expanding, circular wave for a radio tower (rendered in Imagine) and used the circle drawmode/brush draw/additive transparency with auto fade on to create the effect. Phew, what a keyboardful! It's a comp for a business card. We'll see if he likes it. Thanx, Jan
