ART feature requests and discussion

I think they had this issue in DT with drawn masks so I think now you hold down a key or take an action to prevent a move…might be like you hold shift or control when you edit a node and the object will not move… From DT manual… " If you ctrl-click on the edit mode symbol you enter a restricted edit mode. Certain actions like dragging a complete shape or changing its size are blocked. Only finetuning changes like dragging a node are allowed.

Currently five shapes are implemented."

@Hombre almost a feature request: do you think it would be possible to have an “auto-round corners” button or checkbox ? Not per-node, but global for the shape? It would help make shapes around non flat lines smoother.

Good idea.

How about using the last roundness value as default when adding a new point? It should be trivial to implement and might be enough… What do you think?

I think it would work indeed.

2 points :

  1. You have to press the Ctrl key to create a point. Is it so cumbersome to hold the Shift key as well ? Remember that it will create a point with 100% roundness directly.
  2. … because the best way of creating the shapes (in most case) is to alternate “sharp” points and round points, so reusing the last value can be disturbing for those who use this technic

You can find a tutorial on how to use polygonal shapes here : agriggio / ART / wiki / Shapes — Bitbucket

Okay! What you did is so well thought! The Ctrl+Shift combo is working great
Reading the Wiki didn’t cross my kind, sorry for the buzz.

How to make Filmstrip hidden permanently? I collapse it in Editor mode by clicking the panel symbol. Then I hit ‘m’ to hide all the panels. Then I press ‘m’ again to show the panels. And Filmstrip is shown, but I want it to stay hidden.

hello @agriggio. I really like the volume slider to play with the color saturation of the color grid. Would there be an advantage to replace this grid by a color circle allowing to access the color saturation depending on the position in the circle? periphery= max saturation, towards the center= desaturation. And to add a brightness slider.
Here is an example of a color circle that can be found in krita.

Thank you.

Hi @jllailes, the “volume” slider is merely a convenience to have finer-grain control over the placement of the white dot in the grid. What you describe is already possible, although a bit differently than in krita. In ART there’s input saturation, controlled by the saturation slider, and then there’s saturation of the “tint”, controlled by how close to the edges the white dot is (plus how high you set your volume slider). For brightness, that’s what the “slope” slider does.

HTH

the slope slider plays on the brightness of the photo but not on the color brightness of the grid, right? However I don’t know if it would be useful to be able to vary the brightness of the color (hue)…?

I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean… hue and “brightness” are orthogonal dimensions: if you think (a bit sloppily speaking) in 3D as the correction grid being a view from the top of a xy plane, “brigthness” would be the vertical direction…

For many years DT was my number one photo editor, now it’s number two! I like ART a lot, especially the masks and equalizer I use a lot. It’s nice to follow the development in my old days (68): every day a new update of the GIT version. DT has an integration or link with enfuse, hugin and HDRmerge. Is it an idea to do this with ART too? So that 3 or more photos can be merged quickly and easily?

Welcome, and thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

Indeed, I have some ideas about this. But nothing concrete yet…

Hi,
I don’t see anymore “Color Toning”, has been removed?
Is there another way to get the same effect?
Thanks

Hi,
ART never had “Color toning”. There’s “color correction” in the local editing tab, and it’s not going anywhere.

HTH

Hi guys, probably is not the correct place to report, but since build 1.3.58 the last one that works perfect on my system Mac 10.13.6, all the new continuous build crash when opening.

Hi @zurdo, thanks for the report. Are you running with verbose mode on? If so, can you try turning it off and see if that makes a difference?

Also, can you try creating the directory $HOME/.config/ART/usercommands if it doesn’t exist?
