New darker color scheme is great!  Much easier to see smaller color variations that need to be corrected. 

That bug of stalling in the right pane seems to be fixed too and it hasn't stalled nor stopped responding ... yet. 


Aside, one item I noted was when I had a B&W in the Editor and selected SmartColor as I set a small value to correct for paper coloration, all values went from 0.0 to 2.95 () and no color shift was seen in the B&W.    I had initially set a value of 0.98 Magenta and 1.03 Blue to the N(eutral) values to simulated a cooler selenium paper tone.  The N values were also set to zero by the SmartColor addition and I lost the selenium look.  I use the N channel for color-tuning to get rid of what appears as a greenish bromide paper look that looks yucky on portraits.

However, under "Delete Associative Filters" there isn't a selection to delete the "SmartColor" Filter alone, or at least one that will reset it and leave my fine-tuning color values alone too.

If I have a RGB value changed in some of the Editor's color blocks, it clears out SmartColor as well as the Alteration I made too (e.g. Like adding 0.98 Magenta/1.03 Blue in the N color that I had selected in addition to SmartColor above.).  Luckily I remembered the initial values I had used to get the toned effect once they all had set to zero.  I was sort of surprised it erased the initial values in N on applying the SmartColor (or why it jumped so high from 0.0 to 2.95 on a B&W even though I applied a slight print coloration, but it seemed to make zero difference for that large a number change other than deleting my small set values which when applied again makes the selenium tone even thought it is showing 2.95 everywhere else.).


Oh well.  Back to changing out another 6 ink tanks, so that means one blank full color page to get the ink flowing, and another 2-5 pages for profiling as the color will shift in the magenta/blue/yellow someplace as usual.  That makes 19 ink tanks in one week!  Bloody ink sucker (Canon 9000 II with the tiny 12-13ml tanks.).

For me, let's back that truck up! (Quoting from Tim, the Toolman Taylor)
Data base? Who needs it?
I name my folders when I upload from my flashcard.

I think I felt the same way when my neighbor bought a car with Power steering. "You have to know how to drive and you don't have trouble turning the wheel when parking or a U-turn"

There are about a half dozen really nice photo places near Sarasota, Fl that I enjoy... Emerson Point, Waterfront park at the Marina, Under the Causeway Bridge, The South Jetty in Venice, Anna Maria Pier, Venice Pier, and Jungle Gardens.
What happened over the years to the master plan?
I looked and found I had named all my folders.... South Jetty 04-05-2009;    South Jetty  06-22-2009; Jungle Gardens 03-01-2003;  and so on and so on and so on...
After so many years,  I can't find anything.  The attached was shot 5 and a half years ago at the Jungle Gardens. How can I find that when someone asks for a print?
Holy Moley! Now all I do is tag the folder with something noteworthy and especially the image. I tagged that BIRD.
Now all I do is a search for "BIRD" and I might get 2 dozen that I thought were noteworthy bird shots, but it will be located and placed in an album folder for me.

Now I love Power Steering and I love this data base.

Hi Mel,
Asked Mike about that yesterday morning.
QU was looking for RATINGS. If you did a bunch of ratings, or if you had a lot of folders or subs to check, it was looking for that. Apparently, it will carry ratings in the new data base along with all the tags we add.

Oh, I forgot to mention; it also checks your computer for Porn...

My computer is old and slow.  So am I.
