Hey, I found a little bonus feature that Mike slipped into 2023.111 latest version.
See, this is what I normally do with a folder of images.  I place my cursor on thumbnail 1, and then hit the spacebar. Then I roll my mouse wheel one click at a time viewing each image in a pretty large size on my screen.
I see one that looks pretty good, so I right click and click select. This highlights that thumb as well as placing a dot in the lower right corner of the screen image. When I returned to the normal screen and looked at the selected thumbs, I found that the ones that were nice were done already. Now Mike added a little "touch" to that dot in the lowerright corner. It now has the same color as the filename.
In other words, if you used Image Editor, the dot will be red. If you used Raw Refine, the dot will be blue. If you used both, the dot will be purple.
Pretty neat!

Mike,

Not sure if I'm just seeing a "me" issue or if anyone else has seen this issue.  When I print a "half page" unclog sheet, my printer will print the half sheet with no issues, but will continue to print the remainder of the sheet with what appears to be the gloss optimizer.  It did this a few versions ago and I thought it was a "one time" thing but it did it again this past weekend with V2023.111.  I have an Epson R2000 printer.

Thanks,

Dave

Open your unclog job settings and check in the driver to see if you have the gloss optimizer set to "Full".  If so, set it to "Auto" instead.  "Full" will try to cover the whole printable area (entire page).  You wouldn't want it set to "Full" anyway because you want it to pulse like the colors do in that purge sheet.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks Mike,

I will check when I get home tonight.  I am about 100% sure you nailed it, as I think I set it to "Full" a little while ago when I was troubleshooting ink issues I was having and I'm sure I had forgotten to set it back to "Auto".  I'll report back when I check it.

Thanks,
Dave

Mike,

Just as you called it, I indeed had set gloss optimizer to "Full".  All good now.  Much appreciate the great support as always!

Thanks,

Dave
