Focal Blade 2 Preview Navigation Issue

Post by DBKettrey »

Harold, thankyou so much for continuing to improve the plugins I enjoy using so much! I love FocalBlade 2 - as well as the previous version - so I have both of them existing side-by-side in my Photoshop plug-ins folder.
About my preview navigation problem: On some zoomed images in the plugin, the preview area is locked to the left border of the image with limited vertical-only navigation (and sometimes just to the upper left corner of some images). On the other hand, there are some images in which the problem does not exist and I can pan freely from one image area to another.
I am running WindowsXP with Photoshop CS3 Extended.
I'll continue to test this issue so I can give you more details about when the problem happens and on what type or size of images and so on.

God Bless you. DB Kettrey

I am aware of this problem. It occurs for smaller images when you use a zoom that is larger than 100%. This bug will be fixed with an update.

I have version 201 :D and am interested in when this upgrade will occure.
I have many old pictures (small in size) that I want to touch up.

I also have this problem of being locked in the upper left corner, is there any idea when this will be updated.

Additional information request: :roll:

This occurs on a 1024 x 768 image. How big does the image have to be to get out
of this problem ?

Sorry for not including a fix for this problem in Version 2.01. Unfortunately this problem is not so easy to fix, so there was not enough time look for a solution.

Actually you get the problem with any image size, but with very large images (e.g. 4000 x 3000 pixel), there is only a small stripe on the right and bottom sides of the image that you cannot see in the preview at more than 200%. The higher the zoom, the less you see of the right and bottom sides of the image.

I now placed this problem at the top of the to-do list for verison 2.02. Until then to see the whole image in the preview you need to keep the preview zoom at 100% or less.
