fade button

[Jim Clatfelter]

I woulld like to see a Fade Button. I use fade on almost every photo I edit. It could be near the Undo button. I never use reinforce and seldom need sepia, old photography, or relief. FADE would be 100 times more useful .

Fade is such a powerful feature. It should be very accessible, imo.

FADE is really a partial UNDO command (Shift-Ctrl-Z) isn't it? Other programs don't have this versatile and powerful feature. I think PhotoFiltre should be proud of it. It should have a button just like Undo and Redo. Photoshop Elements doesn't have this way of fading.

FADE UNDO REDO

This trio belongs together, easily accessible on a button. This is almost unique to PF. It makes precise editing so easy. Why not advertise it?

Is what you're saying not the Edit/Fade function ?

[Jim Clatfelter]

Yes!

I use that one on every photo I edit. It's such a powerful function. I'd love to see it on a button -- right next to the UNDO and REDO buttons. FADE is a partial UNDO. Who else besides Photoshop has it? I think a FADE button would make editing with PF so much easier and faster.

Thanks for considering it,
Jim

why not in the future version

[Jim Clatfelter]

Thank you Antonio.

That will be wonderful!

I've remapped my keyboard to work with PhotoFiltre Studio. The minus (-) key on the numeric keypad is now the fade opacity key. The plus (+) key is for a duplicate image. The divide (/) key is for stroke and fill. The multiply (*) is to merge all layers.

Incidentally, the copy and paste buttons work great for making duplicate layers fast. Paste as many duplicate layers as you want.

More than one way to skin a cat!

Yes! It would be really good to have a Fade button. This is definitely one of the best features of PF (any version), and it would be so handy to have it on a button.

I hope it is added to future versions of Studio.

[Jim Clatfelter]

I'm glad to have an echo and an ally on this.

Thanks for speaking up.

Don't forget the hotkey Ctrl+T

[Jim Clatfelter]

The hot key for FADE has been changed to Shift-Ctrl-Z.

Somebody realized that this key is closely related to UNDO (Ctrl-Z).

Shift-Ctrl-Z. is a little bit awkward to use, for me at least. A button would be much easier. And it would call attention to the ability of PhotoFiltre to execute a PARTIAL UNDO.
