Enhance Image - Suggestions for Improvements
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2004 8:24 amHello nabocorp,
once again thanks a lot for this great piece of software - could't live without it anymore!
Using the enhance image function to work on my holiday photos, a few minor optimizations came up in my mind. In fact, I would always opt not to add more functionality, but to rather keep it simple, fast and stable.
Here's my two ideas:
1. Remember the tool used last.
If one has used crop & borders for the last image, come up with crop & borders for the next one someone is enhancing. Other people just want to do the red eyes (great feature by the way) or sepia on a bunch of files. Generally, if people just want to perform the same action on a couple of files, this could greatly accelerate the workflow
2. In crop & borders - seperate the Aspect Ratio from the Orientation.
When cropping images for printing, I usually choose the same paper size (i.e. 4 by 6) for all images, but frequently switch between portrait and landscape for the individual images. One dropdown box for the aspect ratio and another (radio button or checkbox) control for portrait/landscape might make work more convenient.
I hope that both changes should not be too deep - what's your opinion?
Best regards,
Oliver
