It may be a good idea to upgrade. But don't throw away the old if you are working at high magnification (and h...

<t>Hi Thorsten, >the 5.9.x is really old. So, it is maybe not fully compatible with >10.6.8 or later. I've long known that - in fact that is why I bought version 7/8, because you warned us that it was not suitable for use with 10.6. However given the fact that GC 8 almost doesn't work at all for the...

<r> Re: [gcmac] Re: G.C. updated? Hi Thorsten, do you make the selection from the top left? I make the selection from whatever direction I can, depending on what I seek to achieve. Here is a selection of the possibilities: 1.  Suppose I wish to 'collect' a row of pixels at the top of an element in a...

Hi Thorsten, >the toolbox is a palette. Palettes are hidden by the MacOS if the >application is not the frontmost. That is the normal MacOS behaviour. Yes, but in GC 5.9 it doesn't reappear when you click on GC again, as it does in GC 8. Best, T. -- Tony Jackson, Devon, UK.

<t> Re: [gcmac] Re: G.C. updated? Hi Thorsten, as written: use CCITT 4 compression for black & white. That is the best method for such files. That is what I used for my most recent test. What is the problem with the pixel editing? At which zoom? I need the exact details to find anything or to ch...

<t>Hi Thorsten, Our messages crossed, but... >You get the smallest file size for good black & white drawings if >you save as TIFF with CCITT 4 compression. Because that method is >designed for such files. The two types of compression offered in 'Save as' by GC8.6 were Packbits and LZW when I sav...

<t>Hi Thorsten, >the PNG format does not have the automatic reduction, yet. Don't think I understand. Does this mean that it will do more compression in a later version of GC? >I saved as TIFF and get an 8 KByte file. I had a fresh look at this. Looks as though I may have re-saved as TIF from GC 5.9...

Here are the files - hopefully the names are self-explanatory? They are all based upon the pdf. The one from GC5.9 began as the GC8.6 opening of the p...

<t>Hi Thorsten Thanks for your (as usual) very speedy reply! Sorry this message got sent twice - I stopped the send before making some amendments, but my Mac lied when it said I'd stopped it in time! >the checkerboard pattern is displayed for transparent areas. You can >disable this in the prefs. Or...

<r>Hi all, Below is the text of a reply which I sent to a friend who wrote asking about GC, following a review he had read. As you see, I was unable to recommend it for pixel editing, for reasons which I've aired here from time to time to no avail. Still, there has recently been a small improvement,...
