Dynamic Crop
« on: 2017 April 17 12:18:47 »
If I save the process icon from a dynamic crop, I am unable to use it to do the same crop on another image stack except by manually transferring the X/Y values to the next instance of dynamic crop and afterwards trying to move the cropped rectangle to the same position as the  earlier cropped image. However, I can accomplish multiple identical crops with the manual crop tool. Is there a way to do this with dynamic crop?

after establishing the cropping rectangle, but before executing the crop itself, drag the triangle off the dynamic crop window to the desktop to get a process iicon. dropping that process icon on any image with the same dimensions as the original will result in it being cropped identically to the original.

If you have already executed the crop, you can drag the icon back from the history of the image to the desktop and crop several images, e.g. crop L and then R,G,B images.

You are right Gerhard. That is one of the most powerful features of PI as far as I am concerned. The ability to review and re-use the process history of images. Nothing else does that AFAIK. You show this to people that are not familiar with PI and often the light will go on in their minds.
Best,
