Title: Curious about navigator window
Post by: Bill L. on March 28, 2010, 11:43:43 AM
Hi All,

I'm running Phocus 2.0 on Windows Vista.  It works well for me, but I'm curious about the navigator window in Phocus.  It has a number of black pixels in the image, depending on the image say 2-3% to almost 15-20% of the total image can be blacked out pixels.  Any idea what these are supposed to indicate, and ideally how to get rid of them?  The image in the viewer at 100% looks fine, but I'm trying to figure out what the navigation window is trying to indicate.

Thanks!
Bill

could someone post a screenshot ?

at a guess it's more likely a bug than a mysterious indication of something in the image.

From the sound of it, it seems to be more something that is in the embedded preview. Which is why you do not see it in the 100% view.

Try exporting jpg fast previews to see it they show this phenomena as well. I think they will.

jpg fast previews are fine.

I'm not particularly concerned about this problem, more curious. I'll try to post a screenshot later.

Ah.... I see. In the navigator pane itself, not in the preview.  I have not seen this myself, maybe it is Windows version related. I use MacOS.

Try downloading the latest video card driver. There was a version of nvidia driver that produced similar results in photoshop.

Guys, apparently I have a Radeon HD4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express.

As I've said, I don't see this anomaly as a problem.

Funny. I have the same video card but flashed for the Mac.
