Helicon Soft Forum

Thanks Dan - much appreciated. Sorry for not replying earlier - lost in email hell. But with "Flower Macro" season upon us, it will come in handy.

Terry,

You are right. Undo should delete the last "stroke" not the last "point of the stroke".

I will add this to our to-do list.

Hello Terry,

judging from the version numbers you might have posted in the wrong forum. You are using Helicon Focus ( and not Helicon Filter) I guess?
Sorry, I do not know anything about it's usage.

Dan, Lutz-

Thanks for your reply. I just upgraded to 4.40, having discovered I was still on 4.21 But I think I'm probably not explaining myself properly.

I process the set of 13 images, and when I'm done, the focus through the depth of field is fine. But I have halos around some of the parts. So I find the source image where this is correct and select "Copy Source". I select a brush size of 30 and hardness of 30, with edge sensitivity at 0. I make a series of brush strokes, say 3 for example, and then make a mistake on the 4th.

My intent is now to eliminate the 4th brush stroke, leaving the first 3 alone. Pressing Ctrl-Z causes a repaint, but no change. I try "Undo last retouching operation" (third arrow from left). Like Ctrl-Z, it repaints with no change. So I try "Undo last Brush" - and all 4 brush strokes disappear.

I'm probably doing something stupid, but I can't get it right. What am I doing wrong?

We also added Ctrl-Y , Ctrl-Z shortcuts in the latest version as far as I remember. Does it work?

Hello Terry,

could you explain why the "undo/redo arrows" at the bottom are not working for you? How do you lose you retouching efforts?

I would very much like to just do CTRL-Z (or whatever) to undo one brushstroke at a time when retouching. Perhaps being able to undo the last 10 at least in order.

Despite reading the instructions multiple time, I still manage to lose most or all of my retouching session efforts all too often.

Thanks for your consideration.
