When you create an image, the whole concept is to take everything. If you don't want that, you are making a plain file backup.-Shades (August 01, 2015, 08:29 AM)

I'm finding that pdf docs created in Chrome using either Microsoft to pdf OR Bullzip, now only create images of the page... ie: not searchable pdf docs nor can you hihlite text.
Spoke to the author of Bullzip and he basically confirmed that's where it's going with pdf software.
Solution is to buy a commercial copy of Adobe pdf OR use Microsoft Edge, which produces searchable text docs but has other issues!-higrader (April 19, 2016, 07:34 PM)
it looks like they removed the 'Email' link from the left-hand toolbar. I wonder if they're abandoning the browser+email approach that made Opera unique, or if they figure most email is browser-based anyway, so...-Edvard (April 09, 2016, 03:30 PM)
Vivaldi Technologies has big plans for the browser. Jon von Tetzchner had this to say about the future of the browser.[my emphasis]
"Moving forward we will continue to focus on end user requests. As part of that we will be providing a full mail client. Advanced Internet users continue to use many mail accounts and we feel that there is a significant hole in the market there. But generally we will continue to improve and innovate, based on end user demand and requirements."
Why on earth do we not have a single screenshot of Tom / tomos crossing any of the big borders?
Not 9999 or 10,000 or 10001. What went wrong?! Please, someone!-Curt (April 13, 2016, 01:20 AM)
Hmm. Interesting. Is it just me, or do the colours look brighter/richer on the grey background screenshot clip, and a bit washed-out on the normal blue background?
I've changed my screen background back to grey, and it still seems to me as though the grey screenshot has richer colours.
I produced the clips in exactly the same way - OneNote screen clipper to capture the image into CHS, then ScreenshotCaptor to apply a frame and shadow.-IainB (March 28, 2016, 08:12 PM)

Looks interesting, going to have to keep an eye on that.
I think it is hard to compete with Photoshop because it is such a kitchen sink.-Jibz (March 19, 2016, 08:58 AM)
There is that, but I think it's simpler in scope, and harder to beat: They are the known name in the field. Just like "you can't go wrong with Microsoft" was the mantra for a while, "you're not a real artist if you're not using Photoshop" is a real thing.-wraith808 (March 19, 2016, 12:55 PM)

As a rough comparison, my Photoshop install typically takes between 45 seconds to 2 minutes to boot up and start running. Affinity Photo takes between 10-20 seconds.

Where Affinity really shines is its speed and price. It is definitely affordable, and its performance is spectacular. It is fast, well organized and has almost everything that most image editors might require on a daily basis. It has all of the brushes you need to get the job done, with a lot of customization features.
Overall, Affinity Photo is a fabulous program that really does rival the best professional and enthusiast-level image-editing packages on the market. It easily takes the lead over previous Serif programs that we've seen for PC, and is a worthy winner of Apple's 'Mac App of the Year' award, 2015.http://www.techradar...photo-1295010/review
