About image with sharpen and auto contrast

Post by Damien Sainmont »

Hi,

I use your software a lot. And I love the new filters "sharpen" and "auto contrast".
I have a simple question / need:
Is there a solution to save the full image file after applying these two filters?
my purpose is to print these images to have in a book: on the left the image and on the left the transcript.
Of course I have the full version of Transcript.

Best regards.

Damien

Hello Damien,

I'm sorry but at the moment it is not possible to save images with the changes/filters.

What you can do is select the part of the image you want (use the mouse image selection mode added in version 2.3.0) and copy that selection to the clipboard. Then paste that selection in your image manipulation program of choice and save to file.
Even better, use that image manipulation program to make changes to your image because such programs have far more choices on how to change the image than Transcript has. There are many good free programs to do that, e.g. Gimp, or for viewing and simple manipulations IrfanView.

Maybe I will add the possibility to save images in version 3 of Transcript but there's already a long list of things to add and I have almost no time to work on it so no promises.

I am sorry Damien but at the moment I just lack the time to work on Transcript.
Besides that I had to install Windows 7 because of a broken motherboard and I haven't even installed my programming environment Delphi again and I'm not even sure my old version will run there.
My intention is to try to install it one of the next weeks but it's not likely that I will be able to do any programming requiring a lot of work anytime soon.

Hi Jacob,

As I use Transcript every day, I'm worried about its future.
Do you plan to continue the support and development of it?
best regards and "joyeux noel".

Transcript will always be supported as long as I'm able to. I recently installed my old Delphi on my new system and it works.
This means I can do bugfixes and possibly some small improvements.
However for larger changes like the ones I planned for version 3 I still have not enough time to start on that.

Happy new year to you and all other Transcript users too.

Alas still nothing new (except for the beta January last year). Maybe I should release a new stable version but it would be almost the same as the last beta.
There still is hardly any time left to work on Transcript, I'm sorry. However the current version does not have any serious problems that I know of.

After some more thought I decided to invest a little of my spare time to do some small improvements and after that release a new stable version 2.4.
That way people that have trouble installing a beta version or don't want to install a beta will have a more up to date version too.
As a first step I released a new beta version today.
