4.0.1 patch now available

With any effect applied (even Enhance) on a photo, resize the photo to a smaller size, then clip the photo with a shape. (it's a pretty straightforward sileutte-cutting process)

The clipped result seems like that the photo wasn't resized before clipping.

Can't repeat this at all.
With the exception of the Red-Eye adjustment, the built-in photo tools are separate to the old XPE (I'm thinking you know this anyway).

Here's what I tried, is this what you mean?.

1. Import photo
2. Press the Photo Tools icon (P) and then the 'Enhance' button on the info bar.
3. Resize the photo (I made mine one quarter the original size)
4. Draw a shape over the photo
5. Send shape to back
6. Select all and press 'Q' to clip it

My results, using any effect are that the photo is still the same 'resized' size, not the original size..

My bad. I mean after applying the first effect "enhance" from the "live effect tool" directly, not XPE, not the "photo tool" either.

Ah OK. Yes this does use the old XPE quad tool 'enhance' dialog.
Basically don't, the same tools are on the info bar of the (P)hoto tools

However, I still cannot repeat your noted error - sorry.

That still shouldn't have affected to clip and resize ..... !

EDIT: posted at the same time as Sledger - Didn't realise that the same filter was used in the plug-ins - Maybe that does account for it.

I don't know...the bug is repeatable here everytime. But indeed if I use "enhance" from "photo tool" then the clipping works fine as one would have expected.

[steve.ledger]

If we are to read between the lines, the indications are that XPE will be given the flick for any new versions of Xtreme.

I've just tested it again. The bug happens with any plugin effect applied, even the 3rd party ones. Since you guys can't reproduce it, there must be something else at play here but I don't know what that is.

Anywho, now I create a bitmap copy first before clipping as a workaround.

As per this thread, I hope another update is in the works.
