if anyone has it can you tell me if crop rotate has been added yet..the ability to slightly rotate a crop .... its the only thing missing for pitchside work IMHO but dont want to pay for upgrade to find out.. much easier asking in here :)

my version aint that old but too old to update for free it seems... its does everything i would want pitchside bar the rotate :( love the iptc stuff :)
 
I thought you used fastStone?

EDIT: sorry different software. :bang:
 
doesn't look like it. i usually caption and IPTC then open the full size file in PSE to straighten, then crop in PM

no there simmilar software..well ..i would ahve used for same task anyway... faststone then photoshop.. or photomechanic then photoshop just photomechanic does some extra stuff and if it had crop rotate i reckon i could do the lot in PM and not have to load PS
 
its the one feature missing from PM that would make it even better

Thats sad then... if they just added the crop rotate then we could do everyhting in the one program wouldnt you agree?

back to plan other :)
 
I take it you want to straighten a pic and not rotate it 90 deg?

correct.. photomechanic has 90/180 etc

but its hard to get horizons straight when shooting footy but papers prefer them straight so its an important thing and the difference between using one software and two in a workflow that needs to be quick :(

I ingest into PM, caption, then drag into Photoshop where I make any adjustments and save in a separate folder.

The only thing that slows down the process from doing it all in PM is the loading time of an image in Photoshop.. which is near enough negligible!

:agree: PM makes life so much easier, just needs the straighten/rotate tool to make it 10/10
 
yes i realise with photoshop already open i can choose files i want to keep in PM then click edit.. save from PS and back in PM do the captions..

I love the ipct.. any tips?

i was thinking a txt file with team A numbers, names and another with team B thus building up a library.. take the info from official websites then just double check and ammend when you get the teamsheet.. sound right?

however one ikle problem... when i use a code .. say \1\ to get the keepers name up.. it has a return on the end and goes to next line.. any quick fix?
 
not sure but i can send you the upto date Championship file if ya want?
