Font Replacement List
PDF and PSD files can contain formatted text. If a font, that is
not installed on the computer, is used in this text, PhotoLine is
asking for a replacement font. Each font replacement is stored
internally, so that PhotoLine doesn't have to ask once more for
the same font.
With Font Replacement the current replacement list can be viewed
and edited..
The Font Replacement List is in the options dialog under the topic
Extended.
Mac OS X: Context Help

Miscellaneous
Morph Marked Vector Layers
Morph Marked Vector Layers is used to create transitional steps
for 2 marked vector layers. The number of steps is adjustable:
Aside from the shape the following properties are blended, too:
- the fill and the line color
- the line width
- the layer intensity
Morph Marked Vector Layers is a dynamic effect. This means, that
the marked layers are not modified and can be edited afterwards
like before. The transitional steps are recalculated automatically
after each modification. The number of steps can be edited
afterwards, too.
Morph Marked Vector Layers is in the menu at Layout/Vector.
QR-Code
PhotoLine's built-in barcode function can now create QR Codes.
The barcode function is in the menu at Layout.
Fit in Vector Layer
Fit in Vector Layer will create a new rectangular vector layer
having the size and position of the active layer. The fill color
will be the foreground color and the line color will be
transparent.
This function is useful for various tasks, for example:
- For lossless image processing you can assign an adjustment to
the vector layer making it an adjustment layer.
- You can use the rectangle for coloring the background of a
text layer.
Fit in Vector Layer is in the menu at Layout/Vector.
Ghostscript Import
PhotoLine can only read simple EPS files, Postscript files are
not supported.
In order to enhance its import capabilities PhotoLine can utilize
Ghostscript.
On Windows you have to copy the Ghostscript DLL into PhotoLine's
Hlp directory. The 32-bit version of the DLL must be named
gsdll32.dll and the 64-bit version gsdll64.dll.
On Mac OS X you have to copy Ghostscript.framework to
/Library/Frameworks.
Mac OS X: Scanning With Image Capture
Until now on Mac OS X PhotoLine could only scan using the TWAIN
interface. As most scanners don't have a 64-bit TWAIN driver,
PhotoLine had to be started as 32-bit application for scanning.
But now PhotoLine can use the Image Capture interface for scanning
with Mac OS X 10.6 or better allowing scanning in 64-bit.
The function is in the menu at File/Import.
