Bonjour Jean Paul,
  
It would be very lovely, if your program could open PDF files.

Hi there! Great program and I'd ask if in Transforms may be added feature for (seamless) pattern creation?

Hello John Paul,
  
I also have a wish: How about, if the measuring tool would also have the option of showing mm oder cm, instead of only pixels?
I, for one, would find that very useful.
  
Best regards

Another thought that would make photographers happy... Automated (scripted) watermark and/or copyright text that's also capable in batch. So if you have 60 photos you select where you want your watermark/text (bottom left/right etc) and the system will process it in batch for each photo that's open in Chasys.

Hi, I LOVE chasys draw! It's my favorite program to use and I'm really impressed with all the features. There may be an option for symmetry already but if so I can't locate it. I have an application on my kindle that allows you to draw anything around a horizontal or vertical symmetrical line and reproduces it. I'd love to see that on chasys. Thank you for a great program!

Hey, I just downloaded the new version and it seems the program has improved loads since the last time I used it.
Some versions before, there were many things not working (at least on my computer - XP, 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM - as mentioned in another comment below).
But the latest version seems to work very nicely for me. It now has a status, that I will proably make Chasys Draw my default drawing software.  
Nice work!
  
Just two things: I still can´t fill spaces in my picture with colour (I will send you an email with the image I used) and I´d like to know:
Is there a way, that I can make a text field larger? Because I entered some text into the "Composition for print" -> "Enter text here"-field and the text was so long that it exceeded the field space.
I tried to figure out how to change the size of the text field according to the text length, but failed.
  
And a wish: Could you maybe put some tooltips into the text-editing window? That would be a great help.
  
Kind regards  
Hannah Czerny

Hi Paul!
  
I have encountered some litte errors while updating the german language file for version 4.32.01. Thank you very much for your really good work with Chasys Draw IES!
  
Here are my findings:
  
Main Workspace:
   - Tool Box on the right where it says "width" and "level": Click then drag, use mouse-wheel; and Click then drag, use mouse-wheel, -> When you mouse over the texts have ; and ,
  
Menu:
   - Image -> Properties... won't translate into german
   - Auto Update Failed (when there is no internet connection) -> won't translate into german (Translations are already in new German language file)
  
All the best,

chasys_draw_ies_4_31_02 behaves strange when I want to save my work.
  
It asks me instead, whether I want to restore saved images.
Independent from yes or no DrawIes crashes afterwards. No work is saved.
  
As a consequence I have reinstalled chasys_draw_ies_4_30_01 on my 64bit Win7 system, this works as normal.
  
Could it be that chasys_draw_ies_4_31_02 does not allow any more the 8BF plugins to be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)? To where do I have to put those plugins in future?
  
Thank you for taking care on DrawIes.

Unfortunately, the Chasys Draw program is totally not working on my computer (XP, 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM).
  
I tried to crop a picture acoording to my selection, but nothing happened.
And I tried to select pixels via magic wand and delete them, but when I selected the delete command from the menu, also nothing happened. Fillig the space with white colour via paint bucket didn´t work either..
  
And when I press "save", instead of just saving under the same name and location, a dialog box appears, where I have to choose a location.
  
Can anyone help me?

I found twice a week the following nonreproducible Error in the event-log: Event ID 59 SideBySide
Error in manifest or policy file "c:\program files (x86)\john paul chacha's lab\chasys draw

Occures since chasys_draw_ies_4_29_01 and still with chasys_draw_ies_4_30_01  
on my 64bit Win7 System, however Draw-IES always works fine, may be i am not using flt_ABR.dll.
  
No such errors with any other program. Thanks for your Chasys Draw IES.

For resampling I am always using Advanced resampling in combination with 5-Windows Sinc (Best)   and 9-Lancos Window.  
DrawIES only remembers "Advanced Resampling". Would make sense to me that DrawIES remembers the complete parameter combination. Thank you so much.

The only issue I have with your outstanding product(which I use all the time), is it automatically opens with drawing tool tips and complex pointer turned on.   Im forced to turn them off every time.   Saving my settings from my last use would be nice. Thanks for a great app!

The liquify effect is only somewhat what I was asking for, though it could be easily expanded to a very useful tool and not just an effect. The liquify effect is a warping tool, but it is not precise.  
  
With the ability to grab and drag grid points to control the warping effect, I can level objects within layers in relation to each other, specially shape images such as text, or provide realistic spatial effects in image editing or combining. These powerful effects are almost impossible using a brush, or even region type point systems.  
  
For example, say I wish to add text to a photo with a flat top and a perfectly curved bottom. I can use the circle text function to create the arc, but it may be too circular for my needs, and controlling the warp of the top to flatten the text has to be extremely precise to prevent the text from looking amateur and cartoonish. With the grid, I would use snap to grid and drag the corresponding points straight up until all of the letters were on a flat plain. I could then turn off the snap to grid feature and carefully adjust the bottom grid points to get the exact curve necessary.
  
I think too many people underestimate the usefulness and power of the warp tool and tend to think of it as more of a toy, when it is actually a powerful drawing and editing tool for someone that knows how to use it. I thought of trying to make such a warping tool as an 8bf plugin. However, a person needs to see more than the affected layer when applying the warp, in most cases, to get the desired effect right, so sending the handle to a single layer would be ineffective.
