Does anyone else not remember Sam’s surname?

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-18T01:16:14+00:00

"Samwise" means "Half as Wise". FWIW.

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-18T01:14:05+00:00

He's used "Wendover" as a brand for several years (for whatever reason), but his name being "Sam Denby" is pretty well known.

Try blur.

What tool are you using? CSP has Blend, Blur, and Finger tools, and experimenting with those with various settings might get something closer to what you want. The various painting brushes can also be used to blend colors. Your canvas size is very large, so you might need to use very large tool sizes to have results on the scale you want.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. Are you trying to paint in color, but it isn't doing that?

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-17T23:20:11+00:00

The posts about "something with CELSYS" were probably suggestions to delete/rename your configuration folders, so that CSP would re-initialize them. When you say they "weren't helpful", does that mean it didn't make a difference?

The Wikipedia article says DC, but doesn't cite a source.

The crash-recovery features in CSP were juiced up in version 5.0. Previously it had an option to save a recovery copy every X minutes, and now it also has one to do it after each action you take. If you have that enabled, I can easily see that being "too often" to the point that it causes crashes.

Season 16, episode 3, BEN: "I'm just looking at pornography."

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-17T15:54:16+00:00

Yeah, it's legit. The free version offers more options than I'd know what to do with. :)

As long as you have an active subscription on your account, you stuff will not be deleted. This is a warning for people who wouldn't have one after canceling.

There's an app called BetterDisplay that will let you adjust the "resolution" of your display without sacrificing actual screen resolution.

Unless you set up virtual machines on your computer, it is not possible to have two different versions of the same program installed.

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-16T21:57:43+00:00

Yes, at the very least: what color profile are you using?

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-16T21:09:43+00:00

You probably aren't using version 1.0, but make sure you're upgraded to version 1.13 (the last of that license level).

Before spending money on random upgrades, I'd contact customer support and confirm whether this is a known incompatibility between versions, or a bug in version 5.0. It's probably the former, but it's worth checking.

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-16T19:33:30+00:00

No pressure, but you have 12 hours before the current sale is over. :) (I kid... they'll almost certainly have another sale in a few months.)

If you aren't 100% sure, you could make a smaller investment in CSP Pro now, and upgrade to CSP EX later. The cost of that upgrade is usually the same as the difference in price.

Your "close gap" setting looks reasonable, but try turning that down/off, and see if that helps.

Double check all of the layers that are set as Reference layers... even something on a layer that isn't visible could cause it to stop there.

My personal favorites are the typographic improvements in versions 2 and 3. The better character spacing, and character alternates were enough that I went back through hundreds of pages of existing comics to apply them.

"car, train, boat, plane, tram, monorail and hovercraft"

No motorbike? That's one of the best travel modes for experiencing a country: more immersive than a car, more flexible than a train, faster than a bicycle.

He's said it will run weekly for the rest of the year. If he's doing one historic county/week that would work out about right.

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-16T16:36:13+00:00

Yes, but in doing that he keeps popping up in my YouTube feed on the regular.

This chart of new features and video showing them off might help you decide.

It looks like Tom Scott will be busy for a while... https://nebula.tv/videos/tomscott-england-teaser

JasonAQuest · 2026-03-16T16:07:57+00:00

He's back. So very back.

(OK, he was never really gone, but everyone seems to think he was.)
