epc behaving strangely

Bambino wrote on 1/3/2014, 12:24 PM

I have put a solid colour over a picture, and above that inserted some text. I have often successfully used EPC on the colour to create a thin strip of colour on the bottom of the picture on which I can display the text

Something seems to have gone wrong with my settings. Although I ensure that Lock Aspect Ratio and Size about Centre are off and Maintain Aspect Ratio and Stretch to Fit Frame are off, when I attempt to drag down the colour overlay, the picture below is not revealed.and the solid colour remains. Weird! Can anyone help, please?

You couldn't wait six days to post this on the anniversary of your previous post?

In the EPC window, expand Source and choose No for both entries.

MSmart,

Wow...excellent use of the 'search' function!

That's right.

Pay attention boys and girls.

If you read my post more carefully, you would see that I have already done exactly what you advise, but to no avail. I have been using epc successfully since receiving help from this forum nearly a year ago (as you astutely spotted)! Why I should now have a problem is a mystery to me.

Sorry, I guess I got lost in the ANDS.

Maybe you could post a screen capture showing the timeline and pan/crop window. Maybe that will show/tell us something.
