TOTAL 2013 – August 27, 2013

This update contains changes to the Image Optimizer tool as well as overall improvements to performance.

In particular, you’ll notice two new Image Optimizer features:

  1. Blur tool. This allows you to "blur out" photo elements in seconds. It’s been a popular request as lenders ask you to omit items like family photos, religious artifacts, people, yard signs, etc.
  2. Shape tool. This extends the abilities of the highlight option. Use it to draw shapes on your images faster and more accurately with the new ellipse and rectangle modes. And you can highlight areas on your images, too.

Along with the changes below, some other noteworthy items in this update include (See the full release notes here):

  • Changing data in the Side-by-Side PowerView no longer causes USPS verification to be reset.
  • The concessions field for a comparable will no longer trigger an error in the E&O PowerView.
  • Photo descriptions added from QuickPix will be transferred when placing photos in a form.
  • "(Page – 1)" won’t be added to the sketch page title when the sketch only contains one page.

Thanks again for giving us your thoughts via the Feedback feature inside TOTAL. Several of these changes came directly from the Feedback option, which obviously is the whole point. We read them every day and we can track them much better than standard e-mails. Please keep them coming and we’ll keep making TOTAL better.

That’s all for now, but expect another update very soon.
