Plumb-Bob for Pc

I had problems figuring out how this works and sent a message to the developer. I never expected a response and thought I had thrown away my money. Much to my surprise, I received a prompt email reply. They followed up with me until I got the results that I wanted on my project! I highly recommend this app and appreciate all of the customer service that it offered.

This app is so handy. I love it. You don’t know how much you needed it this till you use it.

I have scans of a number of charts that I need to align very closely. The scans aren't perfectly straight, and aren't even perfectly rectangular. Plumb-Bob is doing a very good job of helping me align them. There are some UI quirks (it wasn't at all clear to me initially that there were separate Work and Result views, so I initially had trouble figuring out how to correct an adjustment without closing the document and starting over). And I had to do a bit of experimentation (the Y axis adjustment values didn't go with the pins that I expected). But once I got that figured out, it started progressing pretty quickly, and I've been quite happy with the results. In addition to the UI changes, I do wish the pins didn't reset every time I opened a new document: since I'm processing a series of related charts, the pins would be close to the correct position and I would just have to tweak them. It would also be great if the app had some kind of "auto-position" feature — in my case, the charts all have a nice border around them that provides nice, predictable positions for placing the pins (but I realize that kind of detection is rather challenging). Also, I'm not able to do my cropping inside this app because there doesn't seem to be any way to scroll in the result view, so I can't adjust the crop rectangle while zoomed in enough to be precise. Overall I'm quite happy, and I hope the app continues to improve. (I have not tried the lens correction, image adjustment, or scale features as I don't need them for this work.)
