setting size prune bezier edit

I'm wanting to eliminate smaller paths generated from an image in SA 3.5.2 and haven't found where that size can be set in Bezier Edit. The User Manual mentions this adjustment in ImgOps Watershed Regionize, Line Screen Regionize, and Flat Region Colorize but, other than a reference to a 'default' size (?) nothing in Bezier Edit. Is there such an option [in SA 3.5.2]? Iv

I've attached a pic to illustrate

  • In version 4 you have SizePrune, SizePrune1, and SizePrune2 menu commands that remove progressively larger small paths. In 3.5 i believe there was just one SizePrune menu. None of those are user adjustable. but you have more flexibility in version 4.

    If you are using the paint synthesizer to paint them in, you could work with the minimum path size setting to filter out small paths. You can adjust that.

    • That approach using the minimum path size setting might work as I am using the paint synthesizer to paint them in. Sorry to have to ask, where should I find that?

      • Path Shape control panel in the paint synthesizer.

        • I'm assuming that dragging the path length slider at the low end, from the left to the right, is what you mean. I'd adjusted that end in other panels before (brush size range for instance in the brush source panel)but it never occurred to me that was why the path length slider had that available. Thanks. By the way, what is the default size of size prune in SA 3.5.2, do you recall?

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

Teenage Tongue Cult

Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…
