Offcut Preview: Visualizing the Offcuts and Skeletons

You can hover your mouse over the cropping summary at the top of the Processing editor to get a quick preview of what offcuts are to be produced.  After editing a crop Primecut will also automatically flash up the offcut preview for 1 second.

 

Skeletons are displayed in gray, and offcuts are shown in bright colors.  Drops are NOT shown as these are generated as the plate is scheduled.

 

A simple example:
