| Picture Window Pro 8.0.491 Mar 30, 2025 |
Color Picker: fixed issues with entering RGB values manually in some cases not updating. Drop Shadow Transformation: fixed problem with shadow mask not being recalculated after loading a settings file. Updated to ExifTool 13.25. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.490 Mar 22, 2025 | Crop: added the ability to store up to four custom proportions and recall them via a drop-down menu. See the help file for details |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.489 Mar 19, 2025 |
Level: switching between horizontal and vertical now preserves the angle setting. Batch: aborting a batch process now leaves the current file in the file list set to the last image successfully processed. Fixed problem causing crash when adjusting the separator between the image browser and the main image area in certain cases. Holding the Alt key down while switching between an input image and an auxiliary input image for the same transformation now preserves the zoom and scroll information. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.488 Mar 13, 2025 |
Palette Tool: if Display Palette in Main Image Area is checked, the on-screen palette now allows extra space for scroll bars. Export: Added two new options to the Folder setting – Original Subfolder and Ask. Original Subfolder lets you specify the export folder as a subfolder of the original folder. If you select Ask, Picture Window asks you for a folder to export to at the beginning of a batch process (or every time if not in a batch process). See the updated help file or Transformations.pdf for more details. The File Overwrite dialog box that warns you when you are about to save over an existing file can now be resized horizontally to accommodate wider pathnames. Batch: you can now run a batch job on a single file. |

Equalize transformation: dialog box can now be resized vertically as well as horizontally. Primaries transformation: added a Dynamic Range slider so you can prevent clipping. Multipass Sharpen: added a Dynamic Range slider so you can prevent clipping. Also optimized resizing the dialog box so the preview does not recompute until you finish resizing. When reloading scripts saved without image names, you no longer get a warning about missing files when opening the script. In transformation dialog boxes that have a vertical separator bar (Advanced Sharpen, Color Balance, Denoise, Frame, Gaussian Blur, High Pass, Layout, Linear Blur, Multipass Sharpen, Precise Gaussian Blur, Unsharp Mask, Watercolor), there is now a diamond in the center of the separator bar you can use to drag it, similar to the vertical separator between the image browser and the main image area. This avoids problems adjusting controls near the separator bar. Fixed problems with dynamic range sliders being truncated vertically in some cases. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.484 Feb 16, 2025 | Crop transformation: fixed problems with mask overlays. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.483 Feb 15, 2025 |
Tint transformation: added a Reference Image setting. If you specify a color reference image, it is used to define the color line by setting its color at each of 17 brightness levels to the average color of the pixels of that brightness in the reference image. See the help file or Transformations.pdf for an example of how you can use this to transfer some of the feel of the reference image to the input image. Crop transformation: add an optional overlay on the input image that highlights the area outsideof the cropping rectangle. You can adjust the transparency and color of the overlay, similar to mask overlays. If you don’t want an overlay, set the transparency to it will work as before. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.481 Feb 9, 2025 |
Mask: fixed problems with undoing flood fill operations in some cases. Curves: added threshold options to the settings menu. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.480 Feb 7, 2025 |
Image Browser: double clicking on a mask ½ size thumbnail now opens the transformation (if necessary) and then opens the corresponding mask. Show Dependencies: mask dependencies now include the mask name following the transformation caption. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.476 Jan 17, 2025 |
Image Info: GPS metadata is now accessed using ExifTool which can locate the information even if it is not in the normal EXIF metadata. The display format has been changed to decimal degrees and altitude is now always in meters. Mask: fixed some issues with Mask Undo. |
