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. |

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. |

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. |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.473 Dec 24, 2024 | Raw Develop: fixed issues with not recognizing certain camera bodies which were identified by both make and model |
| Picture Window Pro 8.0.470 Dec 16, 2024 |
Mask: fixed issues with certain settings (e.g. Mask Paint tool) not being restored correctly after an undo. Print command and transformation: fixed problems with auto orientation in some cases when the cropping rectangle did not cover the entire image. Added two more scale options: scale to custom width and scale to custom height. These options fix the width or height and adjust the other dimension according to the proportions of the cropping rectangle. Note that width and height refer to the (possibly) rotated image on the page. Changed the icon in the image browser for copying selected transformations to make it different from the copy to clipboard icon at the top of the screen. A full install is required to get the new bitmap. The yellow check marks indicating transformations are selected are now cleared when you select anything (either command or transformation) from the main menu (or click a button that indirectly activates an item in the main menu). Hopefully this will reduce the annoyance of forgetting transformations are selected when trying to make a new selection. Favorites: added a Settings Menu to let you keep the window open after selecting a transformation. Also, the position of the window is now preserved across sessions. |

Raw Develop transformation: Reworked the way lens profiles work. Picture Window now includes a copy of the LensFun database which provides information about many different lenses and camera bodies. Using this open source database you can apply distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration corrections to raw files. While not definitive, the database is updated from time to time with new cameras and lenses. The command to create lens profiles has been removed from the File menu and old lens profiles are no longer supported. Before using the Raw Develop transformation, it is recommended that you delete the prior contents of your Lens Profiles folder, normally located at the following location: DocumentsPicture Window ProLens Profiles. Selective Color Correction: adjusted the controls to reduce the minimum dialog box size. Image Browser: there are now 2 buttons for show/hide thumbnails. If no images are selected, they show or hide all thumbnails. If any images are selected, only the selected ones are affected. This lets you show or hide individual thumbnails. |
