Overview<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Features<\/strong>
\u2022New AI mode: \u201cArt\u201d. Best for CGI imagery, scanned in prints of paintings and drawings, and graphic design imagery. Also works best for images that have a lot of color shifting.
\u2022New control: \u201cReduce Color Bleed\u201d. Turn this feature on if you notice a lot of color shifting \/ color bleeding

Improvements<\/strong>
\u2022File list interface has been completely overhauled. Icons and text should no longer overlap at smaller resolutions.
\u2022Processing interface has been overhauled. A panel on the right now shows up when saving images telling you the overall progress, and sticks around after processing to let you know that all your files have been processed.
\u2022Tutorial interface has been redone. Markers now show directly on the various buttons, and should no longer misalign.
\u2022Tooltip styling now fits with the rest of the program
\u2022A message now displays when scaling above 600%, to let users know that quality preservation cannot be kept above that percentage. You can turn this dialog off completely after the first time it shows.
\u2022When in external editor mode, the \u201cSave images\u201d button has been changed to an \u201cApply\u201d and \u201cCancel\u201d button.

Bug fixes<\/strong>
\u2022Multiple crash fixes. Program should no longer crash upon first launch for the majority of users that this was happening to.
\u2022Crop should now correctly display the entire image, and not just a small section of the image
\u2022When exiting crop mode, the application will remember whether you had auto-update preview on or off, and which view mode you were using
\u2022You should no longer have to hit \u201cSave\u201d twice after cancelling the preview when you\u2019re ready to save your images.
\u2022Photoshop plugin should now show up under File -> Automate on new installs of the program
\u2022The first file in a batch should no longer appear to double-process
Known Issues
\u2022When scaling images to 32,000 x 32,000, the preview scale doesn\u2019t get correctly set when switching images. This won\u2019t affect final output of the image.
\u2022If the Photoshop plugin won\u2019t launch on a specific image, you\u2019ll need to assign a color profile to it first in Photoshop (Edit -> Assign Profile).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
