What's new in Photo-brush 5?
+ Unified interface using Dark Blue theme. This enables many new controls like dials, sliders with scroll wheel, graphs
+ White Balance now work with 3 different settings - Histogram Shift, Kelvin Compensation and Gray Point
+ Equalizers are renamed to Hue, Saturation and Luma and use smooth spline graphs
+ New Chromatic Aberration correction - uses different approach with channel shifts
+ Brightness and Contrast can use Lightness Graph
+ Hue Saturation can use Hue Graph
+ Liquid Warp now works inside the image window
+ New Browser - supports fast JPG as well as RAW preview.
+ Polar to Rectangular and back transformation (Polar Coordinates) with Blend Edges feature
+ Little Planet feature
+ Fractal Droste effect feature
+ JPG save can now copy EXIF data from original and create updated JPG thumbnail
What's new in Photo-brush 4.3?
ADDITIONS:
+ Completely overhauled Exif reading/writing using the Phil Harvye's Exiftool. It's now possible to read complete Exif information from all supported RAW files and store them in JPEG. Additionally, the image thumbnail is now correctly updated. The Exif reading/writing is dependent on Exiftol(distributed with PB). If not found, the old Exif reading is used. In this case, Exif data will not be read from RAW. Just don't delete Exiftool form PB root directory. Eventually, you can update the Exiftool manually by downloading the latest version from here (the Windows version).
+ Resorted and reorganized Camera info with all usual Exif items.
+ Added new function for image comparison.
+ Updated RAW reading with added support for various new cameras (from PB 4.2):
FIXES:
- Fixed Camera info panel refresh after closing actual photo with Exif.
- Fixed some problems in original Exif reading.
- Fixed freeze when reading the image saved using the Adobe PS (saved with Exif).
What's new in Photo-brush 4.2?
ADDITIONS:
+ Implemented Masks
+ New version of RAW reading library (added Olympus E510 and Pentax Optio 750Z)
+ New Gaussian Blur algorithm
FIXES:
- PS compatible plugins menu is now rebuild immediately after loading new plugs.
- Fixed problem with Alpha channel after pasting an image created with Print Screen.
- Some small internal fixes and UI polishing.
