Update Available - Version 8.0.267

Post by jsachs »

An update is available to Version 8.0.267 (10-Jan-2022)

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Added new Mobius transformation – a little like Color Balance but more subtle and with more control. Please see the new help file or Transformations.pdf for details. A full install is required to pick up one new bitmap.

Some TIFF files created with very early versions of PWP cannot be read using WIC which is what PWP 8 uses to read them. As a fallback, if WIC fails to open a TIFF file, an attempt is now made to read it using legacy code from earlier PWP versions.

As a side note, it appears that the latest Microsoft TIFF codec now supports reading and writing TIFF files wider than 32,768 pixels. This situation comes up sometimes when creating panoramas by stitching together several high resolution images.
