Digital Light & Color

I have posted a new release (22-Nov-2018) in full installer and executable-only versions. Minor changes to help file.

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Fixed problem with selecting from image menus by clicking on image browser thumbnails.

Image menus are now sorted in descending order of image number. This places the most recently created images at the top.

Added new File Export command to facilitate saving images for the web or email attachments. It automates selecting the output folder, resizing the image, performing post-resampling sharpening, converting to 8-bit, converting to sRGB, and saving the file. See the help file for details.

Mask: saved mask commands now only record up to the current operation – any operations that were performed and then later undone are now ignored, effectively truncating the undo stack at the current operation. This fixes some bugs in mask when restoring saved mask commands.

Re: File Export

Thanks for adding this function. I notice that when saving a jpeg, the quality slider value does not change from the default 95% regardless of the slider position.

Also, is it possible to add the ability to create a new folder when selecting the save destination? And while I'm asking, is it possible to perform this export function on a group of images, in some form of batch processing?

Thanks.

I fixed the JPEG quality slider for the next release.

The folder selection control I am currently using only lets you select folders that already exist. While it does not have a New Folder button, you can right click on an existing folder and select New/Folder from the properties menu to create a new subfolder.

I am planning a batch command that opens selected images from a folder, sequentially reads each one into the current workspace at a specified location, recalcs the workspace, and outputs the image at a specified location via Export. This will let you batch process a set of images in a folder, optionally applying a series of transformations, and output them to another folder.

Nice and handy features, thanks.

There is only a small hitch. If you expand the list but do not select an image, a click outside the expanded or moving the transformation window aside list do not close the list.

There is no way I know of to make this work without losing the ability to select images from the image browser. I did however add a timeout to close the menu if there are no mouse moves in the image menu for 4 seconds.

One more list item: "Close the list" ?

I made the Esc key close the menu.
