Digital Light & Color

An update is available to Version 8.0.272 (9-Feb-2022)

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Color Curves Transformation: when used with a mask, converted to dual amount control and separate set of curves and other settings for masked and unmasked areas, similar to Brightness Curve.

Updated to lcms 2.13.1 color management engine.

Color Balance: the factory defaults for Dynamic Range and White Balance are now Reset and Auto White Balance.

Layout transformation: fixed problem causing crash on startup due to certain recent changes to Amount mask processing.

It seems the mask paint tool broke (in the "Display Input" mode) in this release. To reproduce the problem:

1. Run 8.0.272
2. Add Checkerboard test pattern
3. Open Masks transformation
4. Select New mask option
5. Select "Display Input" button on Masks transformation window
6. Use paint tool along left half of Checkerboard pattern. Notice that the mask is drawn at an incorrect X-coord.

I checked 271 and this issue doesn't seem to be there.

Fixed for next release. This was a side effect of some work I have been doing to add features to mask but it wrongly assumed the screen was always split when making masks.
