The preview image is now processed by multiple threads (one for each available CPU core), I expect some significant improvement on multi-core machines.The EXIF data is handled through the GEXIV2 library (the same used by GIMP), therefore GExiv2 is needed from now on to compile PhotoFlow.

EXIF data is now copied from input images to the exported TIFF and Jpeg files.This version brings a few nice new features and includes several improvements suggested here and there. I'm pleased to announce that a new version of PhotoFlow has just been released on GitHub. grouped mask-related tools in a new 'mask' tab.updated G'MIC to the 1.6.5.2_pre version.This new release includes some additional changes/improvements: The 'editing flag' toggle button serves exactly this purpose: it defines which tool takes exclusive control of the mouse interactions in the preview area. However, only one tool at a time can eventually interact with the preview area, otherwise it would be a complete anarchy. For example, control points can be added into a curves adjustment by control-clicking in the preview area, or the area selected by the crop tool can be adjusted by dragging the sides of a corresponding highlighted rectangle rendered on top of the preview image. In PhotoFlow, several tools can be controlled via mouse interactions in the preview area. The 'editing' flag probably deserves some additional clarifications. The rest of the controls are basically equivalent to the ones available in the previous tools dialogs. Only one tool at a time will be set in 'editing' mode. When enabled, mouse interactions in the preview area are allowed for the corresponding tool. Only one tool at a time will be set in 'sticky' mode. When enabled, the preview area will always show the output of the corresponding layer, otherwise the composite output will be shown. Useful to quickly preview the effect of a mask by toggling it on and off. When disabled, any grayscale layer mask associated to the layer is completely ignored. Both can be used simultaneously.Įnable/disable the layer masks. This button has the same effect as the corresponding check box in the layers list. The common header includes the basic layer parameters (name, blend mode, opacity and intensity), plus a number of small buttons:Ĭlose the controls (it does no remove/delete the corresponding layer).
