What's New?

What's new in Photo-brush 4.1? (key points)

ADDITIONS:

+ Implemented wide range of selection tools. This is probably most awaited feature addition in Photo-Brush (apart the Layers, which are next on the list ;)

+ Implemented completely new RAW reading library with added support for most (if not all) digital cameras with RAW writing.

+ Significantly improved speed of creating selection floater, even on huge (8MPix +) images.

+ Updated image processing library.

+ Added support for auto rotation of images with "rotation" flag in EXIF (usually from cameras with orientation sensor).

+ Added "Preserve EXIF" option into the "JPEG Output" dialog.

+ Added <ESC> shortcut for releasing focus from tool panes.

+ Added <ESC> shortcut for quick deactivating the selection/crop area (without conversion to floater).

+ Added <Ctrl>+<PgUp> and <Ctrl>+<PgDn> in Action pane (for switching pane tabs).

+ Added MEF (Mamiya ZD) and ARW (Sony Alpha) file extensions into the list of supported formats.

+ Added Interface and Pane themes.
