Light Crafts has released LightZone 2.0.6 for Windows and Mac, an update to its Zone System-based image editing and RAW conversion software that improves the crop tool and fixes several bugs. The release notes list the following changes:
|
New features
- The Crop Tool now allows user-specified, constrained aspect ratios.
Fixes (all platforms)
- Fixed a crash when navigating some folders.
- Fixed the White Balance tool for photos taken under fluorescent light.
- In some cases, better preview images are now generated.
- Fixed a bug where the browser would sometimes not show a thumbnail for a photo if it was the only photo in its folder.
- Saving your work as a multipage TIFF image now correctly includes the tool stack as part of the metadata.
- Fix a bug where deleting a selected region using either the backspace or delete keys would also delete all regions linked to the selected region.
- LightZone can now correctly open and export to JPEG images having color profiles that are greater than 64K in size.
- Fixed incorrect values shown for photometric interpretation metadata for TIFF and DNG images.
- IPTC metadata is now correctly exported to JPEG images.
Fixes (Mac OS X only)
- Bundles (e.g., applications, Aperture's library, etc.) no longer show up in the folder navigator.
- If you have many color profiles installed on your computer, displaying either the save or export dialog boxes was slow. This has been fixed.
- The interface for the Noise Reduction tool has been simplified.
