Version 5.0 Update History
24-May-2011 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.11
This update includes the following changes:
19-Feb-2011 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.10
This update includes the following changes:
The raw converter has been updated to handle recently introduced cameras. A new raw file type, .swr,
used by Samsung cameras, has been added to the supported types.
Count Colors (which counts the number of unique colors in an image) has been extended to support
16/48 bit images. Performance has also been improved considerably. However please note that 48 bit images can have
a very large number of unique colors. (48 bits allows expressing over 500 trillion different colors.) Thus in many cases the
growing table of unique colors will exceed available memory before the entire image can be processed. In such cases Count Colors
aborts but returns the number of colors counted up to the point memory was exceeded.
12-Dec-2010 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.9
This update includes the following changes:
The raw converter has been updated to handle recently introduced cameras.
Album now supports inverse monitor curves. Options for printing only odd pages, only even pages or both odd and even
pages have been added to support two-sided printing on regular printers. In addition handling of relative pathnames has
been improved making moving albums and their images to a new folder subtree much easier.
Fixed bug in Mask/FloodFill which occurred when user clicked outside image boundaries.
Fixed bug in MatchRef when correction was specified via a loaded reference file rather than a reference image.
17-Jun-2010 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.8
This update includes the following changes:
25-Jan-2010 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.7
This update includes the following changes:
The raw converter has been updated to handle recently introduced cameras. A new raw file type, .rwl,
used by Leica, has been added to the supported types.
A new Channel Reassign transformation has been added to support false color infrared images.
This transformation allows you to reassign the RGB channels for maximum creative impact. The transformation can be found under
Color/Reassign Channels.
The Conformal Mapping transformation is now resizeable. This allows you to stretch the
sliders for greater selectivity.
A bug in the drop-down lists in the Calendar transformation has been fixed.
A bug in the serial number display in Help/About has been fixed.
26-Oct-2009 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.6
This update includes the following changes:
The raw converter has been updated to handle recently introduced cameras.
New options have been added to the Calendar transformation. A new appointment style lets you make calendars with
room for annotations. A new option allows days of the week to be displayed as abbreviations or fully spelled out. A year can be
added after the month. When the calendar is used in a workflow, it can be set to automatically increment the start
date as each new image is processed. This allows using workflow to create multi-page calendars.
A manual sort option has been added to the workflow thumbnail Options menu. This allows you to
arrange and process images in any order you choose.
Macros used in the Text and Slide Show transformations now show months in the localized language.
Months can also be displayed as fully spelled out in addition to the abbreviated and numeric formats.
A Raw dialog bug which caused the properties tab to not display camera and exif data has been fixed.
Artifacts sometimes seen when Text was applied with drop shadow in 16 bit images has been fixed.
2-Sept-2009 -- Picture Window Version 5.0.1.5

some minor problems reported in these operations have been fixed.
Fixes a problem in workflow wherein double-clicking on a widget failed to display the transformation
dialog.
Fixes the Jpeg 4:4:4/include comments file save option. In the past when comments were included,
the file was stored using 4:2:2 subsampling. It is now stored with 4:4:4 subsampling.
In Album, the handling of relative links and file not found errors are improved. This makes moving albums
Albums easier since only relative paths between the albumand its images must be maintained. Also, if the album and images
are moved to a different folder structure, a new dialog makes reestablishing links to images easier.
