Beta build 20

- Checks for OpenGL 1.2 support instead of crashing, if it's not available.

- Made thumbnail panel thinner and adjusted position and movement of the file name.

- Added the option to disable TIFF compression.

- There was a band at the bottom of the image, where image quality was lower with some camera models. Fixed.

- When a picture was deleted while loading the thumbnails, sometimes the last thumbnail wasn't loaded. Fixed.

- Zoom factor was displayed as a wild value while loading the first image. Fixed.
 

Beta build 19

- Improved highlight recovery on many camera models

- Thumbnails don't zoom when mouse is over buttons

- Metadata display over histogram can be toggled on and off by clicking on it

 

Beta build 18

- Fixed a rounding error, which caused some overexposed highlights to get a strange colour.
 

Beta build 17

- More correct colours

- Improved highlight recovery

- Improved fill light

- Improved black levels

- Fixed a crash bug that occurred when trying to browse raw files, which were located in the root folder of a drive

- Fixed the problem of the user interface getting messed up when making the window full-screen right after starting the application

 

Beta build 16

- Reduced video memory usage. Also possible hardware compatibility improvement.

- Fixed a problem with the default sharpening value. It should really be 0.2 now and not do strange things.
