Version History

 

MacOS X Version 1.0 (December 2012)

• The Mac version is based on Verson 1.02 for Windows, but does not include the Skin feature.

 

Windows Version 1.02 (August 2012)

• Four new ND presets
• The Undo/Redo feature now also works if Prefs > Instant Preview is activated and if a preset item is clicked.
• You only need to move the mouse over the preset list in order to use the mouse wheel for scrolling. Previously it was necessary to click a preset first.
• Standalone Bug Fix: Sometimes a memory error was displayed at start up and crash occurred later. It was caused by some values in the .ini file. This is fixed now.
• Standalone Bug Fix: The controls vanished when opening an image via command line and starting up with maximized window.
• Standalone Bug Fix: When expanding the preset list, sometimes the preview did not display correctly anymore.
• Bug Fix: Clicking on the preset list background does not collapse a group or display an error message anymore.
• Bug Fix: The Brightness slider of FX1 > Polarizer was not taken into account when saving presets or for the Show/Disable menu.
• Bug Fix: Choosing the Polarizer or Colorshift item on the Disable menu did not disable the effect.
• Bug Fix: Selecting a Color Grad preset in Easy or Advanced Mode did not set the right item in Photography Mode.
• Bug Fix: Clicking a preset item sometimes updated the preview twice.
• Bug Fix: Changing the language with a skin activated did not draw the Language and On Startup labels.
• Plugin Installer: The message "This program might not have installed correctly" is not displayed anymore.

 

Windows Version 1.01 (June 2012)

• New Features and Improvements:
  
  
  • New Skin feature that imitates the user interface of Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and PaintShop Pro. The 14 skin options on the Prefs tab sheet also include a dark version of Aero (the default UI style of Windows Vista/7) and a special PhotoWiz skin style. There is also an option to only skin the sliders. When you run ColorStyler for the first time, you are asked if you want to use a dark skin or keep the standard controls. Alternatively you can manually choose a skin on the Prefs tab sheet. You can choose different skins for the plugin, standalone and Lightroom version.
  • New one-step Undo/Redo feature as arrows near the Mode combo box. Using the Ctrl+Z and Crl+Y key shortcuts is also possible. When switching the Preview tab or choosing another image, the undo data is deleted.
  • The zero keys can be used to set a slider to zero.
  • Pressing the S key again deactivates Split View.
  • The space key for switching to the hand tool now only works if the mouse is located over the preview. As a result the space key can now be used to (de)activate check boxes.
  • The "Small Thumbs" and "Very Small Thumbs" options use a smaller font in order to make more letters of a preset name visible.
  • Flicker reduction under Vista and Windows 7:
    • When starting up with maximized window.
    • When maximizing and restoring the window
    • With deactivated skin feature when switching between tab sheets or resizing the window
  • Plugin Installer: Support for PhotoFiltre 6.5 (freeware)
    
    
    
• Bug Fixes:
  
  
  • Standalone Bug Fix: Images that were not displayed in the preview at least once had no effect applied during batch processing or after clicking OK on the main window.
  • Standalone Bug Fix: After expanding the preset list and changing the thumbnail size, the preview went blank and sometimes caused a crash.
  • Bug Fix: When starting up ColorStyler maximized and restoring the window size, the image was not fitted in the preview or not displayed.

  • Bug Fix: Sometimes at start up Quick Edit Mode or Photography Mode were not activated.
