New in Version 15.00
Better User Interface
Docking Helper Dialogs
The handling of the helper dialogs has been reworked. On Windows you can now dock helper dialogs to each other, that are not embedded in the main window, too.
Furthermore the current layout can be saved and used later by using the main menu ("View/Dialog Layout") or the context menu of the title bar of a helper dialog.
Editing of Color Blends
Color blends can now be edited directly in the document window:
* Clicking and dragging moves a blend color.
* By clicking on the blend line a new color is created.
* Dragging a color away deletes that color. But note, that there have to be at least two colors in the blend.
* The context menu of the blend line allows to modify the blend type and the color space.
The Attributes Dialog
The Attributes dialog has been extended to a very important control center.
It will show you all important information of the active document, the active page and the active layer. Usually these values can be edited directly. You can still work the „classic way“ by using the main menu, but using the Attribute dialog is much faster.
Document Window: Background Color Adjustable
The standard background of document windows is very bright and not best for editing dark images. Therefore the background color can now be changed optionally.
Text Options
All options needed for formatting text have been combined in the tool settings of the Text tool. The now useless dialog „Text Options“ has been removed.
Image Processing
The „Red Eye“ Tool
The Red Eye tool can correct the red eyes, that originate from taking a photo by using a flash light. In order to do this, you have to mark the red eyes by using the mouse first. On releasing the mouse button the correction will take place. The options in the Tool Settings can be used to enhance the result.
The Tool "Color Position"
With the tool Color Position you can lay down positions in the document. The color at these positions will then be displayed in the Picture Info dialog. This allows to control the effect of an image manipulation at glance.
Color Correction
Color Correction can be used to correct the colors of an image. If Adjust Whitepoint is activated, bright colors and especially white are kept unmodified.
Variable Blur
Variable Blur is a specialized Version of the Gaussian Blur. While the Gaussian Blur applies the same filter radius to the whole image, the Variable Blur adjusts the radius based on the mask value (see chapter 2.4.1) at the current location. This can used to simulate depth of field.
A mask value of 0 means a radius of 0. There is no filtering. A mask value of 255 means maximum filtering: the value entered in the dialog will be used. The calculation of the values in between depends on Bias. If the bias value is 0.50, the radius will be interpolated linearly
Scaling/Change Layer Size/Change Document Size Now With Formula Support
The scaling functions and the functions for modifying the document and the layer size now have a new working mode: Formula. Formula allows to set the new size as a formula allowing more flexibility. Especially on recording actions this is a major enhancement.
Curves
Curves now optionally allows to work in Lab or HIS color space.
Additionally the transparency (alpha channel) can now be edited, too.
Working With Files
SVG Import
SVG is going to be a standard format for vector graphics. Aside from vector graphics it can contain images and text.
PhotoLine is now able to import SVG files.
Batch Converting
If you want to use a fix destination file format, you can now change the options of this file format directly in the dialog Batch Converting.
Web Export
By default the Web Export is now saving RGB images in sRGB color space. This way the problem, that pictures look different on web pages, is reduced.
Mac OS Icon Files (ICNS)
PhotoLine is now supporting the two new icon sizes 256x256 and 512x512 pixels. Both sizes can be read and written.
PDF Export
The PDF Export can now export the image map entries created with the function "Web/Image Map/Assign Command".
TIFF Import
If a TIFF file contains a not correctly marked preview, PhotoLine will now recognize it nevertheless and will not load it any longer.
Mac OS: Support of Quick Look
On Mac OS there is now a simple support of Quick Look for PLD files. It will show the embedded preview.
Browse
Preview
The Browse window can now show a large preview of the selected file.
The size of the preview is adjustable.
Calculations In The Background
Previews of JPEG, TIFF and PNG files are now calculated in the background. This way the user interface is more responsive.
Search For Keywords
Wird in der Suchfunktion der Bildübersicht nach einem leeren The search function of the Browse window now allows to search for empty keywords by clearing the search text and using the condition "is equal".
Create Picture Catalog
The resolution of the images in the created catalog can now be reduced to the document resolution. This minimizes the memory consumption of the catalog.
Show Image
* Full Screen
The Show Image dialog can now be full screen.
* Copy/Move File
You can now predefine several destination folders for moving and copying files.
Miscellaneous
64 Bit Version
PhotoLine can now run as a 64 bit application on a suitable computer system and can now utilize the whole installed RAM.
On PCs you need a XP-64 or a Vista-64 and on Macs a OS X 10.5 with Core 2 processor or better. By using the 64 bit version there is an additional performance win.
Of course, PhotoLine can still be used on 32 bit systems.
Text Register
The text register allows to overlay the pages of the document with a line raster. A paragraph can be aligned to this raster by using the new paragraph attribute "Text in Register". This results in a better looking text, if there are multiple columns or both sides of a sheet of paper are used for printing.
Date/Page Number
Date/Page Number will insert a special character showing a certain kind of information.
For example in a document with several pages this allows you to create a headline containing "Page 2 Of 4" which is automatically adjusted to the current page number and the number of pages.
The Ray Tool
This tool can be used to create rays.
The Ray Tool
Harmonic Colors
By using the context menu of a color field, you can call the function "Harmony".
Actions Now With Pauses
You can now insert one or more pauses in an action. While playing an action, a pause allows you make modifications in your document, that are important for the following steps of the action. You can for example enter text or create a selection.
Details
* Duplicating the background layer
On duplicating the background layer the new layer now automatically gets a transparency channel.
* ICC profile
PhotoLine can now use ICC profiles, that are not installed in the operation system. These Icc profiles have to be located in the application folder in the subfolder "Defaults/ICCProfiles".
* Perspective distortion
The function "Effects/Shape Tools/Distort Frame" can now be recorded as action.
* Lasso
The lasso can now be scaled by using Shift+arrow key (Ctrl/command key for larger steps).
* Blends
If "Antialias" is activated, blends are now dithered.
* Layer dialog
There is now a icon for creating layer masks quickly.
# Curves/Curve editor
Points can now be deletes by using the Delete key (Windows) or Backspace (Mac OS).

The Crop tool will now crop by using the Return key, too.
# Document mode, window

If the resulting data are larger than the already existing ones, the existing data will be used.
# Align Pattern, Attribute dialog

# Tool Bar, vector layers, line width
The line width can now be modified with a double-arrow control.
# Preview in dialogs
The preview of some filters is now faster.
# Layer dialog
The context menu now offers the various show/clip combinations.
Context menu
