Focus Mask 0.1.580

VanamoSmall linking update to Focus Mask plugin on OS X, it no longer requires X11 libraries to be installed (X11 is the old Unix windowing system, nothing a typical user should know about).

The previous version was accidentally using PNG library from X11, I did not realise that the library shipped by default on OS X is simply a stub with requester to install X11. Since X11 is typically only installed by Unix freaks and developers, I decided to link against a static version of PNG library.

Excessor 0.3.579

CourtyardOne user requested ability to select multiple images for Excessor, here’s update that makes it possible!

Apart from that, it now shares the same registration system as all my plugins, and the unregistered version has a slight delay, hoping to remind you that your support makes possible to create all these plugins.

Leak Lite 0.3.576

Fake colorsI’ve finally taken the time to update Leak Lite plugin for Lightroom 4.0’s new process version. While the process version changes were not that big, the release was mostly delayed by a single bug in the create snapshot button. Myself, I’m usually clicking few dozen times on the shuffle button, and if there are some promising settings shown, I create a snapshot of those settings, and just shuffle a bit more, just in case… After I’m done with the shuffling, I go back to snapshots and decide which one is the to publish and do if necessary, I do some final retouching. All the effects are lossless, so you can adjust them with Lightroom’s built-in gradient tools.

The Fader 0.5.560

Vanha makeistehdasYet another maintenance release!

I received some user comments related to missing LrPhotoPictureView namespace. This class is undocumented Lightroom class which provides UI photo preview and it is not supported by older Lightroom 3.x versions (I recommend running the latest version, 3.6, which does support this undocumented feature). And as you could see from the UI – I was not actually using it for anything, it was simply leftovers from some UI experiments I made.

Another change is in the tone curve interpolation, the lagrange interpolation makes the curve quite unstable when lots of keypoints are used, so I’ve done some additional research to make sure curves are now properly interpolated with the same algorithm Lightroom uses internally (hermite spline interpolation, as presented in book Numerical Recipes).
