Bug fix release 8-May-2018

Post by jsachs »

Finally got JPEG and TIFF file reading and writing to work via WIC instead of GDI+ (see below)

I have posted a new release (8-May-2018) in full installer and executable-only. Minor changes to help file.

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

For 48-bit color images, Edit/Count Colors now computes the number of unique 24-bit colors.

Fixed bug causing slight error in reporting of GPS coordinates and locating them on Google maps.

Modified Line and Arrow tool to update preview when adjusting line width with mouse wheel.

Switched from GDI+ to WIC (two Microsoft image file libraries) for reading and writing TIFF and JPEG images. This solves the problem of being forced to save grayscale JPEGs as color, adds JPEG chroma subsampling options and provides support for both LZW and ZIP Tiff compression.
