What's New:

Version 25.01:

Improvements:

• Mouse pointer, Windows: When resizing via system settings, the mouse pointers are now more beautiful.
• Image toolbar: The function field ("Show Mask", ...) can now also be edited via the context menu.
• XCF: Support of palette images.
• Drag&Drop, Windows, links: If links (e.g. from VisualStudio code) are dragged onto PhotoLine, they are now read correctly.
• Export Color Profile: Now uses profile name as default file name.

Bug Fixes:

• PDF export, adjustment layers, virtual copies: Non-grouped virtual copies of adjustment layers may not have been exported correctly.
• PDF export, text layers with background effects: If the text frame was too small, the text was not exported.
• PDF export: Without color space conversion, gradients with different color types were not saved.
• XCF import: For images with a height divisible by 64, the bottom tile was not read.
• PSD import: Patterns are read better.
• Web Export, action: When changing the action, the preview was not recalculated.
• Layer > Management > Paste/Copy Layer Style(s), Path Group: Fill and line color were not set/copied correctly for path groups.
• User-defined context menu, macOS: Could appear in rare cases, even if a modal dialog was shown.
• Channel List: The mouse pointer that appeared over the thumbnail after Ctrl or Command did not disappear after releasing Ctrl/Command.
• Layer List, thumbnails, isolated group, switched off channels (Layer Attributes): With the specified boundary conditions, some thumbnails may not have been correct.
• Web Export, Windows: Name presetting in the file dialog did not work.
• Layer tool, selection, layers without alpha output: Layers with alpha output switched off could not be selected with the layer tool.
• Layer tool, rotate layers with Alt+arrow keys: Rotating with the arrow keys only worked in one direction.
• Tool preview, Liquify: The tool preview was not drawn correctly for layers that are liquified.
• Actions: When deleting a group of actions, you were asked twice whether you really wanted to delete it.
• Gradient action: When editing the action, the correct blend mode was not displayed.
• Morph selected vector layers: Only if one of the two vector layers has a visible outline style, the outline is morphed.
• Morph selected vector layers: In rare cases, too little was redrawn when moving the source/target layer if only the source or target layer had an outline
• Undo/Redo: It could happen that after Undo/Redo the document was no longer redrawn correctly or the user interface was no longer updated correctly
• Vector layers, multiple outline/fill styles, undo: If different styles were changed one after the other, the undo entries were incorrectly combined.
• Image output, without antialiasing, 180° rotation: Images rotated by 180° without antialiasing were output unrotated.
• XMP dаta: The time was discarded for DateCreated.
• Save document: The floating selection of the layer tool could be saved. This led to a crash sooner or later after loading.
• Close minimized document, Windows: Crash fixed.
• Guides: Setting guides for the active page only worked for the first page of a document.
• Paste as document, group, child with layer effect in page mode: After pasting, the group sometimes had the wrong displayed layer size.
• Clipboard, Actions, Windows: With actions, it could happen that recorded copy steps were not executed correctly.
• Adjustment Layers dialog, Color Picker: Fixed a possible crash when several documents were displayed side by side.
• Document attributes, XMP/EXIF attributes: If XMP/EXIF were selected and collapsed/expanded, the text sometimes had the wrong color.
• Show/hide lasso, vector lasso: The vector lasso showed its handles even when the lasso was hidden.
• Automatic text layer, element anchor: If the anchored layer of an automatic text layer was dragged onto this text layer in the layer list, a crash occurred.
• Gradient editor in dialogs: Clicking in color bar showed pop-up dialog instead of selecting color/gamma or creating new color.
