OpenEnlarge 0.3.0
OpenEnlarge 0.3.0 — a reworked, physically-honest inversion engine, automatic film-base detection, and a faster, friendlier develop workflow.
✨ New
- One inversion engine — Kodak Cineon (negadoctor) density inversion. The film-stock dropdown and engine toggle are gone in favor of a single, consistent, physically-based path: each channel's density is restored relative to the measured film base, anchored to the roll's density range, then printed back to a positive.
- Automatic film-base detection. OpenEnlarge finds the orange-mask rebate and samples it as a single coherent clear-film color (a real RGB value, not three independent per-channel percentiles), with a hint to repoint it when confidence is low.
- Crop-aware analysis. Film base, density range (
D_max), and white balance are now measured inside your crop — so the black surround and rebate of a camera scan no longer wash the image out. - Gray-point white-balance picker. Click a neutral to set scene white balance; WB is applied as a gain on the positive print, so deep shadows stay neutral instead of picking up a color cast.
- Drag-and-drop import. Drag scans onto the Library and drop them in — with a full-window drop indicator.
- Multi-select & multi-delete. Ctrl/Cmd-click, Shift-click, and Ctrl/Cmd+A across the grid and both filmstrips, with a "Delete N items" context action.
- More context-menu actions — "Open in folder" (Library and Develop) and Flip horizontal / vertical.
💅 Improvements
- Tuned Cineon tone defaults for better out-of-the-box contrast.
- Faster analysis — base and
D_maxare sampled on a 512px proxy and stored per image at develop time, instead of re-sorting the full-resolution frame on every image switch. - Interface polish throughout — hover feedback on tabs, tools, and menu items; flatter, calmer Library panels; refined Import / Tether / Export buttons; a glassy Settings popup; and context menus that stay on-screen with a scale transition.
- Sticky white balance — a deliberate Temp/Tint adjustment persists and is no longer clobbered when other controls change.
🐛 Fixes
- Robust auto white balance — no more blue cast from warm highlights.
- Manual Temp/Tint now persists when you revisit an image.
- Context menus no longer clip at the screen edges.
