Vitrine v1.37.0

Changed

• Auto Tone Curve and Auto Color Balance are gone — Auto All is now a pure corrector. Why: the style-profile tone curve applied itself "sometimes" (it skipped low-contrast images), and the Adjust-menu "Auto Levels" item was mislabeled — it actually applied that same curve. Removed: the Tone Curve card's ⚡ Auto, the Color Balance card's ⚡ Auto, the "Auto Levels" menu item, the Auto All curve/color-balance components, and the now-signal-less "Styled" toolbar chip. The "Auto Color" menu item became "Auto White Balance" (that's all it still does). The Tone Curve panel's histogram-stretch Auto Levels/Contrast options are unaffected. Affects: src/services/AutoAdjustService.ts, src/App.tsx, module components.
• Auto All rebuilt: real corrections plus Auto Crop. It now composes the standalone Basic Adjustments auto (neutral-target exposure, highlights recovery, shadow lift, black-point clip-lift) with Auto White Balance — and on a photo you haven't cropped or rotated yet, it also auto-straightens (wedge-free, using the same inscribed-crop math as the Crop panel). Your existing framing is never touched. History records it as a single "Auto All" entry. Affects: src/services/AutoAllService.ts (new), src/services/AutoAdjustService.ts.

Added

• "May be sideways?" hint. When a photo's content strongly suggests it's rotated 90° (dominant lines running the wrong way AND the bright sky-side sitting left or right — both signals must agree), a small dismissible chip offers a one-click lossless quarter-turn in the detected direction. It never rotates on its own, and photos with EXIF orientation are already auto-oriented at load as before. Affects: src/services/SidewaysHintService.ts (new), src/App.tsx.
• History now tells you what was edited. Entries read "Exposure +0.35", "Temperature 6500 → 4800", "Rotate 90°", "Straighten +2.0° ", "Crop 84%", "Noise Reduction on", "Basic Adjustments: 3 changes" — with old→new values, per-module counts, and curve/toggle edits no longer collapsing to a bare module name. Cause of the old vagueness: the label formatter discarded the previous value, showed only the first changed control, and skipped non-numeric changes entirely. Affects: src/services/CheckpointService.ts, src/components/Panels/HistoryPanel.tsx.

Fixed

• The filmstrip keeps the active photo centered. Arrow keys, chevrons, and clicks now center the selected thumbnail (instant during rapid navigation, smooth otherwise); wheel-panning the strip never snaps back. Cause: the old scroll logic only acted when the thumb had fully left the visible strip. Affects: src/components/Panels/ThumbnailPanel.tsx.
• A RAW photo used as reference now renders at pane resolution. Cause: the reference pane loaded through the gallery-thumbnail path, which caps RAW embedded previews at a 512px box — a postage stamp in a half-window pane. The reference now requests up to 2560px from the embedded preview (sharp, correctly oriented); JPEG references are unchanged. Affects: electron/main.cjs, electron/rawThumbPolicy.cjs (new), src/App.tsx.

Vitrine v1.36.0

Fixed

• Noise reduction was unusable above strength ~5. Cause: the slider's filter-strength mapping carried a base offset (h = 0.015 + slider×0.0012) — strength 0 already applied a full low-ISO denoise and 95% of the slider range smeared detail. New curve: zero means off, mid-slider ≈ the old "5", the top end is strong but not destructive; the CPU fallback now uses the identical curve, and the NR Auto button was re-tuned to keep its effective output. If you had parked the slider around 5, the same look now lives around 50. Affects: src/shaders/nrCurve.ts (new), src/services/AdvancedDenoisingService.ts, src/modules/NoiseReductionModule.ts.
• The Enhance sharpen (CAS) slider had the same defect: 62.5% of maximum sharpening at slider 0 — and slider 0 meant "off" on the AI route but "62.5%" on the standard route. Now 0 is truly off on both routes and the range is linear. Affects: src/utils/enhanceOps.ts, src/utils/enhanceChain.ts, src/shaders/GpuPreviewPipeline.ts.
• White Balance temperature shifted the tint. Cause: per-channel gains were derived from a display blackbody curve whose green component drifts against the red/blue axis — a warm move injected ≈+19 tint-units of green, 3200K injected ≈−45 (magenta). Green is now pinned: temperature moves strictly along blue↔amber, tint alone owns green↔magenta (CPU, worker, and GPU all share the one fixed function; ~400 lines of dead shader code deleted along the way). Saved non-6500K edits render slightly differently — correctly now. Affects: src/modules/WhiteBalanceModule.ts, src/modules/utils/ColorUtils.ts.
• The Basic Adjustments ⚡ Auto never touched highlights or shadows. Cause: the module has both sliders, but the standalone auto's output simply omitted them (Auto All drives them through a separate fold). Standalone Auto now pulls blown highlights down and lifts crushed shadows from the image's own statistics — while snow, beaches, and high-key scenes are explicitly protected (bright-pixel term gated on the 95th percentile). Auto All is unchanged. Affects: src/services/AutoAdjustService.ts.
• The Enhance panel could lie about its state. Persisted preferences could silently overwrite a photo's own saved enhance/NR settings on any panel remount; slider changes on an applied Sharpen didn't refresh the preview until an unrelated edit did; a refused bake (e.g. clicked while the photo was still developing) still marked itself "applied". All fixed: per-image state always wins over preferences, controls stage until first Apply then commit live like every other panel, only genuinely completed bakes count, and Reset now clears everything the panel shows as active. One asymmetry to know: toggling NR off on an applied enhance updates live, toggling it back on stages until Apply. Affects: src/components/Modules/EnhanceModuleComponent.tsx, src/utils/enhancePrefsStorage.ts.

Changed

• Sharpening preview is now honest — judge it at 1:1. Cause: sharpen kernels were applied in pixel space at whatever resolution was being processed, so the fit-zoom preview showed ~5× stronger sharpening than the exported file ever had. Kernels now scale to the processing resolution with the export as the reference: exports are bit-identical to before, the fit-zoom preview is subtler (matching what the export actually looks like when zoomed out), and the 1:1 view matches the export exactly. Affects: src/utils/enhanceOps.ts, src/services/ImageProcessingPipeline.ts, src/components/Panels/AdjustmentPanel.tsx.

Vitrine v1.35.0

Fixed

• The packaged app's image workers never worked — every heavy pass ran on the UI thread. Cause (two stacked): Vite never bundled the worker (the new URL() / new Worker() split across two modules defeated its static detection, so the installed app shipped raw TypeScript as the worker file — dev-mode transpilation masked it, meaning the v1.29.0 "worker revival" only ever worked in dev), and Chromium blocks ALL file:// worker scripts anyway. Fix: the worker is now a compiled chunk booted from a blob: URL in the packaged app (dev unchanged), with contract tests pinning the whole arrangement. Verified live: pool init 189 ms, a ≥1MP pass through a real worker in 62 ms. Affects: src/workers/createPipelineWorker.ts (new), vite.config.ts, src/services/WebWorkerImageProcessor.ts.
• Batch export was pathologically slow (75 JPEGs ≈ 1h30, ~72 s/photo). Causes: a stale "workers may differ" safety flag forced every export onto the single UI thread (workers were dead anyway — see above); the sharpen chain's Richardson-Lucy deconvolution paid per-pixel boundary clamps in its hottest loop; photos were decoded, processed, and encoded strictly one at a time. Fixes: exports route through the worker pool (with proof: outputs SHA256-identical to the old path), the blur inner loop is 3× faster bit-identically, and the batch pipelines decode-ahead and encode overlap. Measured live: 34.7 s → 18.1 s/photo on 20MP JPEGs with sharpening (steady-state ~16 s). Guardrails kept: noise-reduction exports stay on the main thread (their GPU path lives there), small exports (≤4096 px) keep their GPU passes, and the exposure stage still clamps after a vignetting correction. Affects: src/services/MultiExportService.ts, src/services/exportRouting.ts (new), src/utils/enhanceOps.ts, src/utils/enhanceRestore.ts, src/services/ImageProcessingPipeline.ts, src/components/Dialogs/ExportDialog.tsx.
• Motion deblur could bake corrupted regions into the photo and froze the UI. Causes: the NAFNet model deterministically garbles some bright/high-contrast windows (outputs at ±28 where valid data is 0–1) and nothing checked; independent 768 px windows with a 40 px feather disagree across long motion streaks (ghost seams); the finishing pass ran the whole frame on the UI thread; and the develop pass cached ~320 MB per module for nothing. Fixes: every tile output is sanity-checked (a garbled window keeps its original pixels and you're told how many were skipped), DirectML runs 1536 px windows with a 128 px feather, the finishing pass runs in the revived enhance worker (UI stays responsive), and bake develop passes no longer populate caches. Affects: electron/aiDeblur.cjs, src/services/EnhanceService.ts, src/utils/createEnhanceWorker.ts (new), src/services/EnhanceWorkerClient.ts.
• Switching photos during an Enhance/AI bake could write the previous photo's pixels, revert point, and saved edits onto the new photo. Cause: no identity re-check after the minutes-long develop + inference awaits, while the filmstrip stays clickable. Every bake now captures the target photo's identity up front and cleanly cancels (with a notice) if you've moved on; every bake result is also size- and sanity-validated before it may replace the working base — the v1.32.0 corruption class is now guarded at its highest-consequence write. A crashed or hung enhance worker now rejects cleanly (watchdog) instead of leaving the panel stuck busy. Affects: src/services/EnhanceService.ts, src/services/EnhanceWorkerClient.ts, src/services/EditPersistenceService.ts.
• AI upscale on a machine without GPU acceleration silently ran on the CPU — a 20MP ×2 upscale meant ~2,000 tiles and over an hour, uncancellable. The AI route is now available only when the model actually runs on DirectML; otherwise the deterministic (Lanczos) upscaler serves the same request at the same scale. Affects: electron/aiUpscaler.cjs, src/services/EnhanceService.ts.

Vitrine v1.34.2

Fixed

• Starting a crop on a 90°-rotated photo snapped it back to the original rotation. Cause: the re-crop "show the full frame" suspension disabled the whole crop module — which now also owns the quarter-turn orientation. The suspension now zeroes only the crop rect (orientation, straighten angle, and flips keep applying), and a plain handle click restores the rect losslessly. Also fixed: the 'Original' aspect lock used the unrotated frame's ratio under 90°/270°, forcing landscape crops inside a portrait frame — it now follows the rotated frame. Affects: src/components/Layout/Canvas.tsx, src/modules/CropModule.ts.
• Straightening left the exposed non-photo wedges visible. The ±2°/±5° chips and Auto-Straighten never applied the auto-crop, and the slider only did with no existing crop. All straighten entry points now end wedge-free: the largest inscribed crop is applied (or intersected with your existing crop), orientation-aware. Affects: src/components/Modules/CropModuleComponent.tsx.

Changed

• Before/After: the Before pane now shows the 90° rotation too. Comparing a rotated After against an unrotated Before was useless; the Before stays otherwise pristine (no crop/straighten/edits). Affects: src/App.tsx.

Vitrine v1.34.1

Fixed

• Auto Basic Adjustments could darken a well-exposed photo (−0.5 stops, histogram dragged left). Cause: the v1.33.0 standalone exposure targeted the style-profile bucket medians — post-edit portfolio statistics (the dark bucket sits at ~0.07 median), so a decent photo classified into a dark-leaning bucket was yanked down at full gain. Fix: standalone exposure now targets a NEUTRAL median (0.40) with a dead zone and an asymmetric clamp — strong lifts for dark shots (up to +0.7), cautious ceiling on darkening (−0.35, and only for genuinely bright medians); style grading remains Auto All's job. Verified: well-exposed scene now gets a subtle refinement with zero darkening, the dark sunset still gets its clear lift. Affects: src/services/AutoAdjustService.ts.

Vitrine v1.34.0

Changed

• The Crop & Transform ±1° nudge arrows are now 90° rotation buttons. Each click rotates the photo a lossless quarter-turn (clockwise / counter-clockwise, pure pixel remap — no resampling), swapping the frame for portrait/landscape; four clicks return exactly to the original. Fine straightening still lives in the Rotation slider and the ±2°/±5° chips. The orientation persists with the photo's edits and applies before flips, straightening, and the crop rect. Also fixed along the way: on a freshly opened photo, panel-driven crop edits (rotation slider, flips, ratios) could silently not render until an app restart — the same adapter-enable gate as the v1.29.0 interactive-crop fix, now mirrored for panel edits too. Affects: src/modules/CropModule.ts, src/modules/CropPipelineModule.ts, src/components/Modules/CropModuleComponent.tsx, src/components/Panels/AdjustmentPanel.tsx.

Vitrine v1.33.0

Changed

• The Basic Adjustments card's ⚡ Auto is much stronger. Cause of the old timidity: exposure was hardcoded to zero (correct inside Auto All, where the Exposure module owns it — but the card's own Auto never touches that module, so under/over-exposed photos got no exposure correction at all) and the remaining gains were whisper-level (brightness capped at 2.5% of its range). Standalone Auto now corrects exposure toward your style profile's target (up to ±0.7 stops) with proportionally stronger contrast/brightness/saturation moves; Auto All's composed look is unchanged (frozen at the original gentler numbers). Live-verified on two RAW scenes: clearly visible, balanced corrections without blowout. Affects: src/services/AutoAdjustService.ts, src/components/Modules/BasicAdjustmentsModuleComponent.tsx.

Vitrine v1.32.0

Fixed

• Exports with Noise Reduction came out shredded (repeated strips at the top, black below). Cause: the CPU "wavelet" denoiser was an unfinished placeholder — its no-op transforms returned a quarter-resolution buffer, and auto-selection routed EVERY image above 1MP into it. Only exports were affected because previews always use the GPU denoiser; the CPU path runs when the image exceeds the single-pass GPU size cap. Fixes: full-resolution denoise now runs the SAME GPU NLM kernel in seam-free tiles (exports match the preview's look); the stub is an honest, logged identity; the module validates every output buffer; and the pipeline itself now skips any module whose output size lies (buffer-conservation guard) so this entire corruption class is dead. Affects: src/services/AdvancedDenoisingService.ts, src/modules/NoiseReductionModule.ts, src/services/ImageProcessingPipeline.ts.

Changed

• Lens Corrections no longer has per-section enable checkboxes. A correction is active exactly when its values are non-neutral (amount ≠ 0, radius > 0, …) — sliders are always live, a small accent dot marks active sections, and neutral settings cost nothing. Affects: src/components/Modules/LensCorrectionsModuleComponent.tsx.

Added

• Enhance settings are remembered. Sharpen/upscale toggles, scale, detail sliders, chroma clean, and the Noise Reduction toggle/strength persist across pictures and sessions (durable store, debounced). A photo's own saved enhance state always wins; prefs only seed a panel at factory defaults. Applying remains an explicit per-photo action.

Added

• RAW Decode settings are remembered. The decode options you last chose (demosaic algorithm, highlight mode, Camera match) become the default for RAW files you haven't opened before — across pictures and across sessions. Committed whenever a re-decode you triggered in the RAW Decode panel succeeds; each already-opened photo still keeps its own saved per-image options, and batch exports of never-opened RAWs use the same defaults so they render exactly as opening them would. Stored in the main-process durable store — a renderer localStorage write was proven to vanish when the app quits soon after. Affects: src/utils/rawDecodeDefaultsStorage.ts (new), src/services/RawImageService.ts, src/components/Layout/Canvas.tsx, src/services/ImageService.ts.

Fixed

• Changing the star filter snapped the filmstrip back to the beginning. Cause: the filtered list shrinks, the old scroll offset clamps toward zero, and nothing re-anchored. The strip now re-centers the current picture after a filter change — or, when the filter hides it, the nearest surviving photo in folder order. Affects: src/components/Panels/ThumbnailPanel.tsx.

Vitrine v1.30.0

Fixed

• Exporting a cropped photo produced a shredded image (content squeezed into the top of the frame, black band at the bottom). Cause: with a crop active the pipeline returns a SMALLER buffer and reports the post-crop dimensions by mutating the processing context in place — but both export paths encoded that buffer with the ORIGINAL dimensions, so the encoder ran out of rows. Latent for months: until v1.29.0 fixed the crop adapter gate, interactive crops were pipeline no-ops and the export path never saw a crop-shrunk buffer. Fix: both single and multi export now read the post-crop context dims; regression tests pin the contract (including a pipeline-wide channel/length conservation suite). Affects: src/components/Dialogs/ExportDialog.tsx, src/services/MultiExportService.ts.

Changed

• Exported filenames now use the _VIT suffix (Vitrine) instead of the pre-rebrand _PEP (Photo Editor Pro), e.g. photo_VIT.jpg. Affects: src/utils/exportFilename.ts, src/services/ExportService.ts.
• Single exports never overwrite an earlier export. If photo_VIT.jpg already exists the name auto-increments (photo_VIT_1.jpg, photo_VIT_2.jpg, …), matching the multi-export behaviour. Affects: src/services/ExportService.ts.

Added

• Export settings are remembered. The Export dialog restores the last-used format, quality, bit depth, color space, compression, sharpening, and output folder across sessions (per-image values like resize dimensions are never persisted). Affects: src/utils/exportSettingsStorage.ts (new), src/components/Dialogs/ExportDialog.tsx.
• Star-filtered thumbnails appear faster. Right after a folder's ratings load, the rated photos' thumbnails are prefetched in the background at idle priority (they are exactly what filters reveal), and the decode queue runs six-wide — so clicking a filter chip shows thumbnails near-instantly instead of decoding on demand. Affects: src/App.tsx, src/utils/thumbnailScheduler.ts.
