Bug fixes

• Color Range and Luminance Range masks work on JPEG and TIFF photos; before, picking a color failed with "the image is not in RGB at the mask stage", and the range's overlay never showed
• a range mask's overlay no longer streaks across the photo after zooming in to 100% and back out
• AI masks and AI Denoise download their models on Linux systems without curl or unzip installed, such as Arch and CachyOS, which have no unzip; before, the download or the unpacking failed
• an AI model left half installed, such as by an install cut short, is downloaded again the next time it is used; before, Select Object, the other AI masks and AI Denoise failed with "cannot load the model" until Immage's data folder was deleted
• on Linux, sliders respond several times faster when other programs are busy, such as on a system drawing in software without its graphics driver; before, a slider like Clarity could take over a second a frame
• on Linux with an NVIDIA graphics card, sliders, zooming and the rest of the window respond about ten times faster; before, NVIDIA's driver held the window to a few updates a second, on Wayland and X11 alike. Immage now has Mesa draw its window, when Mesa is installed and __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES isn't set

Installing

These builds are not signed with a developer certificate, so each system warns when Immage is opened for the first time. Updates after that install from inside Immage, without the warning.

• macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 15 or newer): open Immage-0.34.0-macOS-arm64.dmg and drag Immage to Applications. Open it once; when macOS says it cannot check it, go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Or, in Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Immage.app
• Windows (x64): run Immage-0.34.0-Windows-x64-setup.exe (or Immage-0.34.0-Windows-x64.msi). When SmartScreen stops it, click More info, then Run anyway
• Linux (x86-64, glibc 2.35 or newer, such as Ubuntu 22.04): make Immage-0.34.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage executable (chmod +x Immage-0.34.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage) and run it

Immage checks for a new version once a day (Preferences › About › Updates), and offers to install it.

Known issues

• Linux with an NVIDIA graphics card: NVIDIA's driver holds Immage's window to a few updates a second, on Wayland and X11 alike (WebKit bug 303811). Immage works around it by having Mesa draw its window on the processor, when Mesa is installed, as it is on most distributions. On a fast processor that is about ten times faster, but it may be slower on a 4K screen or a slow processor; to compare, start Immage with __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json for NVIDIA's own drawing. A real fix has to come from NVIDIA's driver or WebKitGTK
