PIC — Personal Image Catalogue v0.1.4 Beta Pre-release

PIC — Personal Image Catalogue v0.1.4 is a public Beta release. The headline addition is Edit Mode, with the photo editing work and other improvements added since v0.1.3.

New: Edit Mode

Edit photos directly from the library with a non-destructive workflow. Changes are stored as edit recipes, so the original photo remains untouched.

• Crop and straighten photos
• Adjust exposure, fill light, highlights, shadows, temperature, saturation, and sharpening
• Apply automatic contrast and colour corrections, black and white, and sepia effects
• Undo, redo, and reset edits
• Copy edits from one photo and paste them onto another
• Export an edited photo as a full-quality JPEG
• Move between photos while editing and return to the same thumbnail position
• Copy edits and Paste to single/multiple photos in an instant

Also new since v0.1.3

• Improved photo actions: a redesigned right-click menu, Set as Wallpaper, and reliable grid focus after favourites, pasted edits, editing, and album actions.
• Wallpaper layouts: landscape photos fill the screen, portrait photos retain the whole image over a blurred background, and panoramic photos preserve their width. RAW photos are converted for wallpaper use.
• Better RAW viewing: higher-quality RAW previews and more robust DNG recovery improve thumbnails and full-photo viewing.
• Smarter collages: Smart Mosaic uses global layout scoring, supports no-crop layouts, handles mixed orientations more effectively, and improves preview performance and offline-photo handling.
• Library refinements: better keyboard navigation and search interactions, offline thumbnail recovery, favourite indicators, and refreshed documentation.

Included downloads
