NegPy 0.60.0

0.60.0

• New: Rolls and the Roll tab — the Library is a list of rolls: folder rolls, color-coded, and virtual rolls built from any frames. A photo in more than one roll can get its own edit per roll. The Roll tab holds roll-wide defaults for Film Mode, Frame Assembly (Trichrome, Half Frame with per-roll auto-detect), Calibration, Crop, Raw Decode, Optics, Roll Analysis, Metering and Metadata. Every card header has a Frame/Roll switch, and a frame you change is locked on that card until Apply pushes it back. Presets move to Favorites, and the export destination defaults to a subfolder of the roll. @PabloRuizCuevas
• New: Scenes — group frames of a roll into a scene with its own normalization baseline; Batch Analysis is now Roll Analysis. Baselines compare whole frames, and a frame far from the rest keeps its own bounds.
• New: Roll-wide Cast Removal — Roll and Scene Analysis also measure each frame's gray balance. With Use Average: Cast on, the frames of a roll or scene share its color curve, and each frame keeps its own midtone level. Color Negative only. Cast Removal defaults to 1.0 on Color Negative; existing edits keep their saved strength.
• New: Roll Settings… and Search by meaning — tag gear and capture metadata across a frame, a selection or a roll, with camera, film stock, ISO and date suggested from the folder name. Search is an opt-in CLIP search across a roll or the whole library. @PabloRuizCuevas
• New: Embedded lens correction for Sony ARW and DNG — separate Distortion and CA toggles from the file's own metadata. @hsnilsson
• New: Exclude areas from Optical Removal — right-drag paints a band the detector leaves alone. @s6stkurz
• New: More controls on Slide — highlight reconstruction (Off / Blend / Reconstruct), Dye Separation and Separation Damping without Normalize, and White/Black Point on the transfer path. @thetalkingdrum
• New: Batch edits across the Film Strip — rotate and flip turn every selected frame, Reset Roll to Defaults… undoes a setting pushed to the whole roll, and thumbnails of edited frames refresh in the background (plus a manual Update Thumbnails). @thetalkingdrum
• New: Master switch for carrying settings to a new frame. @PabloRuizCuevas
• New: Tone Limit on Dodge & Burn masks — a mask can act only on tones lighter or darker than a zone of the print, like a lith mask, so a sky burn stops at the skyline. Invert moves to a toggle on each mask row.
• Change: Positive is a Slide-only setting and applies to the whole roll; Auto Density and Auto Grade work on it. @PabloRuizCuevas
• Change: Faster, lighter navigation — Film Strip previews stream in the background with bounded memory, and neighbor prefetch works again on scan TIFFs and camera RAWs. @hsnilsson
• Change: User Guide and Pipeline docs rewritten — shorter and plainer, including the in-app ⓘ guides.
• Fix: Correct defaults everywhere — new files and resets use the calibrated grade, crosstalk and auto crop. On a slide, Cast Removal keeps the value you set, and reset and Before/After use the slide default of 0. @thetalkingdrum
• Fix: Slide Shadows/Highlights color balance works. @thetalkingdrum
• Fix: RAW decode clips at the camera's calibrated white level. @thetalkingdrum
• Fix: Shift/Ctrl-click multi-select in the Film Strip is reliable. @thetalkingdrum
• Fix: Small UI fixes — the Analysis Buffer overlay stays visible while its slider is held, and the spinner shows on a slow reload. @thetalkingdrum
• Fix: Hot Folder no longer offers a rejected duplicate again. @PabloRuizCuevas
