Halftones 0.5.1

New

  • Treat white as paper (spot color) — reserve near-white (high lightness, low chroma) as bare paper. Palette extraction no longer spends a slot on a white plate, so every requested color is a real ink, and white areas knock out to paper on every plate (bright speculars become bare-paper sparkle). Adjustable lightness threshold; on by default for new projects, off for older files. Turn it off when printing white ink on colored stock.

Changed

  • Layer mask is now hard-cut only. The feathered (soft) mask edge introduced in 0.5.0 was removed: a gray edge can't burn to a 1-bit screen, and the dithered version was sub-mesh and didn't reproduce as real dots. A printable feather needs to modulate tone before halftoning (shrinking dots) — deferred as a future enhancement. The mask boundary stroke / keyline is unaffected.

Unsigned app — on first launch, right-click → Open, or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
