What's New

FreeCCR 1.1.1 — fixes for the macOS scanner-TIFF reports (issues #86 and #87). Thanks for the detailed reports!

  • B/W-point conversion no longer fails on macOS. The .app launches with an ASCII console encoding, and a diagnostic log line crashed every conversion with 'ascii' codec can't encode character… ("Convert All" silently produced un-inverted frames). Logging can no longer abort any operation.
  • Pakon / Nikon Coolscan TIFFs load correctly. Planar TIFFs (Pakon expRGB exports) were silently decoded with scrambled channels; LZW/deflate-compressed scans could take minutes or never finish loading; float and wide-integer sample formats rendered black. All fixed.
  • Consistent film-base colour on import. The un-converted preview's auto-brightness no longer shifts hue per frame — the film base reads the same colour on a mostly-blank frame as on an exposed one. (Display only; conversion and export are unchanged.)

Install

Windows

Download the installer (FreeCCR_Install_*.exe) from the Assets below and run it.

macOS (Apple Silicon)

Download FreeCCR_macOS_*.zip from the Assets, unzip it, and move FreeCCR.app into your Applications folder.

⚠️ macOS may say the app is "damaged and can't be opened" — it isn't. FreeCCR isn't notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper blocks unsigned downloads on first launch. Clear the quarantine flag once by running this in Terminal:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/FreeCCR.app

Then open the app normally.

Alternative: right-click the app → OpenOpen. On macOS Sequoia (15), if no "Open" button appears, use the Terminal command above, or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Linux (x86_64)

AppImage (recommended): download FreeCCR_Linux_*-x86_64.AppImage from the Assets, make it executable, and run it:

chmod +x FreeCCR_Linux_*-x86_64.AppImage
./FreeCCR_Linux_*-x86_64.AppImage

Portable folder: download FreeCCR_Linux_*-x86_64.tar.gz, extract it anywhere, and run FreeCCR/FreeCCR. Fully self-contained — no Python or packages to install.

Built on Ubuntu 22.04, so it runs on any x86_64 distro with glibc 2.35 or newer: Ubuntu 22.04+, Linux Mint 21+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+, openSUSE, Arch, etc.
