darkmoon v1.2.1
Polish and speed release on top of 1.2.0 — much faster export, presets that drop straight into Lightroom, and smoother UI.
Export
- Big speed-up on full-resolution export: the Exposure+Dehaze pass and the float→8-bit conversion now run across CPU cores like the rest of the pipeline, and the sRGB↔linear conversions, Contrast and tone falloff are table-driven. Roughly 4× faster than v1.2.0 on a 40 MP file; the resample step is also skipped entirely for near-full-size exports.
- Rapid export is on by default now.
- The export result popup has a Copy button and shows a per-stage timing breakdown.
Presets
- Exported
.xmppresets are now written the way Lightroom and Camera Raw expect: XMP packet wrapper, capability flags, a recent version tag, a stableUUID(re-importing updates in place instead of making a duplicate) and a "darkmoon" group. They import cleanly into Lightroom Classic and other software.
Interface
- Dialogs (Settings, About, Export, AI Denoise, confirmations) and dropdown menus open and close with a quick OS-style fade/scale instead of snapping.
- Color Mixer HUE sliders show each channel's real colour on the track instead of a shared grey gradient.
- Opening Crop & Transform resets zoom to Fit and turns Before/After off.
Changes
- The full-quality editing preview is now off by default (toggle in Settings); default resolution lowered to 30%.
- Removed the Adobe Color palette import feature.
