v1.6.0
Colorization (new)
Restore color to black & white or faded photos with a dedicated Colorize toolbar button (item 37) — on-device (DDColor model), with an Intensity slider (0–100%) to dial back oversaturation. Works best on daytime/normal-lighting scenes; unusual/artificial lighting can produce a warm cast.
Fixes
- TIFF files decoding as noise — a 16-bit-per-channel TIFF (common for camera TIFF exports) rendered as pure static. Common image decoding now correctly normalizes bit depth and channel count for any source (also fixes RGBA PNGs).
- Blurry/blocky editing view and JPEG exports — the default editing preview resolution was too low for modern high-DPI displays, and exporting an already-compressed source (JPEG, etc.) was stacking an unnecessary extra lossy JPEG generation on top of the file's own compression. Preview resolution raised, and the redundant compression pass removed for non-RAW sources.
- Colorize dialog slow to open / opening twice on a fast double-click — the GPU probe now runs after the dialog is already on screen, matching how the AI Denoise dialog already did it. The same double-open guard was added to both dialogs.
- Reset not clearing Colorize/AI Enhance/Cloud AI — Reset now reverts the underlying processed image buffer too, not just the toggle state.
- "RAW files only" leaving dead entries in Recent Files — a JPEG/PNG/etc. entry there stayed clickable but silently failed to open; it's now hidden while the filter is on, matching folder scans.
Changes
- AI Denoise's Amount slider now defaults to 50% instead of 100%, matching every other Amount slider in the app.
