New in version 22.02

[Gerhard Huber]

Improvements:

• Pixel Grid, Windows: The minimum zoom factor is multiplied by the screen DPI
• Color management, black point: Only set if supported by the CMS
• PDF export: With virtual copies, vector layer masks are no longer converted to an image
• Scan, Windows, Twain: The scanned layer is activated

Bug fixes:

• Soft brushes, scaling with Shift+mouse wheel: Inner radius could become bigger and bigger
• PSD import, color lists: reading Lab colors did not work properly
• Color editor, Windows: Text fields had black bars
• Open Document, macOS: Changes to the file name in the Finder did not rename the document
• Edit > Paste as Document: If a text layer was too small for its content, the new document might not have the correct size
• Text tool, tool settings: Multiple values were not reset
• PDF export, gradients: Gradients with extreme gamma values are exported better
• Mouse pointer, macOS: Arrow pointers did not work properly
• Tabs in modal dialogs, moving the dialog, macOS: Switching the subdialog did not work after moving
• Text output, macOS: 10.15 smoothes text in a gray image quite differently than in a color image. Therefore text is now output to a color image
• Rectangles, pixel mode: It could happen that rectangles in pixel mode were displayed one pixel too small when zoomed > 100%.
• Dynamic filters, layer mask: Dynamic filters with layer mask could cause a crash
• Color lists, Windows, Drag&Drop: Drag&Drop could not create new colors
• PDF export, SVG export: export of a virtual copy of a layer with layer mask did not save the layer mask
• TIFF import, 16 Bit, Premultiplied Alpha: Possibly wrong colors fixed
• Lens correction: Now supports gray images
• Lens correction, vignette: Did not work with gray images
• Lens correction, Lensfun: If a lens was not visible with filtered view, it was not displayed even after switching off the filter
• EXR import: If necessary, are now loaded as a document (thus correct bit depth and color profile), gray images are invisible by default
• Layer tool, context menu: The clicked layers are displayed in the same order as in the layer list
• Placeholders, adjustment layers: Placeholders with grouped adjustment layers ignored the color profile of the placeholder file when cached

I just noticed that in the Windows version, the ScriptingVBScript.pdf is missing some of what was in the older .odt, such as operations.

PhotoLine installes a "Scripting.zip" in the "Infos" folder.
This ZIP file has all information you need.

Got it, thank you.
Is there a way to include a base64-encoded graphic in a script or an action, and use scripting to paste it into an image without using a separate imge file? Such as a signature or a logo.

Currently not, but I will add a way to open an optionally invisible document from embedded data.
