Update log
13-Jul-10 - Updated in v1.1.5
- Adjustments to the algorithm of the Tone Compressor method intended to improve the rendering with default settings and to extend the range of the Tonal Range Compression setting.
- Improved robustness of the "by matching feature" alignment.
- Bug fixed: When processing in Aperture 3 with the Tone Compressor tone mapping method and the source images were aligned with cropping, the output image showed scrambled.
 
16-Nov-09 - Updated in v1.1
- Multi-threading support for tone mapping: complete multi-threading for Tone Compressor method and partial for Details Enhancer method.
- Improved alignment of "by matching features" method.
- Details Enhancer's Light Smoothing setting (renamed "Smoothing" in v1.1) has now two modes. The new mode is in the form of a slider and produces a slightly different effect. The behavior of previous versions corresponds to the "Light" mode which is in the form of five buttons named "Min", "Low", "Mid", "High" and "Max".
- Details Enhancer's Highlights Smoothness setting (i.e. the setting that avoids grey highlights and preserves "clean" skies) has been significantly improved.
- Added built-in presets for Details Enhancer. Presets are "Natural", "Smooth Skies", "Painterly" and "Grunge", and are accessible from the Presets combo-box.
