easyHDR for Mac

New features:

• New 'Colors' parameter for HDR/LDR noise filter. It allows reduction of high ISO color noise as well as reduction of color fringes (lens'es chromatic aberration artifacts),
• Added option to step in the middle of HDR Generation - new button allows applying automatic lens correction and alignment followed by manual cropping and return to HDR generation,
• When loading FITS images, an options dialog with image preview is shown, similar to the RAW import dialog. It allows stretching histogram, setting gamma, correcting white balance, applying calibration frames (darks and flats), etc.,
• Added new tool for creating master calibration frames by stacking multiple dark or flat frames. It is available for both RAW and FITS import (in the dialogs as well as in the main window's 'File' menu),
• It is now also possible to load tone mapping settings from ehpx project files,
• New selectivity options for HDR generation (and stacking) - allows selecting how many brightest or darkest pixels in each location shall be rejected from the merge. It allows some control over fine ghosting, but most importantly it provides a way to automatically reject artifacts caused by hot pixels and satellites in case of astrophotography stacking.

Improvements:

• Switched default RAW demosaicing interpolation algorithm from AHD to DCB (lower moire). Added possibility to select the algorithm (Program Options -> Misc).
• Added the 'last used' preset to the batch processing,
• Added new 'Colors/Sigma' parameter in the 'Bilateral filter' in the 'Postprocessing' tab. Allows reduction of color noise,
• Added option (see Program Options -> Misc) to use the last used preset instead of default when easyHDR starts,
• Improvements in the auto task creator in batch processing,
• Crop tool - added option to keep last used aspect ratio selection.

Other changes:

• Fixed installer problem on Windows when the system's User Name contains Unicode characters (the easyHDR installer could not start),
• Fixed more issues (also possible on macOS) regarding handling of Unicode characters in file paths, especially for the color management support (still there might be trouble with OpenEXR & JPEG2000 handling, in such a case please move the images to folders that do not contain characters not supported by currently set operating system region/language),
• Repaired some workspace display glitches - i.e. the view was sometimes not updated after image transformation,
• Repaired white balance sample picker in RAW load dialog, which was not sampling smoothened area, it could have also failed when preview image was switched,
• Fixed loading grayscale TIFF images,
• Fixed sorting of image items with the same EV in the input images list,
• Updated LensFun database with new camera and lens definitions for lens correction,
• Updated LibRAW for new camera RAW support,
• Updated LittleCMS library (color management).
