A bit of polish and fixes. Here’s what’s new in this release:

A clearer Develop panel

The right side of Develop has been tidied up:

  • The Editing Stack header is now Editing Layers, with a Save Look button.
  • The Add to Stack menu is now Add Layer, grouped into Color and Texture.
  • The RAW Processing layer now names the engine directly: RAW: Aphera, RAW: Apple, or JPG Image.
  • The Image Formation row is labeled directly: Formation: Aphera 2499 or Formation: Custom LUT.
  • The Contrast tool is now called Grading, and the Ratio slider inside is now called Contrast
  • The Balance panel is open by default.

JPG editing

Using Looks and copy/paste now work across RAW and JPG. Apply a look to a JPG, or copy adjustments from a RAW and paste them onto a JPG (and the reverse) — the edits resolve to something renderable instead of erroring out. A few things behave differently by necessity:

  • Image Formation (Aphera 2499, Custom LUT) apply to RAW only. Apply a look that carries one to a JPG and the formation is skipped; the rest of the look still renders. The Develop panel marks it with a warning.
  • White balance is measured differently for RAW and JPG, so pasting it across that boundary resets it to the target’s neutral.

Other changes

  • Added Lumix V-Log input to LUT-based image formation.
  • File > Import now lists image files only, so stray sidecar files (like XMP) no longer try to import.
  • Fixed bug where two drives sharing a name could flip to an offline status by mistake (often caused by Time Machine)
