v2010.127 10/15/10 Low v2010.127 fixes a bug related to thumbnails not updating after using the blemish tool on raw photos via the batch editor.
v2010.126 10/13/10 Low v2010.126 fixes some minor glitches on the image editor preview window and a few other windows/dialogs.
v2010.125 10/06/10 Med v2010.125 fixes a bug that was causing v2010.124 to not copy the AWB setting properly across multiple raw photos.
v2010.124 10/05/10 Low v2010.124 includes an AWB option on the raw refine dialog: check AWB to allow Qimage to do its own automatic white balance calculation based on image data.  This version also improves visibility of the raw refine dialog on low resolution displays.
v2010.123 10/04/10 Low v2010.123 includes the following:
  • Raw highlight recovery: A highlight recovery option has been added to the raw refine dialog: clicking once on a tile in the exposure grid exposes for that area of the image as always, but now you can click a second time on the same tile to recover maximum highlight detail in the selected area!
  • User sizeable Flash Card Copy/Move dialog: The Flash Card Copy/Move dialog can now be sized taller to accommodate more (visible) rows in the operations table.
  • Other improvements: This version also improves some EXIF info/display dialogs.
v2010.122 09/29/10 Low v2010.122 includes the following:
  • Single raw HDR: The raw refine dialog now includes a significantly improved fill light and a new "HDR" slider.  To create high dynamic range photos, simply expose for the highlights when you take your raw photo and then when refining your raw in Qimage Ultimate, add enough fill to brighten the shadows.  Then simply drag the "HDR" slider to the right to recover any lost detail in the highlights by compressing the dynamic range.  By operating only the fill and HDR sliders, its easy to create beautiful HDR photos from a single raw exposure!  In many cases (when dynamic range isn't extreme), single raw HDR photos produce better results than many people are achieving with multiple exposures.  Note: the fill light in both the raw refine dialog and the (non raw) image editor have been improved and may show slight differences from prior versions.  Please double check for proper fill and exposure prior to printing photos when fill light was added in previous versions of Qimage/Qimage Ultimate.
  • Fixes and improvements: Fixed some minor bugs and made some slight improvements to some windows and dialogs.

v2010.121 09/15/10 Low v2010.121 adds two new features related to emailing photos and managing photo albums:
  • Emailing photos: Added the ability to send original photos along with any filters via email.  Simply select thumbnail(s) and then right click and select "Send Via Email".  The new option "Send Original Files - don't convert" will attach the selected photos along with any Qimage raw refinements and (editing) filters that belong to those photos.  This feature is useful when you want to email original photos without converting them to JPEGs, particularly when the recipient owns Qimage and may benefit from your Qimage editing and refinements.
  • Albums: When an album is opened via the "Open Album" button above the thumbnails, a prompt will appear asking if you would like to open the album or the folder IF the album only contains one full folder of images.  This is useful when opening albums created via the "Flash Card Copy/Move" process since it makes finding single download folders easier.
v2010.120 09/14/10 Low v2010.120 fixes a bug related to the new date sorting found in versions 118 and 119.
v2010.119 09/12/10 Low v2010.119 further improves thumbnail sorting by date to account for fast/continuous shooting.

v2010.103 08/03/10 Med v2010.103 includes the following:
  • Raw thumbnail building: New dual stage thumbnail builder builds raw thumbnails much faster.  Start working with your raws and create print jobs right away while Qimage Ultimate builds its raw cache invisibly in the background!
  • Build thumbs/cache for entire folder trees: Simply browse to a folder and click "Thumb Builder" from the top menu and select "Build all thumbs/cache" and Qimage Ultimate will build thumbs/cache for all images in the current folder and all subfolders.  This is a great way to start a thumb/cache build to ensure you don't have to wait when navigating to new folders.  Progress of the build is shown above the thumbnails and you can even navigate away from the thumb/cache building to another folder or even close Qimage Ultimate if you don't want to wait for the build to finish.  To resume building the tree of thumbs/cache, just open the saved album "Thumb Build" with the date/time you started the build.  Qimage Ultimate will pick up right where it left off, and will continue down the tree until it is finished!
  • Thumb/cache management: Added new options under "Utilities", "Manage Thumbs and Raw Cache" to help users manage the files that are thumbed or cached by Qimage Ultimate.
  • Fixes: Fixed some minor bugs and occasional error messages.

  • Print properties (size) popup: Improved the controls found on the "Print Properties" auto-popup panel such as the ability to scroll through sizes with the mouse wheel plus tool button improvements.
  • Faster raw thumb building: Improved thumbnail building (and Lightning Raw caching) speed for raw photos by 15% to 25%.
