What's new in version 7.0
1. Snapshots Management
It is now possible to save until 5 different conversion settings for each shot. Furthermore, the conversion settings include now all the settings that are saved in a recipe (including for instance RGB settings). Actually, the snapshots are saved as separate recipe files in a "Snapshots" subdirectory under the shot directory. So the RAW files are never modified.
- The buttons numbered 1 to 5 at left allow to create the snapshots and those on the right allow to recall them.
- When a snapshot has been created a 'x' button appears allowing to eventually remove the snapshot. Note that when a snapshot is removed, it is sent to the recycle bin. So it is still possible to restore it if it was deleted by mistake.
- When no 'x' button appears, this means that no snapshot has been created for the corresponding button.
- To compare rapidely different created snapshots, you can switch between them by selecting a snapshot and then by using the arrow keys or the mouse wheel to navigate between the snapshots.
2. Recipies Management
It is now possible to have a list of saved recipes that can be reused on different shots. Unlike other DPP++ extensions that appear only in the edit tool, this list is also available in the main window. This allows to select several shots and then apply a given recipe to them just by selecting the corresponding recipe in the list.
If you clic with the right mouse button on the list button, the following menu appears :
This menu allows to :
- Create a new recipe based on the current settings and save it in the recipe list.
- Delete the recipe that is currently selected in the list. If no recipe is selected, this menu item will be grayed. Note that when a recipe is removed from the list, it is sent to the recycle bin. So it is still possible to restore it if it was deleted by mistake. However, you will have to restart DPP++ to see it again in the list.
- Update the recipe that is currently selected in the list with the current conversion settings.
- Rename the recipe that is currently selected in the list.
- Import existing recipes and add them to the recipe list.
- Export the recipe that is currently selected and save it under the desired name and location.
- To compare rapidely the effect of different recipes, you can switch between them by selecting a recipe in the list then by using the arrow keys or the mouse wheel to navigate between the saved recipes.
