This release introduces several new editing tools and workflow refinements to help make your photo editing and library management a bit smoother. I have focused on expanding the creative options with a preset intensity slider and a global hue adjustment, alongside adding helpful navigation features like quick bottombar filters and folder sorting. Behind the scenes, I worked on addressing background indexing issues and ensuring folder image counts update correctly. Finally, I am glad to make RapidRAW accessible to more users by adding support for Korean and Traditional Chinese.
Sometimes a preset is a bit too strong or too subtle. To give you better control, I have added an intensity slider that appears when you select a preset, allowing you to fine-tune its overall strength to better fit your photo: There's a new global hue slider in the color adjustments panel. This new control allows you to shift the overall color tones in your image for quick color corrections or creative adjustments: To save you from constantly switching screens, I added quick filter options directly to the bottombar. Now you can easily filter your current image list without needing to navigate back to the main library settings: To help keep your workspace organized, you can now customize how the folder tree sorts your directories. You can choose the ordering option that works best for your library structure: To make RapidRAW more accessible to photographers worldwide, I have added translation support for two new languages:
