0.37.0

• New: Crosstalk matrix editor — a Manage button beside the Process → Crosstalk dropdown opens an editor: browse the bundled matrices (read-only), make an editable copy, adjust the channel-mixing terms with live preview, and save your own profiles as .toml files in the NegPy/crosstalk folder.
• New: Editable Dodge & Burn masks — the panel lists every mask you've drawn; pick one to select it, then reshape it right on the canvas (drag a point to move it, click an edge to add a point, right-click a point to remove it) and tune its sliders — no need to redraw from scratch.
• New: Straighten tool — draw a reference line on the image (ruler button under Geometry → Alignment, key L) and the frame rotates to match: lines near horizontal level the horizon, lines near vertical plumb an edge. Composes with Fine Rotation and the crop rotation handles. @linkmodo
• New: Iron Blue, Copper and Vanadium Green toners on the Toning page (B&W only) — navy shadows, pink-to-brick red with weakened blacks, and green mids over black shadows.
• New: Spot densitometer — hover the image to read the pixel under the cursor: per-channel density above film base (ΔD), the print's reflection density, and its print zone (Zone V = 18% grey); a dot tracks the pixel along the H&D curve.
• New: Zone strip — a Zone System bar under the chart shows how much of the print falls in each zone (0–IX) and flags blocked shadows or blown highlights in red.
• Change: Dust & healing overhaul — Auto Dust, IR removal and the manual Heal tool now share one texture-preserving clone instead of the old smoothed fill: sources are matched to their surroundings, edges feather with brush size, the halo around auto-fixed spots is gone, and hairs and scratches are traced along their length. Detection runs once on the source scan, so the fixed set no longer shifts as you drag sliders and preview heals exactly the spots export does. Auto Dust now works on E-6 slides too.
• Change: Analysis chart redesign — the histogram and the H&D curve merge into a single graph: the print's RGB histogram sits behind the curve, and a second grey histogram along the exposure axis shows where the negative's densities land on the paper curve — how much of the image rides the toe, the straight line or the shoulder, live as you drag Grade or Density (the LIN/LOG toggle scales both). The stats below reduce to the essentials: the negative's density range with a development read (flat / normal / contrasty), exposure in EV, and clipping — the scan-clip warning appears only when the scan actually clips.
• Change: Heal & Scratch tools work fully on the canvas — right-click opens a tool menu (Undo/Clear, Confirm Scratch, and Delete This Heal on a placed patch), the Scratch tool shows a pen cursor, Ctrl+Z undoes the last heal and Backspace steps back a scratch point; the two tools are now mutually exclusive and suspend/restore when you leave and return to their tab. The placed-heal outline no longer sits slightly offset from where you clicked. @linkmodo
• Change: Toner combinations simulate sequential baths — silver claimed by one toner is locked to the ones after it: selenium before sepia protects the shadows, partial sepia plus iron blue splits green. Single-toner looks are unchanged.
• Change: Smoother masks and scratch heals — Dodge & Burn mask outlines and Scratch heal strokes now follow smooth curves through their points instead of straight segments, and the line previews curved as you draw it.
• Change: Fine Rotation now reads clockwise-positive — dragging the slider (or the crop handles) to the right turns the image clockwise on screen, the photographer's convention, under every flip. Saved rotations render exactly as before. @linkmodo
• Change: Customize Shortcuts redesign — shortcuts are grouped into collapsible sections with one shortcut per row, slider rows merged with per-control keyboard step sizes, and a search box to jump to an action; the read-only shortcut overview gets the same press-to-search lookup. @jboneng
• Change: Camera Scanning presets lock the whole exposure — a preset now stores the ISO and aperture the film base was metered at alongside the RGB levels and shutter, and re-asserts all of them before every shot, so a bumped dial between scans can't skew a scan. @light-sntchr
• Change: Snappier camera live view — stepping ISO / shutter / aperture waits for you to pause before writing to the body instead of firing a slow write per click, so rapid stepping settles far quicker and no longer flickers back mid-write. @light-sntchr
• Change: More reliable auto-calibration — per-channel ETTR calibration now copes with dense film bases where one channel is much brighter than another: it tolerates a negligible base clip, pulls the LED down until the base truly stops clipping, and settles on the best shutter instead of oscillating. @light-sntchr
• Change: Smaller TIFF exports — TIFFs now use ZIP (Deflate) compression with a horizontal predictor instead of LZW, typically 15–25% smaller for 16-bit images with no change to the pixels. @RP2
• Fix: camera reconnects cleanly after scanning — closing the Live View or new-preset calibration window now releases the tethered camera session, so bodies (Fuji especially) that stick in tethered-capture mode no longer hang on the next connection. @bbatha
• Fix: export no longer crashes on non-ASCII metadata — accented or non-Latin characters in a source file's EXIF (e.g. Image Description) previously aborted a TIFF export; they're now safely substituted. @RP2
• Fix: a B&W print toned only with gold or split tints rendered grey in preview and export.
• Fix: presets no longer embed the source frame's heal strokes, and Apply settings no longer overwrites other frames' heals.
• Fix: numpad keys bind separately — the shortcut editor no longer collapses Num+9 onto plain 9, so numpad and number-row keys can hold different shortcuts. @jboneng
• Fix: no more 'surround' warning on load — edits saved before the old surround control was removed no longer log an unknown-key warning every time you open a file. @linkmodo
• Fix: edits survive EXIF changes — editing a file's EXIF metadata (e.g. tags) changes its content hash, which previously orphaned its saved edits; NegPy now falls back to matching by file path and re-homes the edits under the new hash. @RP2
• Fix: B&W renders match between CPU and GPU — black-and-white previews and exports no longer come out darker or subtly tinted on the CPU path, and the Analysis histogram is smooth instead of combed.
• Fix: batch export honours the current destination — exporting saved or selected frames now writes them to the destination you've set for the session (e.g. same-as-source) instead of the stale path each frame was last saved with. @RP2
