If you run ColorWasher for the first time, the language will be set automatically according to your system language. You can change the language from the Prefs tab sheet.
  • Selections from your graphics application can now be seen in the ColorWasher preview. The color correction is only applied to the selection area in ColorWasher.

  • Right clicking on the Open button will display all presets from the Preset sub folder in a context menu and lets you choose one.

• Improvements:
  • The "Red/Orange Cast" Cast Type now renders more than twice as fast.

• New Features:
  • A second sample area can now be drawn on the preview when holding down the Shift key. The second sample area is a help for difficult photos.

  • The range of the Highlights and Shadows from the Extra tab sliders was extended to allow more extreme adjustments.
  • New "Apply B/W" option on the Prefs tab. If you set it to "Before Correction" and activate the B/W button, the B/W conversion will be done before the correction is applied. That way you can create colored B/W effects with the help of the Color tab features.
  • The Contrast, Exposure and Saturation sliders work non-linear. That means that the lower values respectively middle values are given much more space on the slider bar to make them easier to adjust.
  • Right clicking the Reset button displays a context menu with the option from Prefs > On Reset plus several other options.
  • Shift clicking one of the tab button of the Cast, Color, Brightness or Extras tab sheet will reset the controls on the appropriate tab sheet.

  • New Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black and White histograms.
  • New Prefs Tab Features:
    • New Log Settings check box in the Prefs tab that automatically saves preset files in the logfiles sub folder when pressing OK.

This allows you to find the settings that you applied to certain images later again.
    • New Logged Settings option in the On Start Up combo box of the Prefs tab. If activated, it will automatically open the settings that were applied the last time to the current image. It only works if you previously had the Log Settings check box activated and if you are using Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro.

    • New Logged Settings option in the On Reset combo box of the Prefs tab.

• Improvements:
  • The Auto Contrast feature works more reliable on 16bit images.

  • The slider edit boxes were made smaller and the sliders were made a bit longer.
  • Bug Fix: Cloak Mode didn't work correctly in some applications.

  • Multiple checkbox for comparing original and corrected image side by side
  • Color Cast Statistics: The color cast intensity, the remaining color cast and the effectivity of the cast removal are displayed in percent values.
  • New Info tab sheet that displays the preview rendering time as well as color Information and coordinates while moving the mouse over the preview. There is also a Show Blown Highlights check box and a Drag Output check box for applying the effect while the image is moved in the preview.

    • All controls are now complient to the Windows color sheme. But if you change the Windows color sheme while ColorWasher is running, you need to restart ColorWasher to make it adapt to the new color sheme.
    • "Quick & Easy Mode" was renamed to" Easy Mode" and "Chroma" was renamed to "Sat Fix".
    • A MouseOver effect was added
  • Other Improvements:
    • ColorWasher updates the preview much faster at higher zoom rates, because it now only evaluates the image area that is visible in the preview.
    • ColorWasher always display the whole image in the preview when running it. This is the recommended way to work with it.

Windows Version 1.01 (File Date: March 4, 2003):

Enhancements:

• ColorWasher needs 33% less memory during the final rendering. That means that you can process larger images with the same amount of RAM and avoid using virtual memory which can slow down the rendering.
• The automatic color, contrast and exposure values aren't recalculated during the final rendering. This has the following advantages:

• 25 new color presets

Bug Fixes:

• The Autodetect setting of the Cast Types feature doesn't fail anymore for green color casts when adjusting the color boxes

• No error message when using ColorWasher on certain kind of selections in Paint Shop Pro
• Black-checkbox-problem that occurred in Paint Shop Pro 8 and PhotoPaint 11 under Windows XP was fixed.
