FilmLab Desktop 3.1 is out! New features include:
- More output color spaces: In addition to sRGB, you can now export images in the Display P3, Adobe RGB, and ProPhoto RGB color spaces. In addition to giving more headroom for post processing, these wide-gamut color spaces make it possible to see more saturated colors in your film scans, colors that would have been fully realized in the darkroom printing days but which have been muted by scanning systems that only output sRGB color.
- New export dialog adds support for JPEG XL, and allows for adjusting quality settings of JPEG and JPEG XL.
- FilmLab now prompts for you to select/confirm your film stock and backlight profiles when processing color negative scans. This saves the work of having to choose the correct profiles for each scan, and gives better initial result since auto settings can be calculated using the correct profiles.
- In addition, FilmLab now remembers your last used film stock and backlight settings, and defaults to them when editing a new image.
- The folder view now shows filenames (you can turn this off using the menu item View -> Show Filenames in Folder View).
- The new Settings screen lets you choose which GPU and/or graphics technology to use for image processing. This is helpful for debugging issues related to specific graphics cards, or for making FilmLab use your preferred GPU in systems that have more than one.
- Linux support! The Linux release is still in beta and has a couple of known issues. First, the Linux AppImages are compiled against glibc 2.36, which is only present on fairly recent Linux distributions. Second, on Ubuntu and other systems, you may get the error “the SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly.” To work around this, launch the FilmLab appImage with the flag --no-sandbox.
- Many bug fixes (see the release notes for the FilmLab 3.1 beta releases for details)
