Changes since version 1.3:

• speed optimizations including support for SSE instruction set of modern desktop CPUs (Intel Pentium III / AMD Athlon XP or newer)
  • speed improvements range from 30% to over 100% (depending on image size)
• Reshade can now also shrink images: zoom factors smaller than 1 are allowed
  • sharpening (texture) and smoothing also work when down-scaling an image
• go to save folder check box (in save dialog): automatically open an explorer window to the folder you are saving an image to when resizing finishes
• pop-up full file path in status-bar
• more accurate prediction for completion time in the save progress dialog
• better placement for best colors, renamed to best edges (more suitable)
• fixed: save image while refreshing hasn’t finished yet
• fixed: watermark notice on very small images crashed the program sometimes

Changes:

• fixed bug with thumbnail zoom images overlapping each other
• changed to smaller thumbnails so that more images fit on 1024 px wide screens
• fixed bug on gallery page when using Opera internet browser
• updates to details page (where you get to select the resize resolution)
  • resized it to fit on 800 px wide screens
  • added zoom ratio on the image details page to better grasp the level of resizing made
  • changed the way smaller images are placed on the details page
  • changed where quick info is placed on details page; wider container to make it easier to follow the text
  • changed how cropping works when original zoom is selected in the resolution drop-down: now it crops the selection and not just return the original
  • fixed problem when selecting crop for the first time: constrain is automatically visible, the crop box is centered on the image
  • fixed bug with crop tool: sometimes it displayed vertical lines at box margins
• resizes are processed more than twice (sometimes even 3 times) as fast since the last update
• some changes have been made to the smoothing method; the resulting images look less smudged now
