Portable Freeware Submission • Re: PhotoDemon - photo editor

• Import PDF documents
• Save and load JPEG-XL images
• Additional image format improvements:
  • WBMP images can now be imported and exported. (This format is ancient and not especially relevant in 2024, but Photoshop supports it natively so PhotoDemon should too!)
  • XBM images can now be imported. (This format is ancient and not especially relevant in 2024, but GIMP supports it natively so PhotoDemon should too!)
  • Photoshop (PSD) file support continues to improve with every release.
  • Lossless JPEG (JPEG-LS) support has been expanded and improved.
  • OpenRaster (ORA) and comic book archives (CBZ) now support Zip64-encoded files.
  • SVG support has seen a number of performance and feature improvements, and SVGs can now be batch-converted to other formats.
  • EMF and WMF images now support custom size at import-time (and batch process support).
  • Icon (ICO) files have seen many improvements, including quality improvements and new features when creating icons from scratch.
  • WebP images received security and performance improvements.
  • Like JPEG-XL images, AVIF images also lean on third-party libraries (due to the complexity of the format). PhotoDemon can also auto-update the required AVIF libraries independently from PhotoDemon itself.
• “Magnetic” snapping and smart guides for the Move tool
• Move tool can now show distances
• Redesigned and expanded File > Export menu
• File > Save and File > Save as improvements
• Right-click menus for the layer toolbox
• New Advanced text layer features
• Many updates to localization files and features
• Additional upgrades and improvements:
  • Copy + Paste now retains editable text layers.
  • A number of UI animations now use adaptive frame rates for more fluidity on high-end systems, and better responsiveness on low-end systems.
  • Rulers (and distance displays on the Move tool) can now use Percent as a measurement option.
  • The main window now allows you to drag+drop files onto more UI targets.
  • “Behind” is now available as a blend mode, allowing you to paint “behind” a given layer.
  • The 3rd-party ExifTool library (used to handle image metadata) has seen many updates, and it is now capable of in-place upgrades.
  • Layers > Add > from File now supports adding multiple files at once
  • 32-bit Photoshop filters have received expanded support.
  • The Hand tool now natively supports arrow key movement.
  • Effects > Transform > Perspective now supports custom forshortening.
  • Running PhotoDemon under Linux has improved thanks to better Wine support.
  • Windows XP support has improved, particularly its behavior with 3rd-party libraries that have XP-specific limitations.
