PRICE 1.3.0

Finally a new release of PRICE!

Get it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/price/files/1.3.0/

This version improve Mac support quite a bit, Apple made several changes since 10.6 which caused malfunctions and weird symptoms (and which fix occasional stuff on 10.4 too). Both PowerPC and x86 work fine!

Many bug fixes, memory issues, bug in filters fixed.

• Curves can now be manipulated with handles
• Edge/tracing ignores the alpha channel
• Preview supports scaling
• Support by on-load conversion of alpha-first images
• Greyscale and Inversion support 16bit images, highly experimental! The current approach looks unpractical to extend to all filters since the code-path needs to be doubled though.

Custom Edge Tracer, PRICE on GNUstep

Curves Editing, PRICE on MacOS

bilinear filtering

Finally PRICE got proper Bilinear filtering.

This was surely long due! The previous linear h+v filter was little more than a quick hack.

Bilinear filtering is quick, good and quite sharp and works well with scaling between the 50% and the 150% range. It is quite good when downscaling while upscaling beyond a certain range surely has better algorithms.

LaternaMagica and its export tool with automatic constraining will benefit from this new filter too.
