VERSION 1.4.10 - Improved the blurring algorithm and set a default blur radius of 8 (16 since we are dealing with RAW files) along the PDAF banding direction to reduce noise in the final image while still correcting banding. NOTE: owners of CFV-50c which does not suffer from PDAF banding issues should instead set blur radius to 64 along both directions to further reduce noise in the final image, or to 0 along both directions to correct dust spots and sensor tiling. VERSION 1.4.9 - Fixed a bug where source file and lcc file text boxes extended beyond the right edge of the application window when the file path was too long. - Now all sidecar files associated to the source image are automatically replicated and associated to the produced one. This preserves the editing history. VERSION 1.4.8 - Added an image auto-gain feature to LCC processing. This will help fixing pink casts on clipped highlights. - Fixed a bug where values histogram values below black level where cut off (they should stay in case of an image exposure increase). - Fixed a bug where increasing the Ref Point Gain (%) value produced color casts. VERSION 1.4.7 - Added a new operation for a applying a chosen LCC to a chosen image. VERSION 1.4.6 - More proportional post-LCC image noise removal algorithm which generates less artifacts. - Complete refactoring of the oversampling feature which has been turned into a parametric weight shaping algorithm. VERSION 1.4.4 - A bug has been fixed in the blur algorithm that caused a artifacts in the final image. - Now all LCC controls are all available even when selecting "fix structural issue only" as they may be useful in some special circumstances. VERSION 1.4.3 - A bug has been fixed where a missing library would make the application crash when applying LCC blurring and/or RAW image denoise. VERSION 1.4.0 - Bilateral noise reduction has been added, which is applied to the final image in proportion to the level of local LCC correction. - The LCC blur algorithm has been improved to slightly reduce the processing time. VERSION 1.3.1b - Small bug fixes. VERSION 1.3.0b - Introduced a new LCC correction mode "Fix structural issues only" which only corrects banding, sensor tiling and small dust spots delegating the conventional LCC correction to an external RAW developer as it would normally be. - Added a new batch operation for applying a single LCC image to a series of images. - Partial rework of the oversampling algorithms (still work in progress, it may not work well at current status). VERSION 1.2.9b - Removed licensing system and made the tool free. VERSION 1.2.8b - Now HBComposer supports a trial license model which starts from the subscription moment (no fixed expiration). A request form is provided on the website. VERSION 1.2.7b - Fixed a memory heap allocation issue that could cause the application to crash on some systems during batch LCC operations. VERSION 1.2.6b - Bug fixes and performance improvements. VERSION 1.2.5b - Added full average and point-with-radius as reference selections for LCC correction. - Added LCC gain parameter to fine-tune the LCC application in extreme degraded LCCs. VERSION 1.2.4b - First public release
