Release notes

Version 5.3 — May 05, 2025 

IMPROVED: Selections now use elliptical feathering.

IMPROVED: Poserframes now use the linear dodge blend mode for the mask layer, resulting in a much more realistic interaction between scanner artifacts and image content in extreme mask positions.

IMPROVED: The script now capped the mask black point relative to the darkest pixel in the image.

IMPROVED: Adjusted scanner artifacts for quite a few mask styles in 2x3, 4x3, 6x7 and square formats.

BUG FIX: A bug preventing the script from saving images has been fixed.

Version 5.2 — April 07, 2025 

NEW: Added a hard-coded setting (neg_rotation) for the amount of rotation Poserframes can randomly add to the negative. For more extreme rotations to be possible the script now rotates your image to match.

NEW: Added a hard-coded setting for the odds of a green film burn (set at 10%).

IMPROVED: For rotation to work with 4x3 masks, I’ve changed to a more robust way of constructing these styles. The downside is that more of your image will now be covered by the admittedly weird negative shapes of the format.

IMPROVED: I’m now using difference clouds for scanner artifacts, for an even more organic look.

CHANGED: Decreased odds of blue artifacts to 10%.

CHANGED: Adjusted actions for 4x3.

Version 5.1.3 — February 14, 2025 

IMPROVED: Further improved the look of film burns, especially on formats other than 2x3. Decreased the likelihood of a green burn.

IMPROVED: Poserframes now handles short scans towards long sides.

NEW: Added garbage collection for better memory management.

Version 5.1 — February 09, 2025 

NEW: Poserframes now styles short scans in a more realistic way.

Version 5 — January 06, 2025 

NEW: Poserframes now automatically detects the visual black point of an image and adjusts the rebate black point to match.

NEW: Added an option to apply grain to the entire rebate or just the halation within the rebate.

NEW: Hasselblad 645 negative shapes have been added.

NEW: Individual settings for top, bottom, left, and right mattes are now available, enabling partially cropped looks.

UPDATED: Pentax 645 negative shapes have been enhanced with improved proportions and movement.

UPDATED: Masks for 2x3 styles 1, 3, and 5, as well as 6x7 style 1, have been refined.

UPDATED: The model for rendering scanner artifacts has been reworked.

UPDATED: Poserframes now blends negative shapes using the LINEARLIGHT blend mode for a more realistic appearance.

UPDATED: Negative edges are now burned instead of mask edges.

UPDATED: Poserframes now uses histogram comparison to differentiate color images from black-and-white images.

UPDATED: A small variance in the thickness of cropped borders has been introduced.

UPDATED: An auto setting was added to negative shape variants.

UPDATED: All actions now have force_format enabled by default.

The recipe syntax, all actions, and the documentation have been updated to reflect the new features, including settings for the rebate black point and grain.
