Added Range control setting, important for flat relief extractions, like from textiles.

Displacement and Normal Extract Tool: improved detail control when extracting with the From Shading method.

“Enable Tiling Borders” is now supported in the 3D viewer mode of the Displacement editor, for all tools.

Displacement editor now supports 3D viewer mode for all tools.

This release corrects a bug that in some cases prevented map saving, due to a conflict with the settings of a previous version.

The remains of the map saving bug from build 5.0.38, which could still occur on some rare occasions, are now definitely solved.

Solved a bug causing instability, when interrupting a busy tool to change the editor or close the app.

Fixed shortcut keys bug that would not work in some contexts.

Also fixed a bug causing area selection issues.

Solved Keying tool bug where a previous selection would be kept after starting a new one.

Fixed a bug when running in plug-in mode, that would allow closing of the master image being edited.

Solved issues related to opening and saving of unsupported file formats, which now behave as expected.

Since saving an opened PSD file could not keep the source’s layers and other meta information, this could result in information loss. PSD format is now only supported for opening image maps.Added Preview support for glTF 3D models. Assimp 3D model library updated to 5.1.5.

IBL environment maps: replaced Studio map and added Dusk map, with an overall dimmed tone, better suited to see Lights effects.3D Preview and editor viewer’s key shortcuts changed, for Fit and Reset.The light intensity setting now increases smoothly. 3D Preview object rotation is now biased toward horizontal rotation, which is more intuitive.Added Open Maps selection setting to New Maps window, which selects only the map types currently open.This is safe and avoids the user’s needless confirmations. New file replacement check method: only the filenames changed by the user are checked for already existing files and a confirmation is requested, for both individual files and Automatic Filenames saving.However, clicking Save As keeps selecting all maps for saving, which is the intended action. When Save is clicked, the Save Maps window no longer selects all files for saving (including those without changes), which was wasteful.Displacement editor’s Extract tool: now includes Range control when extracting both Shading and Normals.Pattern editor: tiling quality indicator is now more stable.Seed Wizard’s pattern step and Pattern editor: a nearby mouse click now snaps to sidelines, to avoid changing position on the initial click.In Outside Image selection, control points can now be moved outside the view. The last selected control point can be fine-tuned with the cursor keys. Seed Wizard’s straighten step: clicking near a control point now snaps to it, to avoid initial modification.Adjust tool in the Normal editor now includes an Invert button to invert the implicit surface.Solved Seed Wizard pattern editor bug when selecting the pattern rectangle.Fixed Paint tool bug in high DPI screens where the circle cursor would appear with the wrong radius.Saving is not supported due to the format’s 8-bit limitations. Added explicit support for opening WEBP format images.AO Extraction from Extract 3D Maps now limits the maximum Ray Distance stored from the previous time, to avoid initial long-running extractions.Tiling Synth tool: faster Multi-Generate seed image analysis.

Tiling Synth’s Seed Wizard: improved fisheye/barrel lens distortion correction, more sensitive at small distortion levels.More seed images will now immediately tile, without the need to run Seed Wizard.
