Changelog

All notable changes to SilverNode are documented here.

[0.9.4] - 2026-10-20

🚨 Demosaic Hotpatch! A bug in Halide’s OpenCL codegen caused the previous version to incorrectly demosaic your photos.

A release about finding your photos: the file browser lists folders in order and says how many RAW files each one holds.

🐛 Fixed

• RAW demosaicing fixed on OpenCL; this was a bug in the OpenCL backend of Halide.

🚀 Added

• RAW file counts in the file browser. Every folder shows on the right of its row how many RAW files it holds, so you can see where the photos are before opening anything. Folders you haven’t opened yet are counted in the background, after everything else SilverNode is doing. The count makes way for the Open button when you hover the row, and a folder without RAW files shows none.

🔧 Changed

• The file browser lists folders alphabetically, upper and lower case together, instead of in whatever order the disk kept them.
• Scrollbars no longer cover what they scroll. Lists and panels that scroll leave room beside the scrollbar, so the end of a row, like a folder’s RAW file count, stays readable.

[0.9.3] - 2026-10-19

A release about choices: alternative edits of one photo, a white balance picker, skin tone tools on the vectorscope, three new export formats, and tooltips on every control that needs one.

🚀 Added

• Alternative edits. A photo can have several edits side by side: the Edits button in Develop’s toolbar makes, opens, renames and deletes them, and decides which ones also show up in the Grid. The button says which edit is open (“Edits (2/3)”), a Grid tile shows a stack and how many edits its photo has, and the Grid outlines the edits of one photo that sit next to each other. The crown on an edit makes it the only one of its photo in the Grid. Shift+1 to Shift+5 open the first five edits, and the rest is under Photo > Edits. Undo stays on the edit you made the change on, and exports named after the file use the edit’s name, or the file name with an “_N” suffix when the photo has several edits.
• White balance picker. A square follows the pointer over the photo, and a click makes what is under it neutral, whatever white balance the photo already had. Next to the square it shows the temperature and tint a click would give. Take it out with I, Shift+T, Develop > Pick white balance or the eyedropper beside Temperature and Tint; the scroll wheel and [ ] size the square, and Escape, a right click or I put it away. With Preview while picking white balance on, or while Shift is held, the photo shows the result as the square moves.
• Skin Tones. Three sliders under Primary Calibration, made for putting skin on the vectorscope’s skin-tone line: Skin Hue turns skin tones together, Unify Reds and Unify Yellows pull the reddish or yellowish side of skin toward the line. Holding Escape over them shows the photo without them, leaving the rest of the primary calibration on.
• Faces on the vectorscope. Each face the AI detected is drawn on the vectorscope as the spread of its colors, so you can see where skin lands next to the skin-tone line. Vectorscope face sampling in the settings sets how finely each face is sampled.
• New export formats. WebP, about a third smaller than JPEG 4:2:0 for the same fidelity, with EXIF; WebP lossless, every pixel kept and about 15% smaller than PNG; and EXR, linear light as the scene had it, before the tone curve and with highlights brighter than white kept, for lighting 3D scenes and compositing. JPEG comes as two formats, JPEG 4:4:4 and JPEG 4:2:0. Above quality 95 the export panel says what the extra size buys: nothing anyone can see, at about three times the bytes at 100.
• Tooltips. Toolbar and panel buttons that run a command show its name, icon and every key bound to it, and the controls that don’t explain themselves say what they are. Every adjustment’s tooltip says what it does technically: what it works on, in which space or unit, and what its ends mean. The Tips button’s tooltip lists the tips on offer. All of it in every language.
• A rubber band for key drags. While a key drag with the Blender-style bindings hides the pointer, a band stretches from where it went into hiding to where it is now. Show a rubber band during a key drag in the settings turns it off.
• Shift locks a Blender-style drag to one axis, where the drag drives two values: the values snap to the cross through where the drag started.
• Rating and shot info above the quick preview, in fixed places so they don’t move while you flip through photos or rate them.
• Grid grouping commands. Grouping the Grid and jumping between its groups are commands under View; Cmd+PageUp and Cmd+PageDown jump to the previous and next group as shown on screen, skipping empty ones.
• On macOS, the window’s three buttons sit in the toolbar, left of the logo, and the toolbar drags the window as a title bar would.

🔧 Changed

• A Develop menu, next to Photo, holds what changes how a photo looks: rotating, resetting, copying and pasting adjustments, the white balance picker and AutoEdit. Photo keeps the photos themselves; Select all and Clear selection moved into it, and the Select menu is gone.
• Export to clipboard always writes files and puts them on the clipboard, a single photo too, so what you paste keeps its file name, format and EXIF.
• JPEG 4:2:0 is the export format chosen to start with, in the export panel and for every quick export.
• JPEG 4:4:4 files are about half the size: they are now stored as YCbCr, as JPEG 4:2:0 already was, with no difference anyone can see.
• The color wheels have yellow up and blue down, as the vectorscope has them. Your edits look the same.
• A prettier Light color scheme: paper rather than concrete, with lighter popups, quieter widgets and near-black text.
• AutoEdit aims skin a little more toward magenta.
• The skin-tone line on the vectorscope sits at 45 degrees, where the video convention and skin measurements put it.

⚡ Performance

• The photo you edit no longer waits behind loading thumbnails. It always gets a slot to render in, so Grid edits with the Blender-style bindings stay smooth when only a few photos may be processed at once.
• Faster demosaicing.
• A smaller program: SilverNode itself is about 15% smaller than in v0.9.2: 16% on Windows and Linux PCs and on Apple Silicon Macs, 18% on Intel Macs, and 9% on ARM Windows and Linux. The downloads are 4 to 8% smaller.

🐛 Fixed

• Exporting with Save EXIF metadata turned off no longer crashes.
• Colors of DNG files above 2900 K. Most DNGs carry two color calibrations, under tungsten and daylight; the daylight one was never blended in, so every photo warmer-lit than tungsten was rendered with the tungsten matrix alone.
• Colors of cameras with two calibrations. The two were blended at different scales, the larger pulling every color its way, and the as-shot white balance stopped short of settling.
• Primary Calibration works as intended. Its math had been wrong since it was added, so edits that use it may look different now.
• Quitting is quick. It no longer finishes the loads and renders of every queued photo first, which took as long as loading a large folder, and a photo paused in the Grid could make it hang for good.
• A thumbnail you edit while it is rendering is rendered again, instead of keeping the old picture.
• The before/after fade keeps the crop’s shape. Halfway through, the crop collapsed to a sliver, and the before view now fits the whole uncropped photo to the screen.
• A click on the very middle of a pie menu runs its center item: the copy menu’s Copy! did nothing.
• The usage hints popup lets keyboard shortcuts through to the rest of SilverNode while it is open.
• Crash reports from macOS have a stack trace again, which makes them useful for finding what went wrong.

[0.9.2] - 2026-10-02

A release about how SilverNode looks and how it is reached: two new looks for the interface, the gradient actions in the command palette, and smoother scrolling through the adjustments.

🚀 Added

• Very dark colors. A near-black color scheme with dimmed text, for editing in a dim room: Colors: Very dark in the View menu. A new setting, Auto: dark color scheme, picks whether Auto turns to Dark or to Very dark when your system is dark.
• The Darkroom theme. A new look for the whole interface, next to Modern and Blender, after the instruments of a photographic darkroom: lens-scale sliders with a detent at their default, glowing neon accents on deep indigo, cut corners, and curves drawn as a lit scope trace. Pick Theme: Darkroom in the View menu; switching themes keeps your color scheme and accent color.
• The gradient actions are commands. Adding a linear, radial or outside radial gradient, and deleting, resetting, inverting or duplicating the selected one, are now in the command palette while gradient mode is on, and can be bound to a key. Every pie menu now runs the same commands as the menus and the keys, so an action does the same thing however you reach it.
• Start-up options. --fullscreen=<display> opens fullscreen on a given display, by its number or (part of) its name, and --list-displays lists them. --ui-scale and --fps set the interface scale and the frame rate limit for one session, without changing your settings.

🔧 Changed

• Blender-style bindings drive both values of a pair at once by default: up and down for the first, sideways for the second, so Temperature and Tint, or a strength and its radius, are set in one motion. The other behaviours are still in the settings, and a behaviour you chose before stays as it was.
• Reset All in Develop’s right-click menu now leaves the rotation alone, as it already did in the Grid and in the Photo menu.
• The interface contrast setting is gone: each color scheme now sets the contrast between panels itself.

⚡ Performance

• Scrolling through the adjustments no longer stutters at the color wheels. A color wheel built its background in the frame it scrolled into view, and four at once held up three frames; they are now prepared while SilverNode is idle.

🐛 Fixed

• VSync stays on after resizing the window or going fullscreen. Before, frames were paced by the frame limiter alone, about 70 per second on a 60 Hz display, and every sixth frame was dropped.
• Quitting right after starting no longer crashes while the file browser is still reading a large folder tree.
• The command palette’s “Search commands” hint no longer stays next to what you type.

🧹 Removed

• The --include-jpeg start-up option: it changed a saved setting from the command line. Turn on Include JPEG files in the settings instead.

[0.9.1] - 2026-09-29

A small maintenance release.

🐛 Fixed

• Linux builds find their bundled libraries again. The packaged executable now looks next to itself for the libraries that ship with it.
• Exported JPEGs no longer carry empty text tags. Text fields without content are left out of the EXIF data instead of being written as zero-length entries, which some viewers and editors complained about.
• HiDPI screens no longer log a graphics warning at every resize.

[0.9.0] - 2026-09-23

The biggest SilverNode release yet. Make any change fearlessly: everything can now be undone and redone. Watch your colours come alive in the new vectorscope. Every action is at your fingertips, through a searchable command palette, a full menu bar, and shortcuts you make your own. And SilverNode now speaks your language — eighteen of them.

🚀 Added

• Undo and redo for everything: adjustments, ratings, AutoEdit (one batch is one step), and the rest.
• Vectorscope. Next to the histogram, plotting the colour of the rendered photo on the Oklab chroma plane, with bright colours weighing more than shadows. Either scope can be switched off, which skips its computation entirely, or pulled out to float over the photo as a transparent overlay. With enough room, the two scopes sit side by side.
• Gradient panel. Selecting a gradient brings up a floating panel with a slider for each of its adjustments, with the slider hints to match. It moves out of the way when it covers the gradient’s handles, can be dragged or pinned in place, and has a button to reset the gradient.
• Command registry. Every action is a named command with an icon, a menu home and a keybinding. One place to find them, one place to change them.
• Command palette. Open it with Ctrl-P, : or F3. Search commands by name, see the menu path they live under and the shortcut that runs them.
• Menu bar, driven by the registry. The menus are built from the same command list, so a command can never go missing from them. On macOS, the menu is handed to the system menu bar.
• Configurable keybindings. Shortcuts are read from keymap.json.
• Eighteen languages. The interface, the settings, the tips and the error messages are translated into Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Polish, Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, Russian, Turkish and Simplified Chinese. The language can be changed from View > Language without restarting.
• Drag read-out for Blender-style bindings. While a key drag is running, a popup at the cursor names what is being adjusted and mirrors its sliders and colour wheels; in the grid, it lists the effects and the keys that drive them. Can be turned off in the settings.
• Adjustments in columns. View > Adjustments in columns flows the panel’s sections into as many columns as its width allows, instead of one long strip to scroll.
• Rate from the grid by clicking the stars on a tile.
• Export to clipboard.
• The before/after toggle now includes the crop, and fades between the two.
• Shift-arrows extend the selection in the grid; dropping several files at once selects them all.
• Hints open on F1.
• About SilverNode in the Help menu, with the version, and the people SilverNode owes a thank-you.

🔧 Changed

• A new Bayer demosaic pipeline that handles every colour filter alignment with one code path, which shrinks the binary considerably.
• The resize options on export start from sensible defaults.
• Floating panels can be dragged by their surface.
• The workspace buttons swapped places, and the grid toolbar is anchored to the right.
• Lens makers are sorted by name in the lens correction list.
• Window resizing is smooth on Wayland.

⚡ Performance

• Folders load in parallel: sidecar files are read across threads, and the file browser no longer stats for them.
• Camera and lens lookup in the lens correction database is now O(log n) instead of a linear scan.
• Far less memory is held over a long session. Memory that is no longer in use is now also handed back to the system in the background.
• JSON reading and writing moved from nlohmann::json to yyjson.

🐛 Fixed

• Every photo and edit of a previously opened folder, with their thumbnails and textures, was kept in memory for the rest of the session.
• A deadlock on Wayland between the job system and the window’s event handling.
• Lowering the denoise slider left stale denoised tiles at some zoom levels.
• The thumbnail database is opened exclusively, so a cloud-sync client such as Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox can no longer back up a half-written copy of it.
• A gradient’s adjustments could be dragged out of their valid range.
• Dragging and dropping a file whose name is not ASCII works on Windows.
• A crash in OpenCL denoising caused by too large a work size.
• The tiled denoise upload path used the wrong buffer shape.
• A use-after-free when changing the language.
• The 45:35 aspect ratio was not restored when reopening a photo.
• Hints were not animated when the interactive-hints setting was off.
• The UI Quality setting did not reset.
• The export queue button was not translated.
• Quitting with the group-by list open could crash.
• A click inside a submenu dismissed the menu it belonged to, and a click on a button in a floating panel started dragging the panel.
• The mouse release at the end of an adjustment drag, and events in the preview popup, reached widgets they were not meant for.
• Localized maker and model tags were loaded as duplicate lens aliases.
• Saved file browser paths are decoded correctly on load.
• Sync renders the photo before opening the file it is about to overwrite.
• Jobs that fail to produce their result now tell the consumers waiting on it.

[0.8.9] - 2026-08-10

Export learned to resize, and the grid learned to group.

🚀 Added

• Resize on export: fit, by width, by height, by shortest edge or by longest edge.
• Group photos in the grid by several criteria.
• A 45:35 crop ratio, for ID photos.

🔧 Changed

• An invalid licence now says which part of it is the problem.
• The zoom and crop logic was cleaned up considerably.

🐛 Fixed

• The slider hint for Scale-in was not updated.
• The Prepare Email dialog crashed on Windows.
• Paths that are not plain ASCII are handled correctly on Windows, throughout both SilverNode and NeonRAW.
• Crash reports write stack traces in object-mode addresses (RVA) rather than virtual addresses, so they can be symbolized.
• A combobox acting as a spinner sanitizes what it is given.
• Popups dismiss more predictably.

[0.8.8] - 2026-07-31

🚀 Added

• Crash reporting by email: on a crash or a failed assert, SilverNode prepares a mail to support with the details already filled in.

🐛 Fixed

• Auto-crop now follows the lens distortion correction, instead of leaving the bent edges in frame.
• Metal is preferred over OpenCL on macOS.
• Zoom is retriggered when the lens corrections change.

[0.8.7] - 2026-07-27

Batch editing from the grid became fast.

⚡ Performance

• Batch editing in the grid is much faster: everything it needs is saved up front, so it no longer goes back to the files for each photo.

🔧 Changed

• Moving and scaling a crop responds more finely to the mouse.

🐛 Fixed

• The contrast before/after toggle.
• A remembered copy checkbox could not be unremembered.
• Zoom behaved strangely when Z was released outside the image canvas.
• The scroll wheel consumed Shift and Alt key events that were not its own.

[0.8.6] - 2026-07-18

A release about the time between opening a folder and seeing the photos.

⚡ Performance

• Demosaicing is faster on the CPU, and there is now a performance test guarding it.
• Thumbnails load faster out of the thumbnail database.
• Directory loading is faster.
• The Halide parallel-for claims blocks of indices rather than single ones, so the threads spend their time working instead of contending.

🔧 Changed

• Startup failures are reported in a dialog instead of only in the log.
• The timings of the hints were retuned.

🐛 Fixed

• A bug in the large memory allocator where it was bypassed, caught by the tests.
• Keybindings stayed dead while the preview popup was open.
• Hints did not appear as hot.
• Events behind a popup propagated when they should not have; a popup now says what it lets through.
• find_next_char_start() on UTF-8 text.

[0.8.5] - 2026-07-10

🚀 Added

• Screenshots on F12.
• Keyboard shortcuts for the pie menus.
• Ctrl-Shift-C copies all adjustments.

🔧 Changed

• The shading over the cropped-away region is brighter, so it stays visible against a dark background.

🐛 Fixed

• Pasting into a text field works, and can trim surrounding space.
• The lensfun database is listed in the acknowledgements.
• Dependencies were linked twice.
