RapidRAW 1.4.7

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 I wanted to get the new denoiser and other improvements out to you before the holidays start :)

Image Denoising

I previously removed the noise reduction controls because the old algorithm killed performance and didn't produce good results. I've now implemented BM3D (Block-matching and 3D filtering) as a dedicated image productivity tool. It is much more effective at removing noise while preserving actual image detail.

White Balance Picker

Added a pipette tool to the White Balance section. You can now pick a neutral reference point in the image to automatically calculate and set the correct temperature and tint.

Reworked Metadata Handling

Hovering over the file name in the toolbar now expands a quick-info widget displaying key shooting data: Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO, and focal length.

I also completely rewrote the backend for metadata saving. It now reliably writes EXIF data to the file during export (if enabled), fixing previous bugs where metadata was often lost.

Reworked Grain

I completely reworked the film grain engine. The previous version suffered from RGB color noise and a visible repeating grid pattern. I fixed the algorithm to generate natural, truly random monochromatic noise without artifacts.

Delete Workflow Improvements

Deleting an image no longer forces the library list to reload. This makes culling and cleaning up your folders significantly smoother.

• Improved mask eraser tool behavior
• ORT v2 migration
• Exposure slider added to masking tools
• Batch export stability improvements & RAM optimization
• New export option added directly to the context menu
• Updated dark mode wallpaper
