MIDI2LR Versions Save

New features

• Fine adjustments This enables more precise adjustments of development parameters than were formerly available. There are new commands under the MIDI2LR develop submenu:

  • Fine 2
  • Fine 4
  • Fine 8
  • Fine 16
  • Fine Off
  • Fine Increase
  • Fine Decrease

  that can be assigned to buttons. These buttons engage a "fineness" amount that affects all your adjustments until you cancel fineness. For example, pressing Fine 4 will restrict the editing range to 1/4 of the usual range, centered, if possible, on the current value for all parameters on your controller. Pressing Fine 4 when Fine 4 is already in effect will cancel fineness. Pressing any other Fine number button when Fine 4 is active will change the fineness value to the new number—for example Fine 16 will reduce the editing range to 1/16 of the usual, again, centered on the current value for each parameter. This works the same for any of the Fine number commands: the first press engages that fineness, the second press cancels it, pressing any other fineness value switches to that one. You can also program a Fine Off button that will cancel fineness no matter what the current value is. Alternatively, you can use the Fine Decrease and Fine Increase buttons. Increase doubles fineness (2, 4, 8, 16, etc.) while Fine Decrease halves it. If you hit Fine Decrease when fineness is 2, it turns off the fineness adjustment.

• Quick develop Added smaller increment for exposure: 1/6 stop.

Improvements

• App startup time reduced significantly.
• App menus appear quicker.

Bug fixes

• Crop adjustments Interaction between different adjustments could, on occasion, cause loss of tracking of MIDI controller values, now fixed.

What's Changed

• Fix problems with knobs values restore by @AndyMcFishka in https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/pull/771

New Contributors

• @AndyMcFishka made their first contribution in https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/pull/771

Full Changelog: https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/compare/v5.4.0.0...v6.0.2.0

New features

• AltOption added to basic tone group. This will make parameter adjustments act as if the alt or option key were held down. Adobe Lightroom shows special displays in this situation for some adjustments, such as showing clipping.
• New commands:
  • CurveRefineSaturation
  • Point curve blacks or highlights
  • Mask new: subject, sky, background, object, people
  • Mask add: subject, sky, background, object, people
  • Mask subtract: subject, sky, background, object, people
  • Mask intersect: subject, sky, background, object, people

Improvements

• Experimental local_Whites2012 and local_Blacks2012 now supported officially by Lightroom as local_Whites and local_Blacks. Profiles with older version of names will still work as they are automatically updated when loaded. Recommend resaving any such profiles after they've been loaded to save with new names.
• Supports Process Version 6.
• Slider increase/decrease now works for library view as well as develop.
• Limits can only be set in Develop module and did not show in other modules when options dialog opened. Now a message is informing the user of the reason.
• Display when pickup fails (controller and Lightroom are out of sync) now explains why you are seeing two values.

Bug fixes

• Improved app stability.
• Fixed error when closing Lightroom while app has profile to save.
• More resilient to unannounced changes in parameter handling in Lightroom.
• Masking toggle fixed.
• Error when profile assigned to masking fixed. (6.0.0.0 withdrawn for this bug that was fixed in this point release.)
• Translations updated. MIDI2LR uses Adobe strings for many of the translations, and Adobe sometimes changes the key for finding the string, breaking the translation in MIDI2LR.
• Pressing the Alt (Option) now will change the display while moving a slider in MIDI2LR. The Alt (Option) key is used with several different sliders to show an optional display that highlights what is being changed. This was fixed by Adobe, who addressed the Lightroom bug causing it to previously ignore the key while using MIDI2LR.

Note for हिन्दी:- इंस्टॉलर हिंदी का समर्थन नहीं करता है। हालांकि, आवेदन करता है। MIDI2LR इंस्टॉलर के लिए उपयोग की जाने वाली भाषा की परवाह किए बिना सभी भाषाओं का समर्थन करता है।

Note. This version has a bug in it. Do not assign a profile to masking. This will be fixed, but not for several months, as I am unable to work on development currently.

New features

• New masking commands: Invert group, Duplicate and invert group.
• Local correction (mask) amount.
• Preset amount (when preset amount slider is enabled).
• New languages: हिन्दी, norsk (Bokmål) and polski.
• Note for हिन्दी:- इंस्टॉलर हिंदी का समर्थन नहीं करता है। हालांकि, आवेदन करता है। MIDI2LR इंस्टॉलर के लिए उपयोग की जाने वाली भाषा की परवाह किए बिना सभी भाषाओं का समर्थन करता है।

Improvements

• Reduced load on Lightroom when refreshing MIDI controller data.
• Better shutdown behavior. May reduce shutdown hangs that are occurring with MacOS ARM processors.
• Adobe has improved its documentation of the API. As a result, some reverse-engineered items in MIDI2LR that used to be marked "experimental" are no longer experimental. See list of commands for details.
• CropAngle command has been deprecated for quite some time and doesn't work as reliably as straightenAngle. Now, all uses of CropAngle in a profile will silently be corrected to straightenAngle and CropAngle is removed from the command list.

Bug fixes

• Windows installer now works on Windows 11.

New features

• Next/Previous preset knob control added. Rotate knob to run through all the develop presets that have assignments in MIDI2LR.
• New Help menu item Help → Plug-in Extras → MIDI2LR Generate diagnostic report to save diagnostic log.

Improvements

• DisabledControllers.xml file name was confusing. Now called Controllers.xml, as it lists all controllers, not just disabled ones.
• Log files easier to read.

Bug fixes

• Lightroom error on startup or profile change occurred sporadically for some users. Should be fixed with this release. Please post at https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/discussions if you are still having trouble.
• Constrain to warp command moved to Transforms group (was in Lens Corrections group).
• Crop move horizontally was malfunctioning when crop was angled. Fixed.

Please use 5.3.0.2

Please use 5.3.0.2 instead.

Bug fixes
