Olivier Berten has just released the first version of SwatchBook — a universal reader/writer and to-be editor of swatches of all sorts. A lot of file formats are already importable: all or most Adobe’s one s, Corel’s CPL, QuarkXPress’s qcl (+cui), GIMP’s gpl etc. Read full announcement here.

Right after GIMP 2.6, UFRaw 0.14, LensFun 0.2.3 and Blender 2.48 our beloved Liquid Rescale hits the shelves with a new stable version 0.5.0. Don’t forget to grab liblqr 0.2.0 as well. Kudos to Carlo Baldassi for this groundbreaking killer plug-in! Content-aware resizing in GIMP keeps getting better 
So, UFRaw 0.14 is out with quite a bit of additions:
- saving options moved to a separate tab of a main window;
- Exif is embedded into TIFF files (you need Exiv2 0.18-pre1 and newer);
- improved greyscale conversion (using a color mixer too);
- experimental LensFun support;
- experimental linear contrast slider;
- color temperature can go up to 15000°K.
And two weeks before that LensFun 0.2.3 was released. I think both Udi and Andrew deserve a really big hug! It’s too easy to forget saying a thank you, when people invest time into work which results we often take for granted.
