New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.1.2 (Aug 8, 2011)

  • Some of the iPhoto 9 effects 'Lighten', 'Darken', 'Contrast', 'Warmer', 'Cooler' and 'Saturate' were previously mixed up. Now they are being applied correctly.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.1.1 (Jun 27, 2011)

  • New Features:
  • iPhoto Batch Enhancer is ready for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
  • Batch processing now works while iPad, iPhone, cameras or memory cards are attached to your Mac.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Contains a workaround for a problem in iPhoto 9 that would result in the error message 'Can't make of id 1.2345678E+9 of application "iPhoto" into type Unicode text.'. Thanks a lot for all the error reports!

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.1 (Dec 20, 2010)

  • Error messages caused by asynchronous behavior of iPhoto 9 are now suppressed.
  • When applying scripts sometimes a completely different photo other than the first one was altered. This has been fixed.
  • iPhoto's message that you cannot edit movies is now being discarded automatically. When applying scripts this message no longer causes errors.

  • iPhoto Batch Enhancer no longer displays an error message, when the adjust palette values hadn't been copied at least once.
  • In iPhoto 9 the display of the remaining duration no longer vanishes at the beginning of each run.
  • Auto-Updates of iPhoto Batch Enhancer work again.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.9 (Nov 8, 2010)

  • Bug Fixes - Depending on your Mac's language settings applying a Snapshot or enhancing photos could result in an immediate error. This has been fixed now.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.8 (Nov 7, 2010)

  • New Features:
  • iPhoto Batch Enhancer is now compatible with iPhoto 9 (from iLife '11).
  • iPhoto 9 only registers changes in its internal clipboard of adjust values when being restarted - that's the reason why iPhoto 9 restarts more often while iPhoto Batch Enhancer is applying Snapshots.
  • Photos are being duplicated in iPhoto 9 prior to external editing. To aid in differentiating the two copies iPhoto Batch Enhancer assigns the following keywords:
  • Original (IBE) for the original photo
  • Copy (IBE) for the new copy: Since duplication in iPhoto also copies all assigned keywords the new copy may also have the keyword Original (IBE) assigned to it. In addition iPhoto Batch Enhancer adds original and duplicate photo to the following albums (if activated in the preferences):
  • iPhoto Batch Enhancer - Originals
  • iPhoto Batch Enhancer - Copies
  • When a photo is being edited in iPhoto 9 and a single Snapshot is being applied the black, gamma and white values are ignored. Applying them would need a restart of iPhoto, which in turn would save all current changes to that photo.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Applying Snapshots from iPhoto 7 or older now work as expected with saturation values. This problem also manifested itself with the initial Snapshot examples of iPhoto Batch Enhancer.
  • Preservation of saved adjust slider values wit iPhoto now works correctly with saturation.
  • The Script 'Free rotate' now accepts parameters from -360 to 360. Before that it would only accept 1, which might turn out a little bit boring.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.7 (Sep 23, 2010)

  • New Features:
  • Added two new scripts: 'Crop by pixels' and 'Crop by percent'.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Added validation after editing script parameters.
  • Fixed handling of certain definition and saturation values when applying a Snapshot. Thanks to Joe for alerting me to the issue!

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.6 (May 17, 2010)

  • Adds a new script, that lets you change your photo's aspect ratio. The name is 'Crop with format'.
  • In addition to choosing the new aspect ratio you can select whether a photo's portrait or landscape orientation should be preserved.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.5 (May 10, 2010)

  • Bug Fixes - This version corrects a bug from the previous version that could lead to unpredictable results in some cases.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.4 (Apr 6, 2010)

  • New Features:
  • The screen saver no longer starts during batch conversion. This used to be a cause for errors, when the batch job was using other functions than iPhoto's enhance. Plus - the solution doesn't involve any tinkering with your screen saver settings!
  • iPhoto Batch Enhancer now presents a warning in the rare case that program initialization has failed.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • The application's preferences are being read correctly no matter whether boolean values are saved as text or numerical values.
  • The message IBEGenericError is now being replaced by more meaningful text.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.3 (Oct 19, 2009)

  • Moved error reporting and update check to the help menu.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a bug that could pop up on certain system configurations when moving a window.
  • The display of the 'valid until' date of the beta/trial version sometimes was wrong by one day. This has been corrected.
  • Fixed a bug that would display the snapshot window on startup even when it was closed during the last use of the application.
  • A rare error with respect to other applications has been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug that would result in an error when a movie file should have been skipped.

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0 Beta 10 (Jul 20, 2009)

New in iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0 Beta 8 (Mar 22, 2009)

  • Fully compatible with iPhoto 8 (iLife '09)!
  • The beta license is now dynamically loaded from our servers so there's no need to download a new version of the application for prolongation. Important: From now on you will need an online connection when launching a new version of iPhoto Batch Enhancer for the first time.

  • Changed Shortcut for library window from Command-L to Command-B to avoid accidental mix up with iPhoto's Command-L which moves the current photo to the trash.
