    • The block list can be managed in the application settings

  • Reduced the amount of empty space at the bottom of the photo stream
  • Further reduced the scrolling speed on macOS to better match other applications
  • Optimized the performance for page transitions to the photo stream

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a possible crash when scanning a large folder of images with different color profiles
  • Fixed multiple occurrences of wrong color output for PSD images that are using a particular transparency channel mode
  • Fixed a crash caused by PSD files containing no mask info section
