Version 2.80 (1 May 2008)

1. Optimal handling of the noise in HDR images - final images have much less noise, especially in shadows. Underexposed pixels are not included in the final image to prevent the amplification of the noise during further tone mapping.

2. Fixed compatibility between moving objects handling and dynaimc range expansion (pink artifacts eliminated).

3. Bug fixed in "Use exposure from EXIF" mode.

4. Bug fix: the possibility to start processing before all images are loaded is prevented.

5. Warning displayed when the minimal distance between exposures is above 3 Ev.

6. Fixed preview of the imnages in Radiance HDR format.
