Improved Raw DNG support, Retouch crop shading, Folders & Favorites improvements

Version 2026.08.19

Improved Raw DNG files
Raw DNGs now carry your Retouch, Spot Correct, and Defringe work! (Except Retouching from other Editor images, which have “developed” pixels)

Retouch crop shading
Retouch now shows which part of the Source frame falls outside of the final stack, with a shaded border. This also shows how much movement or focus breathing you have in your stack. Macro Studio crops your image less than other stacks, so you save more of your image!

GPU error detection
Results are now checked for graphics-card transfer errors, so a bad GPU result falls back to the CPU instead of shipping corrupted pixels.

Re-order Folders and Favorites by dragging & dropping

Drag & drop folders from Finder/Explorer into another folder in the Library to move those files inside (also moves them on-disk to match).

"Disable GPU acceleration" in Preferences → Advanced, useful for troubleshooting.
