Full-screen mode, Adjustments with mask brushing, and a video player??

Version 2026.10.13

Full-screen mode throughout the app
View → Full Screen, Ctrl+Shift+F, or the new button beside the zoom readout fills your display with whatever you're looking at. It's the same canvas, so your keys keep working, whether you're rating frames in the Library or painting in Retouch. Esc brings you back.

See your adjustments while you refine a mask
A new Overlay checkbox on the brush toolbar, on the "O" key. Turn it off and you see your adjustments through the mask you're painting, instead of the magenta. The sliders stay live while you brush.

StackScore now grades subject movement
If your subject moved between frames, it now shows up in StackScore.

Capture One plug-in for Windows
Windows can now stack straight from Capture One, the way the Mac has. Install it from Integrations → Install Capture One Plug-in…. Then select a bracket and pick Image → Edit With → Stack in Macro Studio (RAW), or (TIFF) to bring your Capture One edits along. Save into the frames' folder and the result lands in your catalog.

Slabs in Retouch will point out a bad frame
If one frame in a slab doesn't line up with the rest, the app tells you and offers to stack the slab again without it.

Streaks along the edges of a stack are gone.
Macro Studio now reads the real picture out past the edge instead of smearing it.

The Library plays video files
Why? Because I wanted to use Macro Studio to review and cull photos and videos of my kid’s sporting events!
