From Timothy Armes' blog, version 2.0 of LR2/Mogrify has been released.
I'm most excited about the annotation/watermark scaling -- and the compression feature sounds like it could be of particular use here at DPC -- no more trial-and-error fiddling with export quality settings to keep under a specific file size!

The head-line news is that there’s now a compression feature that’ll automatically find the optimum JPEG compression value to produce the best quality image that’s no larger than the requested image size (including metadata). This is very useful for uploading to web sites that limit the maximum file size.
But that’s not all….
Watermarks can now be scaled to the shortest or longest edge, which means they’ll be the same size on landscape and portrait images.
Annotations also receive this feature, and I’ve finally found a solution to the problems with annotations containing accented characters and such like. You should now be able to add any text that you care to!
Finally, LR2/Mogrify will now elide any unnecessary punctuation that results from missing metadata. For example, if your template is “{city}, {state}, {country}” and state happens to be empty, you’d have “Paris, France” and not “Paris, , France”. |
