The following improvements have been made to Jovian (Project Poutine): Jun. 30 2010 v. 2.0.8 -The internals of the Color Wheel have been re-written to allow for two new features. -The first new feature is the addition of the RYB color model to the wheel, previously the wheel was just RGB. Red, Green and Blue is the color wheel commonly used on computers since they usually deal with RGB values. Whereas Red, Yellow and Blue is the color wheel used by traditional artists since RYB are the pigment primaries. Switching between the two modes is done by clicking the new little icon in the Color Wheel's top-left corner. When in RYB mode, the Color Wheel also includes a segmented color wheel inset inside the normal wheel. The colors in this inner wheel are similar to those that would be found on a painters color wheel. Holding Shift while moving in the color wheel will lock the current color's handle to the center or edge of each segment. -The second new feature is the addition of a Custom complement type. When Custom is selected, you can move each complement handle independent of each other by simply clicking and dragging it around. Switching to the Custom mode will copy the handle locations from the previously selected complement type (when there aren't any custom handles already added). Up to 11 complement handles can be added. Clicking the Remove button will remove the handle that was moved last. Custom Complement handle setups can be stored and recalled using the Preset button. -Doing a Color Match no longer requires that the Library be opened first. Now you can simply click the Current Color swatch and the Library will open up with the Color Match results. -When over-writing a .jcl file, Jovian now writes the data to a temp file instead of directly over the existing file. This is to prevent data loss should anything happen while saving the data. After successfully saving to the temp file, the file names are swapped and then the old file is removed. -When trying to perform an un-supported action in the Library, like adding a folder when nothing is selected. Instead of just nothing happening, the bottom of the Library will display an info message. -This release also includes a change in the documentation. The .pdf file is being dropped in favor of browser-based documentation. This new documentation has also been updated to reflect the changes made in this (and the previous) release. Apr. 16 2009 v. 2.0.7 -The Wavelength scale can now be shown in two different directions, the new (and default) direction has low end (380) on the left and value increase to right. The Options panel includes a new setting for changing the direction back to the old direction, 780 down to 380. Using the new direction makes value changes more consistent when using the Wave mini-slider. -The Gamma In and Out options have been removed from the Options panel, these controls have been redundant for a long time since the same options are controlled via the main interface. -Added a Preset system for the Color Mixer and Palette. Under the Opts and Mixer menu there's a new Presets sub-menu. In this sub-menu is a list of all the Palette (.jcp) or Mixer (.jcm) files that are in the folder that stores the Library files. Clicking one of the entries will load it as the current palette or mix. At the bottom of the menu is an Add Preset option which lets you quickly add a new preset. -Embedded several presets as well as the default Library file inside the program file, when Jovian is run and the files can't be found, these embedded files will be unpacked and used. -Removed the Reset Palette to Default option from the Color Palette's Opts menu, that palette is now included as a preset. -Added a new Blending Type to the Color Mixer: Subtractive. This type behaves differently from the other types because it starts off with the color white and then subtracts each color slot's opposite color from that starting point. Using this type you can make a pretty functional CMYK color mixer (which is one of the included presets). -Changing the folder that contains the Library files will now cause Jovian to copy the Library and preset files to the new location. Apr. 9 2009 v. 2.0.6 -Added a new Tints & Shades mode to the Color Wheel, this new mode shows colors brighter (tints) and darker (shades) than the current color. When in this mode there are two new options: Colors sets the number of colors to show (3 to 11). Offset is the distance (in brightness) between the colors. -Added Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase) file support to the Color Exporter. Importing a .ase file is planned once a viable Lab and CMYK converter is implemented. -Dragging a Library folder onto another folder (so that the destination folder is outlined) and dropping will ask if you want to move just the contents. Clicking Yes, will move the dragged folder's contents to the destination folder (and then remove the empty folder). Clicking No will move the dragged folder to inside the destination folder (which was the previous behavior). -Double-Clicking Jovian's tray icon now opens the color picker instead of disabling the override feature. Enable/Disabling of overriding can still be done via the right-click menu. -Several improvements have been made to the Pick From Image window. The number of samples now ranges from 1 to 10 (and uses a mini-slider). A Save Colors button has been added for saving those samples. Two new buttons, R and E, let you Randomly or Evenly distribute the sample points. Clicking and dragging on the image now shows a zoomed preview of the image akin to the Pick From Screen view. And lastly, holding the spacebar and clicking the image can be used to pan. -Fixed the slowness in the Pick From Screen display when using Windows Vista/7 with Aero enabled. In that configuration it has to capture the screen much less often, thus the zoomed view may seem out of date if something on the screen has changed. While moving the mouse, Jovian will periodically re-capture the screen. When actually sampling the color (clicking the screen or hitting spacebar) it uses the "live" screen image. -The Documentation has been updated and reorganized, further modifications are planned.
