After a small shipping hiatus (heads down, doing the work on some bigger features), v1.6 is out today. Lots of quality of life improvements we really like: Project preferences and memory, collect into groups, and refreshed sidebar and toolbar. aphera.co/changelog/ap...

V1.5 brings histogram, waveform, and color scopes to Aphera, which are useful tools to gauge how “balanced” your image is. We're still fans of letting your eye do the judging though. Take a look in the latest update, now with 30-day trials.

👀 Coming soon (you asked for histogram, but we're doing more if you're used to scopes…)

We were very excited to have @chrisglass.bsky.social as an early beta user, and it's astounding and gratifying to see the many images he's made with Aphera all collected here on his longstanding site (which is brilliant). chrisglass.com/tag/aphera/
