Acorn 8.1

Flying Meat has issued Acorn 8.1 with feature enhancements and bug fixes for the image editor. The release adds a new Crop to Original Bounds filter that cuts out all the pixels outside the original image, improves the RAW Import window with more options, brings a Scrub Zoom preference to the Zoom palette that enables you to zoom in and out smoothly by clicking and dragging, expands the range for RGB sliders in the Grayscale Filter, adds an autosave preference in Settings (off for all, on for native Acorn images, or on for all images), ensures PSD files correctly import masks for group layers, improves auto-scrolling the canvas when working with various tools, fixes a bug with the Levels filter that could impact other layers, tweaks the Fuzz Stroke filter to fix artifacts when the stroke was set to certain sizes, and resolves an issue with how WebP files are detected when running macOS 14 Sonoma.
