• Color profiles embedded in image files can be replaced. Exif and GPS information are also displayed.
• You can save image files with/without Exif and GPS information.
• Images with CMYK color space can be dealt easily.
• SVG image files can be displayed. Note that, however, all kinds of SVG cannot be sidplayed correctly (it depends on WebKit).

• Displayed images can be easily enlarged / shrinked by new mouse operation.
• The interface to see files in a directory sequentially by using full-screen is greatly changed. You can see two images at the same time as an opened book, and two or more pieces be seen in fast-forwarding.
• The effect of obtaining the contour from an image is updated.
• New effect called "Cartoon" is added. You can add the contour to cartoon and posterize effects.
• Blur effect has variations: Gaussian filter, Median filter, and Kuwahara filter.
