3D TV option
The 3D TV feature displays the camera image and model (together with the inclusions, if any) for stereo viewing. To use the feature, a display with 3D capability must be attached to the computer as second monitor.
...
Note that the photosets are saved as stereo (*.jps, *.pns) by default, unless forced to be mono. This ensures that they can later be viewed as 3D TV too.
Tone Mapping and Autocontrast option
Tone mapping is a method to convert data with greater color depth (12 or 16 bit) to 8 bit. The method is applied only if the camera is set up to work in Mono16 or RGB16 mode.
...
The method offers a variety of options which may be tuned for the best visibility of inclusions. See Tone mapping for more details.
| Note |
|---|
| Note that the tone mapping is applied only to the screen representation. Automatic functions of the program rely on the raw data with their lowest significant bits discarded. |

Focus depth control
New measurement control for focus depth is introduced.

| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No color | Outside the immersion cube |
| Blue | Inside the immersion cube, but outside the stone |
| Cyan | Inside the rough stone, but more than 30 μ from the polished diamond |
| Yellow | Within 30 μ outside the polished diamond |
| Red | Inside the polished diamond |
Improved support of Active diamond during allocation
The following improvements are made to the IGAllocate panel:
...
- Text field below the Active diamond check box displays the name of the active brilliant, that is, the one which is selected on the Diamonds panel. The name is composed of the solution method abbreviation, solution number, and diamond weight. If no diamond is selected, the text field remains empty, and the Active diamond check box is rendered inactive.
- The Scan without allocation check box, when checked, switches off the allocation of inclusions. Thus the scanning process would just take and save the photographs.
- The method of inclusions allocation based on previously saved photos (which is initiated by the From folder button) now considers the state of the Active diamond check box. If the latter is checked, the search for inclusions is now performed only inside the active diamond.
Interface
- Camera mode can now be selected from within the program, rather than set in the *.ini file.
- Exposition length is now displayed beneath the slider.
- Rear lighting LEDs are now controlled separately.
Miscellaneous
- An option of saving photosets in PNG format is introduced.
- Images can now be saved with 16 bits per channel.
Note that IG scanning must be done with 8-bit depth.
Bugfixes
- Occasional crashing upon selecting inclusions with BBox.
- Loading of color photos of enhanced bit depth is fixed.
- Occasional crashing of the program upon autosave when working with models having excessively numerous inclusions is fixed.
- Live video feed failing to work in Cavities mode is fixed.
- Misplacing inclusions when saving model to *.dmc is fixed.
- Occasional instability of linear displacements is fixed.
- Incorrect zoom order change when pressing Ctrl + E in live mode for stereo microscope Leica M205A is fixed.
- Error message appearing while building AutoCavity is fixed.
