IPACO
The latest online version of IPACO is Version 7.37, with CamCAT Version 5.02 and SignCAT Version 0.09.
This new release of IPACO introduces several new features:
- "Operations/Comparison": This feature allows dynamic comparison of two overlapping images with identical dimensions and orientation. It is automatically activated after one image has been registered with another.
- "Video/Extraction/Extract Image Sequence": This feature now makes it possible to convert a selected video sequence into an animated GIF image.
- HEIF images (.heif and .heic) and RAW image formats (.arw, .cr2, .cr3, .crw, .dng, .nef, .nrw, .orf, .pef, .raf, .rw2, .sr2, .srf, .tif, and .tiff) are now fully supported by IPACO for both import and authentication.
IFOCAT
The IFOCAT sample gallery has been expanded with a new original report. After obtaining high-quality TIFF scans of the famous Santa Ana ("Heflin") photographs from the United States, the IPACO team conducted an in-depth analysis of these images (see here).
CamCAT
The CamCAT 5.02 technical database has been reorganized and enhanced to provide a more efficient service.
