Sorry for the late reply. I’ve noticed that when I move the sharpening sliders nothing happens. I also can’t apply lens correction that section is grayed out. I think you should add a scroll bar in the folder panel to make going through large collections faster.
No worries @Nexis4Jersey, and thanks again for the feedback. HP 0.2.4 is out now, and should hopefully address your issues.
- Lensfun search is more refined - please try again and if still not detected please let me know your camera / lens combo and I’ll investigate further.
- Scroll bar added for folder panel.
- Sharpening is improved and should show better results in preview.
More goodies in 0.2.4:
- Better Lightroom integration, support crops in catalog import and XMP
- Better Lightroom keyboard compatibility
- Monitor ICC profile awareness for Windows and Mac
- History pane in Develop (persisted across sessions)
- Loupe mode for Browse
- Wavelet chroma denoising
- Better image sizing in Browse view
- and more…
Enjoy!

I tried to download the most recent version from the microsoft store and I can’t get it to move past the checking the system requirements. I’m not sure if thats a bug on your on side or microsoft. I haven’t had any issues downloading and installing other apps.
Hi @Nexis4Jersey, I’m sorry to hear about the download issue! It is likely a Microsoft issue and hopefully auto resolves. Just in case, I’ve published a new HP version (0.2.5), and also published the Windows zip file on the Github releases page (Release Happy Photon v0.2.5 · seasalim/happy-photon) in case the Store continues to be problematic for you. Give it another try and hopefully one of the two download mechanisms will work for you.
Bonus: 0.2.5 also includes the first iteration of local edits, with linear and radial masks and exposure/temperature/tint/saturation controls for the local edits.

Handy, clever and very useful. I like this idea, especially for 16bit pipeline. I wouldn’t make it any more complicated; the only feature I can think of is the ability to specify the parameters of exported files more precisely, or better control over masks (painting with a brush, manipulate area with other tools).
Thanks much for the feedback @Dariusz_Duma and for trying it out! Will be fleshing out the local controls a bit more soon. And can certainly add more fine tuning over the export as well. If you have any specifics, please let me know.
My nikon D lenses aren’t being detected by the optics section , could you add a drop down menu so I can add lenses not detected?
Update - HP 0.2.6 is now released with updates for the optics section with a couple of fixes/improvements on lens matching, as well as a dropdown for manually selecting a lens. @Nexis4Jersey hopefully this resolves your issues, please let me know if there are any other non-detection scenarios.
