Version updates

Version 7.4

This update introduces four major improvements to Darkroom that improve the workflow, the design, and the precision and range of our tools: 1. Bringing our Liquid Glass design update from iPhone onto the Mac and iPad 2. Revamping our white balance tools to make them more accurate and useful, including a new Auto Balance feature. 3. A whole new Curves tool, with unconstrained adjustments and new HSL curves. 4. A new photo strip in preview mode that includes our flag and reject workflow features, making those much more accessible and efficient. The iPhone was already recently updated with a fresh coat of paint, adopting the latest design guidelines for liquid glass. This update brings that same fresh coat of paint to the Mac and to the iPad, making sure that the app feels at home on the latest versions of iPadOS and macOS. The new Curves tool has two major update: 1. Unrestrained point adjustments. By default, points along the curve are fixed to their track like before, but you can now drag horizontally to "unsnap" points and adjust the curve with more freedom. Moreover, points on the curve "float" unless you adjust them manually. This makes it much easier to create natural and smooth curves with more creative freedom. 2. We've added a few new curves, including Saturation vs Saturation, Hue vs Saturation, Luminance vs Saturation, etc. which allow you to add a new dimensionality to your adjustments. This is particularly powerful for those who enjoy making presets, as they now have a far richer set of tools to mimic film effects or more interesting looks that weren't possible before in Darkroom. The new White Balance tool meanwhile adds a color picker and an Auto mode which makes it easier to correct for missed white balance in your photo. Temperature and Tint have similarly been updated to give you a wider range of adjustments to correct for badly exposed images. This is particularly helpful for RAW photos, where it can be easier to take a photo with a widely-mistaken white balance setting. Finally, the new photo strip in the iPhone layout is familiar given how similar it looks to the one in the photos app, but it makes navigating your library while previewing images much more lightweight, and it allows us to move the Review actions of Flag and Reject into more prominent placement to make them more prominent and easier to tap.
