iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.1.2 fixes some bugs concerning Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" and iPhoto 9.
Important: From now on support is only available for using iPhoto Batch Enhancer with Mac OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' or Mac OS X 10.7 'Lion' as we don't have the space for other Macintosh configurations. Running the software on older OS versions on Intel or PowerPC-based systems will continue to work, although we won't be able to actively check that for future releases.

iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.1 contains several important bug fixes and can be downloaded now. Enjoy the new version!

11/7/2010 part 2

iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.9 is even more fully compatible with iPhoto 9 (from iLife '11) and can be downloaded now. This version contains a bug fix for Macs with certain language settings.

11/7/2010

iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.8 is fully compatible with iPhoto 9 (from iLife '11) and can be downloaded now. Apart from problem fixes it includes the following changes for the new iPhoto version:

iPhoto 9 only registers changes in its internal clipboard of adjust values when being restarted - that's the reason why iPhoto 9 restarts more often while iPhoto Batch Enhancer is applying Snapshots.
Photos are being duplicated in iPhoto 9 prior to external editing. To aid in differentiating the two copies iPhoto Batch Enhancer assigns the following keywords:
- Original (IBE) for the original photo
- Copy (IBE) for the new copy
Since duplication in iPhoto also copies all assigned keywords the new copy may also have the keyword Original (IBE) assigned to it.
In addition iPhoto Batch Enhancer adds original and duplicate photo to the following albums (if activated in the preferences):
- iPhoto Batch Enhancer - Originals
- iPhoto Batch Enhancer - Copies
When a photo is being edited in iPhoto 9 and a single Snapshot is being applied the black, gamma and white values are ignored. Applying them would need a restart of iPhoto, which in turn would save all current changes to that photo.
iPhoto Batch Enhancer's core funtionality had to be altered to make it work with iPhoto 9. Although I have tested it with many combinations of older iPhoto versions with different versions of Mac OS X there still might be some rough edges. Please do not hesitate to send an error report when you encounter one of those!

Enjoy the new version!

10/24/2010

I have put the new iPhoto version through its paces - it's a nice update with image editing being better integrated than with any previous version. I expect to have all current features of iPhoto Batch Enhancer working with iPhoto '11 in the first week of november. Stay tuned!

10/20/2010 - iLife '11 with iPhoto '11

iPhoto Batch Enhancer at this time is not compatible with the new version of iPhoto! So if you rely on batch conversion with iPhoto Batch Enhancer please do not upgrade to the new iPhoto immediately.
As soon as I had a chance to check out iPhoto '11 I'll be posting news on the next version of iPhoto Batch Enhancer...
