+like the Thai and Arabic faces: desktop release builds embed it, and a web build made with
+`CRAFT_FONTS_DIR` keeps it in the WASM (`crates/engine/build.rs`). The release web build doesn't use

An unedited raw's **grid thumbnail is that camera JPEG itself**, so no sensor decode is scheduled behind it (`Session::embedded_thumb_is_final`, `grid::skips_the_real_render`): drawing a 512 px thumbnail used to decode the whole raw — 45 s a photo at 1.2 MB/s, 8.3 GB for a 149-raw folder — and the queue it built delayed the render the user was waiting for. Stand-ins and grid thumbnails decode the smallest embedded JPEG that covers the requested size and is a copy of the largest (aspect ratio within 1 %, same component count), not always the largest, on the whole-file and the plan route alike: an A7R VI's 1616 × 1080 JPEG (0.3 MB) instead of its 9984 × 6656 one (5.6 MB), and mid-sized NEF / RW2 JPEGs |

The loupe's cost follows the canvas, not the zoom (issue #323): the whole frame is rendered at about canvas size (at most the 2560 px preview source level unless a larger Preview size is chosen, and never above the GPU's texture side), and once the view is zoomed well past that (more than 25 %) the window on screen is rendered too, cut from a frame of at most the photo's own pixels, so beyond 100 % the GPU magnifies it (`region::plan`, `RenderRequest::window`, `Session::region_job`, `crates/ui-egui/src/region.rs`); 1:1 and 2:1–8:1 are sharp at any photo size. A slider tick takes 7–12 ms on a 1400 × 900 canvas and 11–25 ms on a 2800 × 1700 one at 100 % and 400 % of a 24 MP photo (M1 Max, GPU, `profile_slider_drag`); about 20–25 ms at 100 % on the big canvas is over a 16 ms frame. A slider drag renders the whole frame at full size where the GPU draws the view, so the fit view stays sharp while dragging, and at 0.6 of it where that would be too slow: on the CPU, with soft proofing or the HDR range shown, or for a control whose full-size drafts on this photo went over the 16 ms slider budget in an earlier drag (a LUT profile or refined mask the CPU renders, a photo past a GPU limit, a slow GPU); a draft's time is its render plus the frame that uploads and shows it. The size is chosen when a drag starts and kept until it ends, unless its full-size drafts take more than twice the budget, when it drops to 0.6 after three of them (`region::DragScale`, issue #330). Zoomed in, the whole-frame draft under the window is the 0.6 one (only the histogram and the window's stand-in use it). Render workers convert the pixels for their textures, not the UI thread. Handing GPU renders to egui without a CPU readback is #1228. A continuous pinch holds the render sizes (and the windows there are) until it is quiet. A fit view on a canvas up to about 3200 px (a Retina Mac) never decodes the original; larger displays get a window at fit, which does. Diagnostic overlays that need whole-frame context (Visualize Spots, Point Color range, HDR range) and photos whose spots or Auto Mask strokes read too far for one window (only photos longer than 8192 px) render the whole frame at the size it is drawn, as before windows; while a preset or profile is hovered, or over a picture that is not the frame (an unsupported raw's embedded JPEG), the whole frame stays canvas-sized. Before/After (side by side, stacked, `\\` and both wipes) gets the same windows on both sides, clipped to their pane or side of the line. Windows render on the GPU like whole frames (equivalence-tested against the CPU), in the browser build too (windows no wider than its GPU's texture side, at most 3072 px), and are not made while hovering a look or showing a diagnostic overlay, nor over a picture that is not the frame (an unsupported raw's embedded JPEG with another crop). No texture is larger than the GPU allows. Spots and Auto Mask brushes work while what a window reads fits one render (8192 px along an axis, 4096 in the browser): the window grows to hold the spot and its source patch, or the dabs near it, and if that would take more (a clone from far away at 8:1) the loupe keeps the whole-frame render instead, and spots with an automatic source pick it from a fixed-size render of the whole frame (so a window's choice can differ from a whole-frame render's, which picks at its own resolution). The wide stages (dehaze, clarity, highlights/shadows base) and Refine Edges on masks read a window margin capped at 768 px; measured on hard-edged blocks that costs at most a few levels at 8:1. the histogram and Navigator come from the whole-frame render. Compare and Reference get the same windows, one per pane (`Slot::CompareRegion`, `panels/compare.rs`), over each pane's whole-frame render (at most 2560 px); while either view is open two originals stay decoded (`MediaCache::set_full_capacity`), so one pane's window does not evict the other's source; a pinch, or a slider drag on the active photo in Reference, keeps the windows there are until it ends. Mask overlays and soft proofing get the same windows (the window carries the overlay or the proof; the proof renders on the CPU, so a tick at 100 % on a 1400 × 900 canvas takes about 36 ms instead of a full-size 24 MP proof). Verified: a 1:1 window of a 24 MP photo with tone and colour edits is the full-size export to within one level (`one_to_one_window_pixels_are_export_pixels`). Measured on Linux (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Radeon 8060S, GPU, `profile_slider_drag`): median tick→shown 7 ms at fit, 33 ms at 100 % and 6 ms at 400 % on 1400 × 900; 21 ms at 100 % and 9 ms at 400 % on 2800 × 1700; 36 ms at 100 % with soft proof.

A slow verdict is per photo and control (the same control on another photo, or another control on this one, is timed afresh) and expires: after 30 s a drag tries full size again, the wait doubling after each slow retry up to 240 s. Only a drag timed at full size changes it: one whose full-size drafts' median time (leaving out the first) is at most 20 ms forgets it; a drag that drafts small from its start (while the verdict holds, or where the GPU does not draw the view) or times fewer than two full-size drafts leaves it unchanged. At most 256 (photo, control) pairs are remembered, the oldest forgotten first. The size is chosen when a drag starts and kept until it ends, unless its full-size drafts take more than twice the budget, when it drops to 0.6 after three of them (`region::DragScale`, issue #330).

A DNG's `ProfileGainTableMap` / `ProfileGainTableMap2` (Apple ProRAW's local tone map; both versions, DNG 1.7 precedence, the file's byte order with a big-endian fallback) is read and written back by DNG export and not rendered by default, as Lightroom Classic renders ProRAW without it (measured on one CC0 iPhone 12 Pro ProRAW); the Profile option "Camera local tone mapping" (`profile.camera_local_tone`, per photo, off by default, `crates/pipeline/src/local_tone.rs`) renders it as the camera does, per output pixel in the scene-linear stage (CPU, also under the GPU path); Sony ARW, Nikon NEF, Panasonic RW2, Fujifilm RAF, Canon CR3 and CR2, Pentax PEF, Samsung SRW and Olympus ORF get a guarded file-local fit to their own embedded JPEG — chromaticity matrix + hue/saturation/value table + tone and chroma curves, relative WB — or, with a bundled or local per-model profile pooled from many photos (`lightcraft-cli calibrate`, ARW, NEF and RAF so far, `crates/engine/src/camera_profiles.rs`), the profile's colour and only their own tone/chroma curves (on 29 held-out ILCE-7M4 photos mean ΔE vs the camera JPEG 3.54 → 3.10; bundled ILCE-7CR from 125 photos: 26 held-out 4.07 → 3.29, and every one of the 131 photos accepted, 8 of which fell back to neutral without it; bundled ILCA-99M2 from 144 photos: 30 held-out 5.11 → 4.87, 25 of them closer); the tone fit also uses dark JPEG samples excluded from colour training, so deep shadows follow the camera toe (#1307); Sony ARWs shot with DRO on (maker note `0xb025`, on by default) keep that colour but their tone curve is lowered to Sony's curve without DRO, whose lifted shadows are in the camera JPEG only (issue #244: 8 ILCE-7CR photos +6.4 → +0.8 L* from Lightroom's default, median ΔE 7.5 → 3.3); 52 models without a profile whose JPEG fit fails (or that have no usable JPEG) start from DNG-style matrices fitted to their measured spectral sensitivities instead of the neutral fallback (`crates/raw/src/spectral.rs`, rawtoaces-data v1.1.0, Apache-2.0, aliases included; not yet measured against the camera JPEG); ARW: on 10 public raw.pixls.us samples from 8 bodies 7 fits were accepted, mean ΔE vs the camera JPEG 17–26 → 3–10; NEF: 13 of 13 decodable samples (D750, D780, D850, D7500, Z 50 and local D7500 shots) accepted, ΔE 13–46 → 3–8 (issue #150); RW2 / RWL: 140 of 174 public samples accepted, from 93 of the 114 bodies with a preview, median ΔE 5.0 with matching lightness (13 of the 14 corpus files with a preview: ΔE 9.6–27 → 2.8–8.9; most rejections are compacts and kit zooms whose camera JPEG is distortion-corrected); a fit that fails the gates on all pixels is retried away from edges, where a lens-corrected camera JPEG still lines up (issue #232: the six distortion-corrected public ILCE-7RM2 samples ΔE 16.6–16.9 → 3.7–3.8, the corpus GX80 19.1 → 7.9); RAF: bundled X-H2S/X-T4 profiles from 201/545 photos; on 150 withheld files mean ΔE improves slightly over per-file fitting (X-H2S 1.70 → 1.62, X-T4 2.43 → 2.34); 23 of 24 references from 13 bodies accepted, including the dark X-H2S samples (8.74 → 2.25); ORF: the 3 decodable corpus files (E-1, E-400, XZ-2) accepted (`docs/camera-preview-colour.md`); a raw whose camera JPEG is black and white (a monochrome picture style) takes only the JPEG's tone curve, on the camera profile's, spectral or neutral colour (issue #577); this is not measured camera calibration; other raws and rejected fits use a neutral fallback (camera RGB ≈ linear sRGB, `matrix_is_fallback`) with as-shot white balance, so colours are muted and not accurate. Needs our own per-camera calibration: matrices the files carry themselves (e.g. Olympus `ColorMatrix`), fitting each camera to its own embedded JPEG, then chart shots. Adobe matrices / DCPs are never used. Biggest image-quality gap today; ILCE-7RM6: per-file fit now runs on previews above 64 MP, a pooled profile (46 photos) was tried and not bundled (withheld ΔE 5.71 → 6.40, 11 of 15 regressed), kept with smart previews (see docs/camera-preview-colour.md); the fit pairs the sensor moved into the file's lens-warp geometry when that lines up better with a lens-corrected camera JPEG (29 CC0 raws: alignment +0.13, mean ΔE 3.73 → 3.61); bundled NIKON Z 6_2 profile (296 photos; 59 held-back photos mean ΔE 2.73 → 2.54) NIKON Z 8 profile (261 photos; 55 held back 2.55 → 2.33) and NIKON D5300 profile (264 photos; 53 held back 2.86 → 2.66) |

Every way of setting the angle (rotate handle, Straighten slider, Angle field, `crop.straighten`, `crop.set {angle}`, and the generic `develop.set` / `develop.adjust` / `develop.quickAdjust` / `develop.resetControl` on `crop.angle`, as MCP, the control channel and `lightcraft-cli render --set` use them) keeps the crop if it still fits, else shrinks it about its own centre, keeping its aspect, until it fits; the full photo (or a crop an earlier turn shrank to the largest of its aspect) stays the largest, so it grows back towards 0° (issue #1388), and no other crop ever grows (issue #1794: a crop dragged in from a corner turned into nearly the whole photo) (`CropGeometry::with_angle`, `crates/engine/src/tests_crop_angle.rs`; before issue #742 the generic path left the box, and the export, past the photo with smeared edge pixels in the corners).

 # What's new in LightCraft
 
+## 2026-10-19
+
+### Hidden Local locations come back one at a time
+- With several locations removed from Local, "Show N hidden locations" now lists them, so each comes back on its own
+  (Restore All is there too). The row used to bring every hidden location back at once (issue #2114).
+
+## 2026-10-18
+
+### Fill Location from GPS: no more neighbouring town in City
+- The offline place names list towns of 15,000 people or more, so a photo taken in a smaller one got the nearest larger
+  town in City, sometimes another municipality (issue #2242). The Fill Location tooltip and the command help now say so,
+  and `metadata.reverseGeocode` takes `maxDistance` (metres): past it, City stays empty (State and Country still fill)
+  and the reply names the town it found as `nearestCity`.
+
+### A preset that couldn't be saved is no longer lost silently
+- When presets.json can't be written (a full disk, or the browser's storage quota), the new or changed preset now
+  counts as unsaved, like other changes: the top bar warns, saving is retried, and quitting asks first (issue #2266).
+  Before, the failure was only logged, and the preset could be lost without any warning.
+
+### Portrait crop ratios stay portrait
+- A crop ratio no longer flips to the photo's orientation (issue #2253): after X turns the crop portrait, picking
+  another ratio (4 × 5, 2 × 3…) keeps it portrait, as in Lightroom, and a Custom ratio taller than wide gives a
+  portrait crop.
+
+## 2026-10-15
+
+### Constrain Crop tightens the crop you see
+- Geometry ▸ Constrain Crop now changes the crop itself, as in Lightroom (issue #1927). Ticking it, or moving a
+  Geometry slider, Upright or a lens correction while it is ticked, shrinks the crop about its centre until the blank
+  corners left by the correction are gone, and the Crop tool shows the tighter crop. Before, it only applied when the
+  photo was shown outside the Crop tool, so in the Crop panel, where the checkbox is, nothing seemed to change. A crop
+  you draw by hand is kept as drawn, and unticking keeps the tighter crop.
+
+### Web: no backup that misses unsaved changes
+- In the browser version, File ▸ Back Up Library… no longer reports success while a save is failing (storage full or
+  cleared): the backup copies the stored library, so it left out the changes that couldn't be saved (issue #1508). It
+  now refuses to start and says how many changes are unsaved and why. LightCraft retries the save with every change;
+  back up once nothing is left unsaved.
+
+### Web: an unreadable library is not opened
+- In the browser version, a library file that exists but can't be read at start-up is no longer taken for a missing
+  one (issue #1507). LightCraft used to open the library without it, showing an incomplete catalog that the next save
+  would write over the stored copy. It now leaves the library unopened, saves nothing and says which file couldn't be
+  read; reload the page to try again.
