- Pet Eye correction with the Red Eye tool
- Changes to Local Corrections to reset all local corrections, add a Fill Image to the context menu for Radial Filter, add Check All/None buttons to Synchronize, New Preset, Save Settings, and Copy/Paste (Bridge) dialog boxes, X key shortcut using Crop/Straighten tools to flip the aspect ratio and add an explanatory note to the Lens Correction Profile pane to indicate when metadata-based lens profiles have been automatically applied to the image.

BUG FIXES
Bug fixes include:
