I'm happy to present version 1.1 of an image manipulation, and starting from this version, also image cataloging application, ShowGirls. Version 1.1 among many other changes, brings one substantial improvement. Image cataloging functionality. It allows to group images in 'virtual' catalogs (groups and albums), commenting, searching of photos in different physical disc location. Read more for other changes.

From other changes:

- noise filter (color/luminance, strength depending on source pixel luminance, perlin noise)
- image searching functionality. searching by name, comment (file or album), date (file or exif), dimmensions.
- sorting for thumbnail lists
- display options for thumbnail lists (filename/date/dimmensions)
- optimized glow effect
- optimized resampling code. added altivec version.
- batch converter can apply filters during image processing (only a few selected for now).
- it can also process images from given album.
- grayscale filter with adjustable color component weights. don't discard alpha contents
- changed RGB Balance filter to Color Balance filter which should work in similar way to its Photoshop equivalent
- optimized noise reduction filter.
- optimized threshold filter
- optimized overlay image generation
- optimized rgb->hsv conversion (faster hsv balance filter)
- fixed slideshow start/stop after fullscreen/window change
- reimplemented full-dir thumbnail scanning mode. visible entries will be scanned first
- Improved sorting of files with numeric names
- various speed/memory usage optimizations
- state of album manager, color picker and information overlay is saved on application exit (use NOALBUMS tooltype/param to disable opening of album manager)
- Reggae support
