New version of CMYKTool was released this weekend and features a new feature that helps masking sharp transitions.

This new option is called "Transition width" and it does its best to hide sharp transitions in "Hold black" and "Hold gray" conversion modes by means of interpolating between normal and adjusted values for gray and nearly black colors;

Other changes in this version are:

• you can now remove images from the list in the left sidebar;
• conversion was fixed when using "Overprint" mode;
• job cancelling was improved;
• CMYKTool now better works with really large images on 32bit systems.

Available downloads are:

• source code
• a build for Windows
