Page Navigation tool supports for GIF
You can step through GIF frame-by-frame with the Page Navigation tool. Combining with the available features, you can select and save a particular frame of GIF, pause and resume the animation, or export all frames to files.
Faster loading time for RAW formats
ImageGlass Kobe uses OpenMP version of Magick.NET library, which performs a multithreaded operation on an image to increase the performance for the 64-bit version. The obvious improvement can be seen in RAW formats. It could be two times faster.
More customisation
ImageGlass Kobe adds more options to theme pack that allows you to change colors, replace or totally hide the default logo.
