Description

Mantis Shrimp is an image comparison tool written with the MetalSDK.

Features:

* It's a document application, so you can save your projects and open multiple windows.
* It supports any types of images supported by macOS. That includes JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HDR, EXR, and others.
* It supports automatic linear RGB conversions.
* It supports multiple color spaces, including display-P3 (DCI-P3).
* It comes with multiple presets to compare color channels in different ways.
* It lets you write and use your custom shaders, using Metal shading language. These can be fragment or mesh shaders.
* Shaders come with some predefined functions and variables, including time, so you can use this as a shader sandbox, or "shader toy".
* The editor has some basic cpp-based syntax highlighting, with some Metal keywords.

Check the manual in the support URL for usage instructions and examples.

What's New in Version 1.1.0

Adds support for custom Mesh Shaders. See manual for details.

Some editor improvements:

* The size of each section in the editor can now be adjusted (vertical split view).
* Fixed a bug that left the italic font in comments as 14pt even if the editor font size had changed.
* New controls for mesh shaders.
