Peakaboo 5.4.0
Peakaboo 5.4 is an incremental release in the Peakaboo 5 series.
Notable Changes
Along with bug fixes and general improvements, Peakaboo 5.4 brings the following notable new features:
- Better Map Selection Tools The map selection tools now allow drawing ellipses and arbitrary shapes. The UI also does a better job of making all of the selection options discoverable.
- Spectrum Background Filter A new filter allows loading a spectrum from a CSV/plaintext file to supply the background removal curve. If more than one spectrum is present in the file, the average is used.
- Compton Scatter Filter A new filter allows removal of Compton scattering noise and the tail signal around it. The filter removes all signal between the specified start and end ranges. It also removes an exponential tail curve on either side, the length of which is user specified.
- Sharpen Map Filter A new map filter allows sharpening map images. This is especially useful as a way to compensate when aggressive smoothing filters are required to remove large amounts of noise.
- Deskew Map Filter Data sets with physically skewed sample rows can be corrected with a new map filter which corrects the skew based on a user-specified skew angle.
- Drag-and-Drop Data Sets Peakaboo can now open data sets by dragging and dropping a link from a website onto the plot area. The same feature also allows drag-and-drop plugin installation from the Plugins dialog.

Peakaboo 5.4 will generally work with plugins from Peakaboo 5.3. If any issues arise, it's always a good idea to check for updates. All first-party plugins are available here.
