Issue was caused by the cache limitor which was removing 4k textures from the
memory when accessing other images.
This is pretty much awful situation and solved by making it so only image sequences
and movies ace cache-guarded.
Could be optimized further so images used by viewport are not being freed, but
that's much more tricky to do..
This is a nice candidature for 'a'.
- deduplicate timecode_simple_string from image.c
- replace V2D_UNIT_SECONDSSEQ with V2D_UNIT_SECONDS
- avoid possible buffer overflow bugs (sprintf -> BLI_snprintf)
- remove option not to use timecode and split into 2 functions
Patch D227 by Andrew Buttery with own refactoring.
Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

Issue was caused by cache limitor removing viewer image buffer
from the memory during compositing. Now made it so all viewer
images are persistent in the memory.
This solves the crash mentioned above and also makes it so
render/compo results are never lost.
Further tweaks are possible, but pretty much happy now, at
least no stoppers for work are there.
Issue seems to be caused by thread-unsafe IMB_freeImBuf.
Now use generic BKE_image_release_ibuf to de-reference
image buffer which was acquired from image datablock.
Summary:
Issue was caused by the same tile being written twice to
the EXR file. This was happening because of partial update
of work-in-progress tiles was merging result to the final
render result in order to make color management pipeline
happy.
We need to avoid such a merges and keep memory usage as
low as possible when Save Buffers is enabled.
Now render pipeline will allocate special display buffer
in render layer which will contain combined pass in the
display space. This keeps memory usage as low as we can
do at this moment.
There's one weak thing which is changing color management
settings during rendering would lead to lossy conversion.
This is because render result's display buffer uses color
space from the time when rendering was invoked.
This is actually what was happening in previous release
already actually so not a big issue.

This was actually a regression after color management re-implementation, need
to copy settings from saved image buffer to an original one since they might
be modified during save.
Also noticed image format planes detection didn't work properly from an image
buffer. Made it so save operator works fine now, but also marked a TODO in
BKE_imbuf_to_image_format() which needs to be investigated further.
Summary:
Mainly addressed to solve old TODO with color managed fallback
to CPU mode when displaying render result during rendering.
That fallback was caused by the fact that partial image update
was always acquiring image buffer for composite output and was
only modifying display buffer directly.
This was a big issue for Cycles rendering which renders layers
one by one and wanted to display progress of each individual
layer. This lead to situations when display buffer was based on
what Cycles passes via RenderResult and didn't take layer/pass
from image editor header into account.
Now made it so image buffer which partial update is operating
with always corresponds to what is set in image editor header.
To make Cycles displaying progress of all the layers one by one
made it so image_rect_update switches image editor user to
newly rendering render layer. It happens only once when render
engine starts rendering next render layer, so should not be
annoying for navigation during rendering.
Additional change to render engines was done to make it so
they're able to merge composite output to final result
without marking tile as done. This is done via do_merge_result
argument to end_result() callback. This argument is optional
so should not break script compatibility.
Additional changes:
- Partial display update for Blender Internal now happens from
the same thread as tile rendering. This makes it so display
conversion (which could be pretty heavy actually) is done in
separate threads. Also gives better UI feedback when rendering
easy scene with small tiles.
- Avoid freeing/allocating byte buffer for render result
if it's owned by the image buffer. Only mark it as invalid
for color management.
Saves loads of buffer re-allocations in cases when having
several image editors opened with render result. This change
in conjunction with the rest of the patch gave around
50%-100% speedup of render time when displaying non-combined
pass during rendering on my laptop.
- Partial display buffer update was wrong for buffers with number
of channels different from 4.
- Remove unused window from RenderJob.
- Made image_buffer_rect_update static since it's only used
in single file.

Summary:
Behaves very much the same as cache for Movie Clip datablock:
- Image now have `MovieCache *cache` field which replaced
legacy `ListBase ibufs`.
This allows image datablock to easily keep of image
buffers which are owned by itself. This field isn't
saved to the file and getting restored on undo steps.
However, cache limit is global for movies, sequences
and image datablocks now. So overall cached image buffers
size will not go above cache limit size in user
preferences.
- Image buffers which are marked as BITMAPDIRTY will never
be freed from the cache.
- Added utility function to iterate over image buffers
saved in movie cache.
- Movie cache cleanup check callback now have ImBuf argument
which can be used in a condition of cleanup.
- Added some utility functions which replaces legacy ibufs
iterations with image cache iteration which happens from
inside a lock.
- Fixed `image_mem_size()` which was only counting one of
the buffers if both float and byte buffer present.
Additional notes:
- `BKE_image_get_first_ibuf()` is rather stupid, but direct
access to ibufs->first was also the same stupid idea.
Would consider avoid this function is another project.
- There are some places which doesn't look threadsafe, but
they already were not so much threadsafe anyway before.
So think not a big deal with solving this later.
Finally solves infinite memory usage by image sequences! :)

- Made tooltip for compression a bit more clear.
- Use default compression of 15%. Gives around
two times boost on export movie file here in
test with only 10% increased file size.

generally speaking, if multilayer image fails to load for current
frame doesn't mean anything bad. It might be used to make it so
image sequence is being alpha-overed somewhere in the middle of
scene time.
Made it so if the whole file fails to load, image node will
deliver black transparent color, the same what happens for
regular (non-multilayer images).
Also needed to tweak code in load_multilayer_sequwnce to make
sure no cached frames are pointing to a freed memory.
We now support the combined layer of Photoshop files (stored as layer 0
in the file). This way users can keep their files as multilayer PSD and
Blender always handle them as flat images.
For perfect alpha this requires an OpenImageIO update:
342cc2633f
Photoshop sample files:
https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio-images
Brecht has some pending fixes to push for OIIO as well, so we may as
well wait to update our libraries.
What works:
===========
* 8bit images (with or without alpha)
* 16bits images (alpha discarded)
* Photoshop files saved with 'Maximum Compatibility'
* Cycles, Blender internal, BGE (and player)
Known limitations
(due to OIIO dependency):
=========================
* Images with less than 4 channels show a wrong thumbnail (bug may be in OIIO)
* Packed images are not supported
* We do not write PSD files.
Note: old Blenders have support for PSD via Quicktime library. But due
to license issues this was discontinued.
Many thanks for Brecht van Lommel for reviewing the patch, suggesting
multiple improvements and to help solving the alpha issue.
forgetting to change it from RGB when painting images or saving renders.
This makes more sense in the new alpha pipeline, renders no longer contain an
alpha channel that does not match the RGB channels, so saving files as RGBA
should give the expected results when opening them in other applications.
Issue was caused by reload caused by input colorspace change.
For generated images generated alpha flags weren't saved to
DNA, which lead to fallback from 32 bit depth to 24 when
doing any kind reload of generated image.
The same alpha loss happens when you save .blend file with
generated images.
Now added generated depth to DNA, so reload image and .blend
file wouldn't loss alpha.
were no properly updating when rendering animations.
The render engine was only updating the image user current frame on images used
by material textures. Now moved the function that updates all from the editors
to blenkernel level and do it on all frame changes.
- pass string size to BLI_timestr() to avoid possible buffer overrun.
- quiet warning for mingw.
- include guards for windows utf conversion funcs.
- fix for mistage in edge-angle-selection check.
- some style cleanup.
