# DAM release notes: August 22, 2023



## New features

### Studio 

Designed with the perfect blend of simplicity and power, Studio allows you to apply transformations to multiple images at once. You can download results in a snap, copy delivery URLs for various sharing needs or create transformation templates to apply at scale.

Transformations that are already available include various cropping styles, background tasks such as background removal and replacement, image overlay application and formatting, AI-driven object removal and recoloring, plus sharpening and brightening enhancements for your images.

## Enhancements

### Retention of deleted user data

Details about deleted users are now retained and made visible within the Console where relevant. This allows you to easily search for items in your product environment associated with deleted users. For example, you can search for folders created by a user who left your company. 

It's important to note that: 

* Once a user has been deleted, items in your product environment can no longer be shared with them.
* Deleted users are clearly identified with a prominent **Inactive** label.

### Image format and quality customization for downloads

You can now quickly adjust the image format and quality before downloading. Access this functionality from the **Download** option of the asset's context menu.

* **Formats**: original (default), JPEG, PNG, PDF.
* **Quality levels**: low, auto, and best (default).
