FotoSketcher 2.95 is officially released. 100% free as always.

Hi all!

FotoSketcher 2.95 is now officially available for download. As usual, FotoSketcher is 100% free for personal or commercial use.

Head to http://www.fotosketcher.com/download-fotosketcher/ to get either the full version (with setup and uninstall) or the portable version.

Here are the new features and changes in this release:
  • skinned menus for all three themes (tip: press the INS key to cycle through the interface themes)
  • added a new check box to double the size of the manual brush (useful for high resolution images, when the max size was too small)

  • a couple of bug fixes : 
    • the most important bug fix concerns Windows Vista users who were sometimes getting a cryptic error message in French "Index de liste hors limite (-1)". Hopefully this is now solved.
    • the popup menu was showing incorrectly in the scripts window
  • some corrections to the Korean language files (thanks JaeHyung)

Regarding scripts (tip: press F5 to bring up the scripts window), here is a watercolor script which uses the Painting 9 and Painting 1 effects: http://www.fotosketcher.com/watercolor_script.fss (right-click this link and choose "save the target as...").

Here is an example produced with FotoSketcher 2.95 (Painting 9, then Painting 1 on the sky area, using the manual brush):

Have fun!

FotoSketcher 2.95 early beta available for testing ***updated beta #2 available***

Hi,

I've just uploaded an early preview of FotoSketcher 2.95.

There are a few cosmetic adjustments, some tweaks (e.g. to the Painting 9 effect), a new check box to double the size of the manual brush (useful on large pictures) and a couple of bug fixes.

The most important bug fix concerns Windows Vista users who were sometimes getting a cryptic error message in French "Index de liste hors limite (-1)".

Here is the download link if you are brave enough to test this early beta version: http://www.fotosketcher.com/FotoSketcher_2.95_beta2.exe

Here is a painting made from a photo of my hometown, Lyon (or Lyons in English):


Best regards,
