Version 3.80 release candidate available

Hi all,

I've added a few more tweaks in v3.80 and you can now download a stable release candidate (Windows only) here: https://www.fotosketcher.com/FotoSketcher_3.80_RC1.exe

I will detail all the new features upon release, but here are a few elements:

- the custom frame code has been polished and if you load a transparent png frame, FotoSketcher will automatically attempt to fit the image within the transparent area of the png (Autofit checkbox). The preview shows the whole frame.

- I have also added a small feature that can help your colors pop. In the "modify source image" dialog box (which you can open quickly by pressing the F9 function key), a new icon has appeared on the saturation line. Just click it to improve color vibrancy on your source image.

- In the script window (press F5 to open), I have added the possibilty to run the Painting 4 effect without clearing the right-panel image. This allows some new creative ways of mixing effects. Here is an example of a script which takes advantage of this:


If no major bug is found I will officially release v3.80 as soon as I have finished updating some language translations.

Thank you for your great work!

Many of us have been looking forward to your MacOS build - but of course, we have no right to demand it!

Happy to be a beta-tester if that is helpful.

Congratulations David! And thank you for the mini-tutorial in your comments - I have obviously got a lot more to learn about the capabilities of your fine software...

Thanks for this great tool! I loved using it on a Mac and can't wait for your MacOS version.

Thank you :) As you may know I am working on a Mac version, but in the meantime, you can use Parallels Desktop to run the Windows version on your Mac. I've even tested on a MacBook Air 2020 (M1 chip) and it ran fine (and fast)!
