FotoSketcher multi-platform work in progress

Hi all,

As you may know, I've started working again on the full rewrite of FotoSketcher to make it multi-platform (and with a more modern and clean codebase).

The desktop (Windows and MacOS) user interface is progressing well, with most basic features now working.

Here is a snapshot of the future interface (placements of many elements will change).

 
Still a long road ahead, but progress is steady.

As for porting the effects, I currently have three or four that are working, but still need optimizing.

A new black and white stippling/dithering effect is now almost ready, here is an example (click on image to see full scale):



All the best,

David

Working on the the future multi-platform version of FotoSketcher

Hi all,

Whilst I'm putting the finishing touches to FotoSketcher 3.99 for Windows, I have also made progress on the future multi-platform version (Windows and MacOS, and possibly mobile as well). 

Here is a teaser: my coding environment ;)


All the best,

David

FotoSketcher 3.98 alpha 3 available for testing

Hi all,

An early test version of FotoSketcher 3.98 is available for download here: https://fotosketcher.com/FotoSketcher_3.98_alpha3.exe

It is not yet fully optimized, but should be faster than alpha 1 and alpha 2.

This should solve a persistent and stubborn bug that has been reported by many Windows 11 users, where Painting 5, Painting 6 and Cartoon 1 effects would produce random horizontal lines.

Windows 10 users were unaffected.

 

As usual I would be grateful if you could give me some feedback on this alpha release :)

All the best,

David
