FotoSketcher 2.90 is officially released. 100% free as always.

Hi!

FotoSketcher 2.90 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:

• New Painting 9 (watercolor) effect
• Automatic check for update can be disabled manually (replace True by False in the last line of the FotoSketcher.ini file)
• Added stronger error checking to prevent FotoSketcher from becoming unresponsive when trying to reach a non existent directory (for instance on a removed flash drive)
• Updated some code for scripts and batch mode
• A few small bug fixes (new bugs always crop up...)
• Corrected the Korean language file

A special thank you to users Matthew and Ruth for their help in finding a nasty bug in the early beta version ;-)

Enjoy :)

David

P.S. If you like FotoSketcher and feel generous, don't hesitate to fuel my cafeine addiction by buying me a nice cup of coffee (I drink tea too!).
