FotoSketcher 3.90 is officially released (Windows version)

Hi all!

FotoSketcher 3.90 for Windows is now officially released!

Head over to https://fotosketcher.com/download-fotosketcher/ to download either the standalone version (no need to install, just run the .exe file) or the version with setup.

Both versions have been digitally signed in order to avoid Windows blocking the download.

Here is a list of all changes and improvements in this release:

Main bug fixes:

• preview would not update when changing a parameter value
• issues when minimizing of the parameter window
• issues with image rotation
• program freeze when going to the fotosketcher.com website from the "About window"
• program would sometimes freeze when changing the opacity of text
  

New features:

• New Painting 11 advanced painterly effect, which allows custom brushes (transparent png images) 
• In addition to Painting 4, possibility to run Painting 9 (watercolor) and the new Painting 11 on the current image, without starting from a blank canvas. This allows much more versatility and is supported in the scripting engine
• Parameter files and script files made with older versions of FotoSketcher can be loaded
• Directories for loading and saving images are saved, allowing easier navigation 
• Directories for loading and saving scripts and custom brushes are also saved

FotoSketcher 3.90 for Windows remains 100% free, even for commercial work (e.g. selling your images produced with FotoSketcher. No royalty or attribution necessary).

Here is an example made with FotoSketcher 3.90 using the new Painting 11 effect, followed by the Painting 9 effect (with the new "Don't erase background" checkbox ticked).

FotoSketcher 3.90 beta 1.0 available for testing

Hi all,

A new version of FotoSketcher for Windows (v 3.90) is ready for testing. 

A stable beta version is available here: https://fotosketcher.com/FotoSketcher_3.90_beta1.0.exe

Main bug fixes:

• preview would not update when changing a parameter value
• issues with the minimizing the parameter window
• issues with image rotation
• program freeze when going to the fotosketcher.com website from the About window

New features:

• Possibility to run Painting 9 (watercolor) on the current image, without starting from a blank canvas (like you could already do in Painting 4). This allows for much more versatility and is supported in the scripting engine. Just add the "Don't erase background" command before running the effect.
  
• A new painterly effect - Painting 11 - with added color variability (which also supports not erasing the background).
  
• For Painting 4, 9 and 11 a new checkbox allows you to choose whether to start from a black background or from the existing image.

Here is an example on the famous parrot with the new Painting 11 effect.

 

As usual for beta version, I would be grateful if you could let me know if you run into any issue or bug :)

All the best and have fun! 

David
