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).
Have fun!
David

Photo sketcher is still one of my main tools in my pipeline. It is an absolutely wonderful program. If you learn to use it in an advanced way, using different paint styles with the manual brush and mixing and matching things artistically, you can do absolutely wonderful creative artwork.
Thanks Dave ! 💖🙏😎👍....all best
Thank you!

Hi Charles,
Copy to clipboard in FotoSketcher has not changed since previous versions and seems to work well with most applications.
Maybe this will help? https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/180397-copypaste-problem-in-affinity-photo-204/
Best regards,

merci David, du bon travail, bonne journée👍🖐

Best regards,

Thank you!
Wow, that is cool.
Thank you! Glad that you like FotoSketcher :)
Hello, I really like the software you created. It's really great! But I encountered a problem during the use process. It seems that he cannot recognize the transparency of the image. Is there any way to store transparent PNG.thank you.
Hi beta,
Thank you for your comment. The current Windows version does not support alpha channels (transparency).
However, the future multiplatform version (MacOS + Windows) will retain transparency on some effects.
Is there an option to save the alpha channel when saving a finished (processed) image?
Hi David!
Just discovered your wonderful software through a video on YouTube!
I am Mac M1 user and unfortunately the alpha version is not working for me at all.
I can only see the picture of the parrot and no UI
Is a workaround to solve this ?
thank you so much for releasing your work for free
will make sure to donate a little, once a stable build for Mac comes out
In the past 5 hours, since the installation, I have created the purest works of art from my best snapshots. From zero to Picasso in just a few hours, so to speak, and if I passed the pictures off as my own, I'm sure nobody would notice my cheating. This software is amazingly good!
Mille grazie, Claudio!
@Totoro: sorry, there is no way to save the alpha channel (FotoSketcher works internally on 24bit RGB bitmaps).
@Tigran: The experimental Mac version of FotoSketcher is unfortunately buggy and more of a Proof Of Concept at this stage. However, there is good news, you can run the Windows version of FotoSKetcher on MacOS for free, with https://getwhisky.app/
I have tested on a Mac M1 and it works well.
@Hans and @Claudio: thank you so much! But don't cheat ;) Tell people you used this nice piece of free software called FotoSketcher, LOL
Best regards to all,
David
Thank you dear David for getting back to me.
Never heard about WhiskyApp before. That was super helpful.
Your software is phenomenal. Painting 4 is my favourite brush.
Anyhow as was promised I sent you a small donation.
Hoping you could release a native Mac M1 version at some point.
Knowing that historically Mac community is very design/art oriented I am sure you'll have a huge success there too.
@Tigran: Thank you very much for your feedback and for buying me some nice coffee!
I'm glad that you could use the WhiskyApp to run FotoSketcher on your Mac M1.
