Hi all,
Work on the next version of FotoSketcher Studio is well underway and the first alpha of version 4.50 is now available for download and testing.
Here are the additions in this one:
- New Gouache Paint effect
A new Gouache Paint effect has been added to the Painting category. Gouache sits somewhere between watercolour and oil paint: thick, opaque, with a matte finish. It works especially well on landscapes and still life subjects where you want bold, flat areas of colour with visible brushwork but without the transparency of watercolour.
- Light mode improvements
The light mode introduced in 4.40 has been refined to be easier on the eyes, with softer tones and better contrast throughout the interface.
- Add watermark (image overlay)
The text watermark feature has been expanded: you can now load an image (a logo, a signature, a stamp) and resize and position it anywhere on your picture. Combined with the existing text option, this gives you everything you need to sign or brand your artwork before sharing it.
- Watercolour speed improvement
The Watercolour effect has received a big performance improvement and should run noticeably faster than before. A bug that could cause issues on some CPU configurations (Intel Xeon for instance) has also been fixed (hopefully).
- Other bug fixes
Fixed an issue where the right-click menu in the history gallery would appear in the wrong position when the interface zoom level was set to something other than 100%.
Fixed a rare bug when the Apply effect button would not work until you changed effects or retriggerd a preview.
Fixed a bug preventing the auto-hidden Windows taskbar to pop-up (and bonus fix, the line at the bottom of the screen that allowed this is now hidden).
You can download Alpha 1 (for Windows) here:

This is an early alpha, so there may be rough edges. As always, any feedback is very welcome - bugs, oddities, or anything that does not feel right on your particular setup. Please leave a comment below or send me an email at contact@fotosketcher.com.
Happy testing!
David

how do I switch the painted image right to left , used to be able to just right click to switch images
Hello David, once again, awesome work on these new updates to FotoSketcher! However, I encountered two pop up errors when I tried to open the Script Editor. Below are the errors I received:
Error 1:
Runtime error 231 at 00007FF60E6C0656
Error 2:
Violation d'accès à l'adresse 00007FF60E6B9D3A dans le module 'FotoSketcher.exe' (décalage 9D3A). Lecture de l'adresse 0000019F0F099000.
After clicking OK on the error dialogs, the application suddenly closes.
I hope this helps with debugging. Let me know if you need any additional information or if you'd like me to test anything else.
To switch images in FotoSketcher Studio, simply press the F12 function key (or open the menu by clicking on the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner and choosing Swap Source/Result).
Hi Jack, thank you for your valuable feedback! I could not reproduce the issue, but I have added some code to hopefully prevent the bug and also log some debug info. Can you download 4.50 alpha 1 again (same link as before) and run it? This should create a FotoSketcher_debug.log in your Documents folder. Can you send me this log file by email at contact@fotosketcher.com? Thanks again for your help :)
