Hi all,
Here's a quick preview of what's coming in FotoSketcher 4.70.
AVIF support
FotoSketcher will now open .avif images. This modern format is increasingly common, especially for photos from recent phones and images downloaded from the web, so you'll no longer need to convert them before starting a painting. Please note that AVIF is supported for opening only.
Affinity brushes
You'll be able to import your own custom brushes in the .afbrushes format used by Affinity. If you already have a collection of Affinity brushes you love, you can now bring them straight into FotoSketcher and use them in your artwork.
New Crosshatch effect
A brand new Crosshatch effect (in b&w and colour) joins the Sketch & Drawing category.
A slightly more compact interface
I've tidied up the interface to give your image a little more room. The separate rotation buttons have been combined into a single one that handles rotating left, rotating right and fine rotation all in one place.
As always, thank you for your feedback and ideas, which continue to shape where FotoSketcher goes next. I'll post again as soon as 4.70 is ready to download.

With every new update i'm always hoping that Painting 4 & Painting 10 of the older 3.xx version will find it's way into the new release. That's the only reason i haven't really upgraded yet. Those two painting effects are my favorite ones and i can't seem to reproduce the effect in the new version. Is there any roadmap where putting these effects in the new version is on the list? FotoSketchers old and new version is an impressive piece of software.
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks! Yes, Painting 4 is definitely on my list (and also possibly Painting 10, but probably modified quite a bit). As you know, FotoSketcher 3.xx and FotoSketcher Studio 4.xx can coexist as - by design - they install in different directories.
DeleteThanks for your answer David. I'm looking forward seeing that happen 🙂. For now i will keep using 3.98. But i am having fun experimenting with the 4.xx versions. I keep checking updates on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'll post on this blog when I make progress :)
