Versions

Listed are some key additions and modifications since 2.0

2.9 ~ Dec 28 08

Standard :
  • The Cloner, Concentric Wave, Curve Mapper, Pinch and Whirl, and Quantization, may be run 25 times.
  • Removed all annoying "randomly unavailable" limitations
  • Fixed a recuring problem in "extract layer and descendants"
  • "Draw Image Outline" display option (usefull when images have transparency at the edges)
  • reordered "mouse in frame" popup items
  • One significant bug fix. As always follow the universal advise and upgrade to the latest version regularly (this goes for all software by the way).

Pro :

  • <same>

2.8 ~ Nov 17 08

Standard :
  • Transparent svg background gets saved as white
  • Removed "Fade mode -> None" from blitter transition "Blend Range"
  • More input checks
  • A few minor bug fixes
  • Removed possibility of multiple "mouse tools" running at once

Pro :

  • Pixel pasting can be 3D projected into the corners of 4 corner polygon selections (with or without bezier curves!)
  • Option to save as a compressed selective grayscale jpg. This produces a smoother image in a file about the same size as a typical 35% quality jpg
  • Easy and customizable point to point morphing
  • Projection warping
  • Inked Edges filter
  • Dual XY ripple filter
  • Added "Selection -> End Paste" with default shortcut "ctrl + D"

2.7 ~ Oct 22 08

Standard :

  • The Cloner, Concentric Wave, Curve Mapper, Pinch and Whirl, and Quantization, may be run 10 times. Most other processes are made randomly unavailable.
  • Massively reduced memory usage and sped up blittering by fixing a flaw in the blittering architecture. Improvements are most noticeable when performing composite filters (like emboss) over long sequences.
  • Worked around a problem in the Cloner (off by 1 ~ appeared to "wobble" off by one pixel during copying). For some very strange reason this only happened in the compiled version.
  • Upgraded RoiSetSize to the new Sequential processing UIs
  • Upgraded RoiSetLocation to the new Sequential processing UIs
  • Clearer info messages when attempting to run multiple instances
  • Tips dialog
  • Download size has shrunk by about 2mb

Pro :

  • Gif encoder can save fractional frame rates ~ like 0.2 fps (1 frame every 5 seconds)
  • 24 Open Recent items
  • Menus for common save tasks: "File->Save As->avi", "File->Save As->gif", "File->Save As->jpg", "File->Save As->svg"
  • Timed Capture now has pause / resume, and "capture selection area"
  • Timed Capture shows a counter of the number of images grabbed
  • Timed Capture tests the write directory
  • Timed Capture can save as gif (for transparency) as well as jpg
  • Stamp Outline filter
  • New tile filters: (includes basic, blocks, and a fantastic new selective tile algorithm)
  • Color choosers with swatches and HSB.
  • Fg and bg colors can be picked from all image types with the mouse

2.6 ~ Sept 14 08

Standard :

  • "Number of Samples" option added to Linear Blur and Radial Blur (allows faster blurring)
  • New UI and more options for "Shift" (better for sequences)
  • New UI for "Scatter" + minor algorithm change
  • Gif encoder handles partial transparency
  • Gif encoder clears the previous image for playback of an animated gif with transparent pixels
  • More presets and numerous minor usability improvements like Roi -> Morph Range "Do All"
  • Fixed a layer positioning problem in the "Extract Layer + Descendants" command

Pro :

  • Easier purchase ~ key by email instead of another download
  • Staggered Radial Blur, Tiles, and Shear filters
  • Timed Capture tool (this is a very powerful way to grab effects while performing operations like pasting and cloning)
  • Ease of use tools like Size Layer To Parent Layer / Roi

2.5 ~ Aug 30 08

Standard :

  • Smaller redesigned progress indicator window
  • Option to do compressed scratch files. 40% smaller files but slower processing, we implemented this feature for the sake of code completeness but unfortunately it turns out to be inconveniently slow for the typical frame size so it is best not to use it)
  • More detailed progress is shown for many filters
  • The File Opener Options dialog is displayed when dropping multiple files
  • Removed a bug in command sequencer recording of the "Repeat Last Undoable Action" command

Pro :

  • 10 new sequence transition effects that work on all pixel image types, observe selections, and can be combined with other transition effects. Includes effects like bars and tile motion
  • Filters Ice Carving and Wind Blur
  • Pro L&Fs

post release notes :

  • The dialog that appears when clicking "Layers -> New Layer" shows meaningless options such as "Add Textbox(es)". These options do nothing 'cos the code belongs to our upcomming text graphic type which is still being tested, we just forgot to disable it for the release ~ Sorry.

2.4 ~ Aug 21 08

2.4 :

  • This version has the option to manually upgrade only the changed program .exe and config files - (6mb)
  • The "default frame % of image size" is now observed when pasting, dropping, grabbing a screen image, and reverting
  • New commands "delete all previous", "delete all subsequent"
  • Added an "Open Video" item under the file menu
  • Fast new codec code for file previewing most multiframe format image and video files. Project files encoded with this version and later versions will also feature fast previewing. Previous project files are automatically upgraded to this new system when they are re saved with this version or later versions
  • The all important CLX codec can no longer be disabled via the program

2.3 ~ Aug 8 08

2.3 :

  • The "Save Dialog" that appears when closing now has an option to escape shutdown
  • Big improvements to the Cylekx L&F texture rendering, menubar appearance, and a few other minor UI upgrades, plus a new Pro look
  • Graphics Tools menus are mergeable with the main menus. (more desktop space)
  • Removed encoding and decoding of ".tga" files called ".targa" and ".pict" files called ".pic" because of the codec not being able to understand those extensions

2.2 ~ July 19 08

2.2 :

  • Virtualizing (graphics can be automatically or manually shifted from ram to disk and visa versa, longer image sequences are now a reality)

2.1 ~ July 13 08

2.1 :

  • Multiframe Gif encoding
  • Limited AVI encode/decode support (many compressed formats are not supported)
