FotoSketcher download

v3.8 [Jun 7, 2021]
- Solved the occasional error message in French at startup ("n'est pas une valeur entière").
- Solved the issue where on a few machines (on some PCs and Macs using WineHQ), the optimized code for rotating images and brushes did not work correctly (it breaks Pencil Sketch 1 and Painting 4).
- For Linux and MacOS users, FotoSketcher should now run correctly under WineHQ and Crossover.
- Fixed the drop down menus and icons which did not appear correctly in WineHQ.
- In Painting 4, the directory for custom brushes is now saved to avoid unnecessary navigating between folders.
- The main window position is now saved between uses.
- Fixed the dropdown effects menu which sometimes prevented using the vintage or the merge images effect.
- Fixed the Pencil Sketch 2 preview which was not accurate.
- Probably added a bunch new bugs. Will fix in v3.80.

v3.5 [Apr 2, 2020]
- A new Painting 4 effect, which uses a brand new brushstroke placement algorithm. Custom brushes can be used (transparent black & white .png images). I suggest you check out the very thorough tutorial by power user Steven Friedman here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Meexejr0koU (thanks, Steven!).
- Some minor bug fixes and speed enhancements.
- A transparency slider for the text tool, which allows to add subtle signatures or watermarks.

v3.20 [Aug 28, 2015]
This version adds a popup preview window next to the drop down list of effects, improves Windows 10 compatibility and memory management and also solves a number of bugs.

v3.10 [Jul 23, 2015]
New features and changes in version 3.00:
- New Painting 10 (brushstrokes) effect
- New "invert colors" function (in the Edit menu or CTRL I shortcut)
- Integration of the "invert colors" function in the script mode (F5)
- Improved Painting 4 responsiveness
- Cosmetic changes to the user interface (especially when the program is maximized)
- New keyboard shortcuts (left, right and up keys) to move the divider between the left and right panes. Works when the main window is focused, even if an effect is running.

v2.99 [Jul 17, 2014]
Here are the main changes in this release:
- addition of a new zoom function for the preview window, which allows you to test an effect on a larger portion of your source image
- correction of a few bugs, most importantly the impossibility in the text tool to add the letters "r" or "l"
- some user interface improvements.

v2.35 [Mar 29, 2012]
- new "Pencil sketch 4" effect (black & white or color)
- improved "Pen & Ink sketch 1" effect
- some interface improvements
- ini file bug fix (the ini file could not be saved on some versions of Windows, due to UAC)
- for Windows 7 users, a progress report is now shown in the taskbar application icon (useful if you minimize FotoSketcher during a long process). This idea was suggested by a user. Thanks ;-)
- the optional FotoSketcher toolbar setup has also been simplified and clarified
