when is FocalBlade going to be updated?

Post by pachiu »

Herald, when do you expect to release the FocalBlade update that has been mentioned several times over the past two months? I am very eager to see some of the feature improvments mentioned in various threads on this forum!

Thanks!

Andy

Andy, I wanted to release FocalBlade 1.03 yesterday, but as I already did ColorWasher 2.01, it didn't manage it in time. I'll try to get FocalBlade 1.03 ready in a week.

FocalBlade Upgrade.

I wasn't aware that a new version was so close to release----- I just bought Ver 1.02 yesterday.

What's the upgrade policy for recent purchases of 1.02?

FocalBlade Version 1.03 (File Date: July 10, 2004)

-Context menu with settings for landscape, portrait and night photos
appears if you right click on the Auto combo boxes or Screen and Print
buttons.

-Context menu that pops up if you right click the window background.

-Double clicking the FocalBlade letters in the title bar will maximize the
window, double clicking them again will restore the old window size.

-Nonlinear behavior was added to the Radius sliders, the White/Black Halo
sliders, the Smoothness slider, the Remove slider and the Glow slider.
This makes it easier to select important slider values.

-The Manual was extended with a "Sharpening with a Brush" instructions
on the Step by Step page and information about "Non-destructive
Sharpening" and "Sharpening Tips for for Landscape, Portrait, Night
photos" on the Tips page.

-The slider edit boxes were made smaller and the sliders were made
a bit longer.


-Bug Fix: The three Auto options sometimes didn't work with 16-bit images
and deactivated sharpening. It is fixed now.

-Bug Fix: The setting of the Auto Preview check box isn't changed
anymore when opening a preset.

-Bug Fix: The preview isn't recalculated if the whole image is displayed
and you try to the preview image drag with right mouse button.

-Bug Fix: Unsteadiness of progress bar was fixed.

-Bug Fix: Small inaccuracy in Cloak Mode was fixed.

-Bug Fix: The setting of the Auto Preview check box is restored across
sessions


-Demo Version: A white watermark is now applied instead of a red one.

Speaking of updates...why do we not receive emails when an update is available? I did know of 1.03 until just now.

We are sending out update emails to all registered users. If you didn't receive it, there are basically two reasons:

1. Your email address didn't chnage and you didn't notify us about the new one.

2. You or your internet provider uses anti-spam software, which deletes our update email.

Please contact us by email or through http://thepluginsite.com/about/contact.htm
and we can figure out what the problem is.

If you subscribe to the Plugin Newsletter at http://thepluginsite.com/news/
you'll also get informed about new updates of our products.
