Version 1.03 for Windows - December 8, 2007

Important Improvements:


• Windows Vista Compatibility: HyperTyle does not crash anymore under Windows Vista with 2 GB or more RAM available.
• DEP Compatibility: If Data Execution Protection (DEP) is activated in the Windows Control Panel, HyperTyle still works.
• HyperTyle now supports the Photoshop memory management, which avoids memory problems with large images in Photoshop.
• Improved compatibility with some applications, e.g. color dialogs now work in GIMP and PhotoBrush and preview scrolling now works in SignLab and Image Analyzer.
• At the end of the installation the Plugin Installer tool now lets you copy the HyperTyle plugin conveniently to your image application's plugin folder.
  
• Preview zooms smaller than 100% now correctly display the final result. The Cut Off, Offset X and Offset Y sliders on the Texture tab sheet do not show a different effect for different preview zoom anymore.
• The "Stretch To Image" check box now works again.
• The filter settings (the HyperTyle.ini and MainEffects.ini files) are now saved in the user's application data folder in case the folder of the HyperTyle plugin is not accessible. This avoids problems if you are not logged in as an administrator. The .ini files are only saved on exit and not for every preview update.
• HyperTyle looks for a missing texture in more folders, so there is a bigger chance that it will be found. There are also no repeated messages about missing textures anymore.
• 15 new preset files


Cosmetic Changes:

• The preview cross is better visible.
• The Show Grid check box displays a dotted grid that is not influenced by the blend mode. Shift clicking the check box to choose a gird color does not work anymore.
• Bug Fix: The texture thumbnail on the Texture tab sheet does not vanish anymore.
• Bug Fix: Exiting the plugin with the ESC key does not cause a messed up dialog anymore when running the plugin again.
• The HyperTyle version number is now displayed on the menu in the host application.
• The Reset button now also resets the Equalize check box.
• The labels of check boxes can now be clicked to activate or deactivate the check box.
• The edit boxes of sliders have a new look.
• The texture path on the Texture tab sheet is now displayed fully.
• The manual was updated.
  
  

Demo version :

• The demo version can now be applied to the image. It displays a watermark on the rendered image. All textures and presets of the full version are now included.
• There is a Freeware main effect in the demo version, which does not apply a watermark.

 

 

Version 1.02 for Windows - March 19, 2003



• Black-Checkbox-Problem under Windows XP was fixed
• Tab sheets aren't displayed mixed up anymore after exiting HyperTyle with Cancel
• New mouse cursor for placing a preview cross. The busy cursor is displayed during the preview calculation.
• When positing the preview cross by right clicking on the preview, the cross is now placed when you release the right mouse button. This should give you a better control over the placement.

• If the image was smaller than the texture, the zoom slider didn't work correctly in a certain range. This was fixed.

 

 

Version 1.01 for Windows - October 31, 2002

• Support for various new image formats: JPG, PSD, PNG, PCX, PCD, TGA, TIF, WMF, EMF, AMF and WBMP
  • All images are automatically converted to 24bit, only JPG 8-bit, PNG Gray, PSD Grayscale and WBMP files are opened as 8-bit grayscaled images.
  • Extended BMP Support: for 2 colors, 16 colors and 256 colors.
  • PSD Files: for images with 8-bit per channel all types except LAB and Multichannel are supported, for images with 16-bit per channel only RGB and Grayscaled ones are accepted.
  • PCD files are automatically opened at a resolution of 384 x 256 pixel.
  • WMF, EMF and AMF files are automatically opened a white background. If there's no size information they are opened at a size of 256 x 256 pixels.
  • LZW-TIFF and GIF files aren't supported, because of the required Unisys license
• The textures are now supplied as JPG files which decreases download time dramatically.
• Each main effect has its own control values now. That means that the values of the Main Effects controls are saved when another main effect is chosen and restored when the same main effect is chosen again. This avoids adjusting sliders when switching between main effects.
• Edge main effects:
  • Right clicking on the preview lets you place the center of the edge anywhere on the image. Holding the Ctl key and right clicking on the preview places the center in the middle of the image.
• "Paint - Radial" main effect:
• Right clicking on the preview lets move the center of the effect. Holding the Ctl key and right clicking on the preview places the center in the middle of the image.
• The range of the Angular and Radial sliders of the has been extended. This offers more effect possibilities.
• Smaller Improvements:
  • Equalize check box on the Texture tab sheet for applying a histogram equalization.
  • Shift clicking the "Show Grid" now displays the color dialog for selecting a gird color
  • The grey zoom buttons have been replaced with graphical ones
  • If a texture can't be found or opened, e.g. because it was deleted, the previous texture is kept or the default texture is opened automatically.
• Removed Bugs:
  • The simultaneous usage of the Saturation and Noise slider caused a blank white image before.
  • The Texture Map combo box is (de)activated correctly.
  • Ellipse drawing bug fixed
  • "No Texture" main effect:
    • The preview display of the Quad Mirror effects was fixed.
    • The Saturation and Hue sliders work now.
