PhotoMonkee 0.52b – Now Available

Just finished another cup of coffee…and this week’s build! This release contains mostly bug fixes but it also includes all of the plumbing for the image filtering API. This feature will allow for some much smarter people than myself to implement kick-ass image filters for PhotoMonkee. Filter developers will be able to sell or give-away their creations. Once PhotoMonkee reaches a larger audience we’ll cook up a plugin store to help get the word out and generate sales.

Here’s the changelog for this build:

Bug fixes for layer drop shadow style
  – Shadow distance was restricted to the current bounding box of the text, plus a margin (fixed)
  – Shadow wouldn’t render correctly for bottom left, top left or top right positions.
Fixed a crash with fill tool deselection
Fixed a crash with new motion blur tool (certain resolutions were hitting a buffer overrun)
Fixed a bug where text layers would show their marquee when clicked on, even if the text layer wasn’t active
When using an interactive image filter on an image with transparencies the results would accumulate each frame as if it were smudging. This has been fixed.
Fixed a bug when canceling an interactive filter with transparent source image. The transparent areas would not be preserved on cancel.
Filter Plugin API is ready for testing!
