IrfanPaint - Early Betas

[SQUEEGE]

wow........

IrfanPaint is cool. Happy belated birthday, and please, keep up the great work.

The brush disappears when you paint, this makes it difficult to see what will be painted (or erased) when using a large brush. Can you make the brush redraw as it is dragged?

[MItaly]

Just fixed in the code, but for the new version you have to wait some time.

Thanks to everybody for the birthday wishes!

Another minor bug. The About dialogue box doesn't close if you click the Close button, only if you use the OK button.

Enhancement Suggestion: Is there any way to make IV Paint highlight a portion of an image as requested in this thread? The best I could manage was cross-hatching with a transparent background.

[MItaly]

Bug fixed.
I already received a request about a highliter function, but, I can't obtain a good result without introducing alpha blended brushes (and it's quite a mess). I think that, for the first release, we've got enough features: of course for the next release I'll try to add more functions.

What's cross-hatching ?

I agree with MItaly that alpha things are a thing for the future, because it introduces quite some complex subroutines.
Let's first focus on the straight, basic 2D-tools.

I don't know about the exact requested nature of that thread Bhikku mentioned about highlighting, but since 'Enhance colors' is valid in a selected portion of an image (Shift+G) too, one could set the Brightness to the max for example.

See the brush settings dialogue. Make sure you have the latest version.

Thanks. I only recently joined this, and didn't explore that section so far.

IrfanPaint 0.4.4.44

Here's the new version of IrfanPaint, that may become the release included in the next release of IrfanView.
Here are the changes:

• added straighten image tool (see this post);
• completely rewritten precision cursors code (for the user this worths nothing, but the new code is object-oriented and much simpler for me to maintain);
• exhaustive tooltips now enabled by default;
• About dialog now shown centered on the screen
• all other dialogs now shown near the toolbar;
• added a little hint under the custom line style textbox;
• fixed the "resample bug" (if the resample option was enabled very often IP didn't display anything); thanks mainly to Irfan for this;
• fixed other minor bugs.

The internationalization is delayed to the next version; there's not enough time to make a decent work.
Note that in few days I have to send a definitive version of the dll to Irfan, thus please test this dll extensively, so that I can fix all the bugs before the official release.

Hi,

i can´t draw even one line with the new version.

Only when i do one mouseclick. There is one small black line. If i minimize the windows (IrfanView). It appears as big red lines ...

Hopefully i could help you ...

steve

UPDATE: I deleted my ini file. Now the lines will be shown on the screen, but i have to minimize the window

EDIT: This problem does not occur when i use the "brush".

EDIT2: It does occur with line,arrow, ellipse, rectangle.

Floodfill, color picker are working !

Pressing F5 key solves the problem ...

Have you downloaded the big packet? For the new version a new exe is needed.

Will try it now

[matera]

If I haven't said it before, WOW.

[Sam_Zen]

I updated the big packet. but I'm alarmed :
The Batch conversion dialog can't be called anymore in IV ... In any way..

[ChuckE]

Batching works for me.
