LazPaint (alpha-blending, antialiasing, filters)

[lainz]

Thanks, it's getting stronger =)

Yeah, the fact that there was no layer was the main gap between LazPaint and Paint.NET or Krita.

New version of LazPaint 5.3 with easier layer handling.

- move layer and rotate layer only selection the bounding rectangle
- perspective transform icon in layer window (you can hold Shift or Alt to scale)

Linux version compiled for LazPaint 5.3 !

New version of LazPaint (5.4) with :
- reorganized code
- bug fixes with layers
- better layer transform
- more filter preview
- filter window for sharpen with amount
- bug fix when loading LZP files

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazpaint/files/src/

It needs latest BGRABitmap (6.9.5).

Only the source code is released for now. If you can test it and make binaries for Linux or Mac, it would be welcomed as I work only with Windows. If you find some bugs, please tell me.

Man, that is awesome.
Is Lazpaint really on par with Paint.net ?

That is fantastic. Great work.

Thanks. 

Yes, there are some things better in LazPaint and some things better in Paint.NET.

There is still room for improvement for LazPaint, but I will try first to finalize with LazPaint 5.4, to get a stable and usable version of layers. I hope to finish tomorrow.

Again, if you find any bug, please tell me before I publish it.

I find someone to make MacOS binaries and someone to make Linux binaries, so I suppose I will have all of them (Win32, Win64, MacOS32, Linux32)

I've uploaded pure binaries for i386-linux (gtk2 and qt interface). Do you think I should UPX them first?

[circular]

Thanks.

Well, it seems that they are bigger than Windows version.

But more important, you don't need to include the update_checker. It is not used anymore, because it is included.

Oh, alright, I'll reupload with update_checker removed. Where's the update functionality then? Is it automatically checked on start?

[circular]

Yep, and in case the version has changed, it shows a dialog box. It is saved in the configuration, so that it is not shown the next time.

[circular]

New version of LazPaint (5.5) with :
- layer duplicate bug fix
- blur computed in thread so that user has a non blocking preview
- optimized filters when applied on an empty selection
- grid tool update fix when moving a point without deformation
- more interface and translation compatibility
- 2 new filters : phong filter with a map, filter with any arbitrary mathematical function
