Hello everyone,
Fumy 2.2.1 bugfix is available on the AppStore now, it fixes the issue with non-RGB colorspaces in input images (version 2.2 used to crash on such images). Regular version with the same fix has been already available for a while, so, if you face this problem, just click on the “Update” button.

Patterno 2.4

April 26th 2012 :: No comments :: Patterno, Smoke

Good news everyone!
Patterno got it’s small update. I have reviewed the visual representation of the app (the UI) to be more familiar to the Mac OS Lion interface guidelines. Also, a number of minor bugs were fixed. I can’ t say this version if a major improvement, but it fixes few annoying glitches and makes the work more comfortable.

Fumy 2.2.1 hotfix has been released as well. Actually, there was nothing wrong with Fumy 2.2 comparing to the previous one, but this release forced some number of reports regarding and old bug. Our poor Fumy had an issue with non-RGB color spaces which could cause a crash, this problem has been addressed and fixed in the 2.2.1.

Both applications are available on the website, AppStore version are not yet there (in review).

Fumy 2.2

April 25th 2012 :: No comments :: Smoke

Hello everyone!
It’s been a while since our last post – due to my work for Candy Square… However, I don’t forget to make some updates for the Neatberry apps and today I’m happy to show you the Fumy 2.2. This version brings minor bugfixes, improvements and one serious feature: the Lightning tool. It’s a bit basic tool yet, but it’s really promising and I hope you will enjoy it.

AppStore version is also available.

The News

March 26th 2012 :: No comments :: LightFrame, PhotoStyler, Smoke

Hi all,
It’s been a month since the last post, so I decided to share the news. First of all, our new sharing framework is ready and it seems to be much more stable than the previous one. It’s not yet used by the PhotoStyler or LightFrame, but it’s been added into a new third-party project. Second, I have a hunk of time to make an update for… Fumy. Yes, this little app needs some minor improvements and I’m going to make a new version this week. A big, serious update is also required, but it will take a time and I plan to release closer to the end of the Spring.

In addition to the said above I’d like to introduce the future updates of the PhotoStyler and LightFrame. The apps will be moved to the Mac OS 10.7+, 10.6 version will be discontinued and archived.

Regards,
G.

Another update

February 29th 2012 :: No comments :: PhotoStyler

Hello all,
I have spent few weeks working on the Sandboxed version of the PhotoStyler, but, unfortunately, 6.2 had a nasty bug that affected new users: it fails on export to image file. This issue has been fixed in 6.3, plus I have added some requested features like “Motion Blur” and “Radial Blur” filter. But the main new here is that non-MAS version of the app IS NOT Sandboxed anymore. The reason is pretty simple: it blowed out my mind and I simply can’t keep all the features of the app working on the Sandbox. For instance, built-in Crash reporter and Updater don’t work in Sandbox :(

So, the Sandboxing is turned on for the AppStore build only and it’s dropped in the regular 6.3 version. I’m not yet sure how to fix this in the future, but I’ll try to unify the builds 100%.

Regards,
G.

PhotoStyler 6.2

February 28th 2012 :: No comments :: PhotoStyler

Hello everyone,
PhotoStyler 6.2 is available on the website and AppStore as well. This time we synchronized the releases since the update mostly fixes AppStore versions sandboxing issues. Actually, since 6.2 both versions of the app are sandboxed. What’s new:

  • Few new presets.
  • Fix: Textures library drag’n drop.
  • Fix: External files linking.
  • Fix: Bokeh rendering issues and performance.
  • Fix: Presets being shown partially.
  • Fix: Levels filter crash and rendering issues.

We are going to release 1-2 updates for 10.6, after that the app will be focused on 10.7 and upcoming 10.8.

Regards,
G.

Upcoming PhotoStyler update

February 20th 2012 :: No comments :: PhotoStyler

Hello all,
AppStore users of the 6.1.1 faced an issue with external files and Textures library drag’n drop, both issues were caused by some glitches in the new sandboxed version of the app. I’m working on the update and 6.2 ill be send onto the AppStore this week. Hope it will get reviewed quick.

As for the closed down sharing compatibility – it will be back, but later. I’m still working on a new sharing library and we already have Facebook and Flickr support. This one looks better and is much more stable, but it will take a while to polish it + it requires Mac OS 10.7 to run. So, nearest release of the PhotoStyler will no include this library since I’m trying to keep 10.6 support as long as possible.

Regards,
G.

Current progress

February 12th 2012 :: No comments :: Uncategorized

Hello everyone,
What’s going on inside the Neatberry? Well, I have some plans to build the PhotoStyler 6.2, another fixes and improvements plus few small features. Further (after 6.2) PhotoStyler development will be focused on the 10.7 platform. Also, I’m going to release new Fumy, one of the important details here is the bug with messed up exports. If you face a problem with an export which looks like horizontal lines instead of the image – please, let me know, I need some references to sort the problem.

At last, I’m working on a new project and on the new sharing framework. Facebook integration is already done and this time it works properly ;)

G.

Upcoming Fumy 2.1

January 24th 2012 :: No comments :: Smoke

Hello all!
New version of the Fumy app is almost ready. Here is a screenshot of the app window:
Fumy 2.1

Right on the screenshot you can see few improvements: the Navigator panel and the Templates panel. The first one is pretty simple and I’m sure everybody knows how to use it. As for the Templates – well, it’s the most requested feature, the tool that allows you to save and load Brush Settings. Now you can save and re-use in the future any smoke brush you find interesting!

In addition to this, I’ve made some minor improvements, bugfixes and since version 2.1 Fumy will support canvas DPI.

This update will be published soon, stay tuned!
