Latest PhotoStyler and other news

Gobra — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 08:58:25 +0000

Hello all,
We have already released PhotoStyler 6.5.3. Despite of small version steps (0.0.1 per release) those updates are actually quite useful and deliver a lot of minor improvements in the user interface, application stability and performance. Plus, we have fixed a bunch of bugs.

However, the most part of my time during the last month was spent on sales, promos and Candy’s Choco app update. Till the end of this year I’m not going to publish anything really serious, although there will be further small updates and improvement all over the application set of both Neatberry & Candy.

Stay tuned!
Yaro.

The status

Hello everyone,
I’m back after a hard flue. Well, almost back since I still feel so-so, but at least it’s good enough to push some energy into the work This flew broke some plans:

To release Sketcher 1.3
To release Patterno 2.5

In fact, both applications are ready. At last, I have fixed the problems of the Sketcher app and Sandoxing, Patterno updates seems to be well too. Ill publish those updates today, AppStore version will be available (as always) after a delay.

Kind Regards,
G.

Hello everyone,

I have forgotten about our blog for a while. It’s not that popular and it’s easier for us to reach the customers through the newsletter, Twitter or Facebook, so… Well, nevermind, I will still publish the status posts here and maybe some post with an explanations of the plans, versions, decisions we’ve made and so on. Current status: almost every Neatberry app got an update during last few month, some of the got few updates. We’ve fixed number of bugs, made apps 10.8-compatible and some of them are also Retina-compatible now. Plus, we have started localizing the apps, initially those are Eng + Rus localizations (a kind of native languages for me), but in the future list might grow. “Choco” from the CandySquare is an example – it also has Germa, French, Italian and Spanish locales. During this Fall I will be focused on the further improvements of the graphics part of the apps (Retina, yeah) and locales and the biggest issue here is the Sketcher app. Sketcher isn’t native Mac application, so I face serious difficulties with the Sandboxing (under 10.7 only) and other thing. I hope I will be able to figure out the solution during the October.

Anyway, just stay tuned, check for updates from time to time and don’t hesitate to contact me via our support at neatberry.com e-mail if you have any questions, suggestions or problems.

Kind Regards, G.

Cool Patterno promotion

Gobra — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 20:34:29 +0000

Hello everyone!
If you have missed a cool thing, here it is: Patterno is #1 Top Paid application in the AppStore Graphics category! Of course, it’s a matter of the promotion from the http://twodollartues.com/, which I find really impressive.

Hope this will help the application to success, as well as I hope to see this kind of promotions for other apps as well.

Best,
G.

The things

Gobra — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:26:54 +0000

Hi everyone,
It’s been a while since I posted anything in the blog, well, it’s due to my lazy nature We had all the news in the Twitter and the Facebook, but I guess it’s time to fill up the blog a bit. OK, what do I want to say? First of all, if you have missed our new co-project called “CadySquare” – you should definitely take a look! It represents various lightweight applications, a step over from the Neatberry apps complexity (is a sacrifice of some flexibility and power, of course), with a slick design and, at my taste, great look & feel. Applications themselves are mostly out of competition with Neatberry, so they might be a valuable addition to your photo library package.

Now about the Neatberry: PhotoStyler, Patterno and Fumy are my main goals for the rest of the 2012. It doesn’t mean that other application will be forgotten, but I simply can’t push them all forward, so the rest app in current plans are scheduled for the small updates only. Those three mentioned above, on the contrary, should get some serious features and UI upgrades which, I hope, will lift them higher.

Stay tuned!
G.

The latest progress

Gobra — Mon, 28 May 2012 09:04:22 +0000

Hello everyone!
I’have closed all my task in the “Candy Square” contract and now I have enough time to continue the work here, at Neatberry. PhotoStyler is the first app in the update queue, I’m going to update it to the 10.7 SDK, improve stability and memory consumption. The application will be extended with the new sharing framework (Flickr and Facebook so far), the one from the “Candy Square”, buy the way.

Also, it might be possible to extend the LightFrame application into something bigger and exciting. My last job in “Candy” was a collage maker application with some styling and framing features, I guess we have do something like that here, at Neatberry, extending the idea into the pro-level application that will be able of pro-like framing, collages and scrapbooking. Well, just an idea…

Stay tuned, people, and I hope you’ll find our updates useful and our new applications interesting!

Fumy 2.2.1 on the AppStore

Gobra — Fri, 04 May 2012 12:35:35 +0000

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.

Regards,
G.

Patterno 2.4

Gobra — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:46:55 +0000

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).

Regards,
G.

Fumy 2.2

Gobra — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:51:25 +0000

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.

Regards,
G.

The News

Gobra — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 07:05:35 +0000

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.
