ArtOverflow beta 7 is out, coming with tons of new features! 😊 Again special thanks to Katerina Gorinskaia for helping on testing and giving feedback. ![hello](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/35019c310c0f24c35068acf38a0d25d1aeca71b3.png) ## System requirements - macOS 10.14 or 10.15 ## Download [ArtOverflow.zip](https://artoverflow.io/downloads/beta7/ArtOverflow.app.zip) (9 MB) ## What’s new? Here are the features added compared to the [previous beta](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/t/artoverflow-beta-6-welcome-window-thumbnails-open-save-ux/24): ### Stabilizer - ArtOverflow now features a stabilizer! It smoothes your stylus path as well as pressure, allowing you to draw perfect lineart. Stabilizer is enabled through a new brush setting slider, and is also enabled by default in some of the provided brush presets. ![Capture d’écran 2020-06-29 Ă  21.18.47](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/898f53c02364833630b46aa16ff4c8a3bd7c28a9.png) ![stabilizer](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/9a5714b5bbc8ae483e05d3de55120b35ad8aa878.png) - In order to welcome the new slider without needing more space, the Brush Tool Settings panel has become more compact. - This stabilizer is the result of studying other competitors and should be close to the one found in Clip Studio Paint and Paint Tool SAI. More precisely: - It will smooth the stroke pressure for nice thin stroke ends. - When you stop, the stabilizer catches up with your stylus, allowing you to force your stroke to go through a specific point, or to have a specific pressure in some parts of the stroke. - Upon release, the stabilizer will finish the stroke up to where you stopped. - The stabilizer is based on [OpenToonz open-source implementation](https://github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz) and has also [been made open-source](https://github.com/Yalir/RawInputStabilizer), including the improvements done for ArtOverflow. ### New Brush Presets - ⚠ Brush file format has evolved. Previously created brush presets are not usable in this new beta. Additionally, if you want to get the new brushes but have already used a previous version of ArtOverflow, you should delete the directory at “~/Library/Containers/com.yalir.ArtOverflow/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Brushes” and restart ArtOverflow. On next start, ArtOverflow will install the new brushes in this directory. - With the arrival of the stabilizer, brush presets have been refined while new ones are added: ![new brushes](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/2c02cacfcb2f9e2741a0723235a29fdf9d005c9f.png) - Refinements on existing brush presets consist in size adjustment for the Airbrush presets, and lower hardness on the Hard Brush for better antialiasing. ### Versions Browser - ArtOverflow now officially supports the Versions technology built into macOS. It works similarly to [Time Machine](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/back-up-files-mh35860/mac) but at the scale of a single document. It allows you to get your artwork back at the state of a previous save or autosave, even after having quit ArtOverflow or even restarted your Mac. ![versions menu](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/bf1ff6f3a58a85d00c5e38c0899ccaffc6c5a3ba.png) ![versions](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/c7cbbf2d07e0309811ddac674061f106c8fe019c.jpeg) - Versions was already present in ArtOverflow since the beginning, but was hardly usable: it would bloat your Mac memory as more versions were displayed, would make utility panels disappear and would display documents at 100% zoom, making them hard to compare. ### Miscellaneous - Saving artworks, especially big ones with lots of layers, is now a lot faster. For example, saving a big artwork with 100 layers is now up to 100 times faster. - Artworks now open in zoom to fit instead of zoom 100% by default. A new entry in the View menu allows switching between Fit and 100% zoom levels: ![zoom to fit menu](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/c9e36a677a893bb87e47ff04420b76498484e3e0.png) - In the welcome window, a new button allows showing your recent files in Finder ![Show in Finder](https://feedback.artoverflow.io/uploads/default/original/1X/48fbe75bf854ebbbf90dbf7b3252f2656a4bae6a.jpeg) - About panel is updated to properly give credits to all the third-party technologies used by ArtOverflow. Note that some components developed for ArtOverflow are also open-source! - Maximum artwork dimension is reduced from 16000x16000 to 8000x8000 pixels. Such huge artworks could cause ArtOverflow to crash depending on the hardware configuration of your Mac. ### Bugfixes - Switching to the Move tool and using the eraser end of your stylus would erase instead of moving the layer contents. Not anymore!
