  • Bug when invoking “Analyze me gently…” extra menu entry. Program throws “floating point operation exception”. Fixed.
  • Bug when rendering text shapes: does not render drop shadow although the shadow is on. Fixed.
  • Bug when loading multi-layer image (extensions: ien, lyr, psd): program throws error when drawing on layer(s). Fixed.
  • Bug in settings->rendering modes: regardless of user choice, automatic rendering mode is always on. Fixed.
  • Bug in settings->Max. brush size: regardless of user choice, max brush size is always 300. Fixed.
  • Bug in Spread action->Stroke warper->Color picker mode->Step with brush color scheme does not work as described. Fixed.

New in Pixopedia 2020.05 (May 25, 2020)

  • LIPS engine upgraded.
  • New autobrush feature added: multi-pass autobrushing with various modes and options.
  • New lua extensions added: OpenCV find contours. This extension is used for contour tracing autobrush mode.

New in Pixopedia 2020.04 (May 25, 2020)

  • LIPS engine upgraded.
  • OpenCV update: library version 4.2.0.
  • New lua script (plug-in) added: OpenCV Color transfer. Performs statistical color transfer between two images (you must switch to master/slave mode).
  • New lua script (plug-in) added: OpenCV Dnn Super Resolution. Performs DNN super-resolution (image up-scaling).
  • New lua extensions added: OpenCV inpainting. You can use this extension in Marker action.
  • Lua extension “OpenCV Seamless Cloning” added as an option to Marker action (Clone).

New in Pixopedia 2014 0.7.0 (Jan 17, 2016)

  • All reported bugs fixed.
  • Layers tool: new button merge marked layers added. All marked layers will be merged in one layer.
  • Layers tool: Visible and Mark check-boxes added. Visible check-box is used to show/hide layer. Mark check-box is used to mark layer for merging and other “group” actions.
  • CML brush: New combo-box (options) added. Beside reborn option, there are few new options:
  • Modify matrix after each step: if checked, matrix is modified after each iteration step, otherwise after iteration is completed.
  • Delay creation: if checked, operations involving newly created site is delayed until iteration is complete.
  • Random splat: if checked, randomly creates new site in stroke neighbor.
  • Sequential scan: if checked, sequential scanning of strokes bound rectangle is performed (top-down), otherwise scanning array is shuffled. NOTE: In previous version, only sequential scan was performed. If you encounter any problem with shuffled scan, check sequential scan.
  • CML bursh: new matrix operator added, operator “TRUE”. When “TRUE” operator is selected, respective neighbor pixel is not checked (always TRUE).
  • Compound filters: besides inner and outer options, two new options added – out high and out low. The first option will affect pixels with intensity above upper threshold value, while second option will affect pixels with intensity below lower threshold value.
  • Image warping action: a change in bi-quadratic warping algorithm. Parameter Bi-q factor added [0.1, 1.0]. This parameter gives more control over bi-quadratic warping effect.
  • Settings: check box New layer on top added. By default, layers are ordered in “new layer on bottom” style. Checking this option will inverse layers order (after restart).
  • New image mode added: Decomposition mode (right mouse click on image tab). This mode is a special layer mode and contains:
  • Pyramid decomposition: Gaussian 3×3, Gaussian 5×5, Laplacian 3×3 and Laplacian 5×5.
  • Cloning: Gaussian 3×3 EIS, Gaussian 5×5 EIS, Blur EIS, Median EIS and Simple cloning. EIS stands for Equal Image Size(s)
  • Separation: RGB, HLS, XYZ, YCrCb, HSV, YUV and Luminance levels.
  • New option added in Master/slave mode: dyadic operations. Currently, only master/slave background images blending is supported (similar to sidekick image blending). If images are not the same size, a copy of slave image is resized before blending with master image. Original slave image size is preserved. More to come.
  • Two new buttons added on tool panel: Apply action on marked layers and Undo marked layers. The first one applies selected action on all marked layers, while the second one performs undo on all marked layers. Comes very handy when manipulating decomposition layers.

New in Pixopedia 2014 0.6.0 (Nov 27, 2015)

  • Big internal redesign.
  • New tool form added – Layers. Layers mode removed from image modes. All image modes (currently standard and master/slave mode) have full layers support.
  • Button Move & rotate layers removed. Button Move & resize layers renamed to Manipulate layers. When this button is clicked, a new pop-up menu is available. Right click on image area to see available options (more to come).
  • Two new actions added to master/slave mode: import image as new layer and copy master layer to new slave layer.
  • Possibility of using slave image for clone brush: press “C” on your keyboard while mouse cursor is on slave image. Select one of the cloning schemes and perform drawing on master image.
  • Every layer can have it’s own assistant image (mask, contour, sidekick and stencil).
  • A new internal 3×3 filter added: Nylon raster. Apply it few times to see the result.
  • A new 3×3 filter mode added: binlogic(binary logic convolution). One internal and one external filter added as examples (Psychedelic nxor and Dark poster). This filter convolves image with binary logic kernel, i.e. pixels are not multiplied by appropriate kernel elements as with ordinary convolution. Instead, on each pixel is applied binary logic operation with byte value from kernel element. After operation on each pixel is finished, values are summed as in ordinary convolution. Each kernel element consist of optional sign (only “-” sign is acceptable), binary logic operation and byte value: [-]{Op}{Value}. Here is the list of valid binary logic operators:
  • A – AND
  • R – OR
  • X – XOR
  • !A – NAND
  • !R – NOR
  • !X – NXOR
  • In this version some image processing actions are restricted only to background image. Actions restricted to background image are marked with (b.i.). In previous versions those actions produce quite a mess when applied on layers.
  • A bug in warping action: some warping modes do not perform correctly when applied on transparent images with antialias option checked. This bug dates from version 0.4.0. due to internal changes in drawing surface. Bug fixed.

New in Pixopedia 2014 0.5.0 (Nov 20, 2015)

  • Internal changes (rendering engine).
  • Two new lattice types/modes added tor CML brush:
  • Semicoupled simple
  • Semicoupled NzN
  • Possibility of applying Ad hoc adaptive 3×3 convolution (Ahac) using mask assistant image.
  • Macro recorder added: record, playback, load and save user’s actions sequence.
  • New shape added under standard shapes: Curved text. Render text following free hand drawn curve (polyline).
  • New image mode added: Master/slave mode. Besides standard and layers mode, a new special layers mode is available. Lot of options and very interesting features are available in this mode.
  • “Slice and dice and many more…” action removed as obsolete (because of master/slave mode) and replaced by Marker action.
  • Four new options in selection tool:
  • Paste into: pasts image from clipboard into given selection. Clipboard image is resized to fit selection bounding rectangle.
  • Save selection to memory: puts current selection onto stack.
  • Load selection from memory: restores last saved selection from stack.
  • Stroke around selection(s): converts selection(s) into polygon(s) and renders stroke following polygon(s) points.
  • Statistical correction mode in Colors action modified: User must press “collect data” button before applying statistical color correction. This resolves problem of immediate statistics calculation when switching between images (which produces performance degradation when big images are involved). Besides that, user has an option to collect data from complete image or from given selection(s).

New in Pixopedia 2014 0.4.1 (Oct 28, 2015)

  • Check box “Destruction On” removed as obsolete. To exclude destruction, simply set D prob. slider to zero.
  • Weight parameter added (visible for coupled lattice types).
  • Lattice type selection for CML brush (ommited by mistake in previous version) has been added:
  • Uncoupled
  • Coupled simple
  • Coupled NzN
  • User can select four functions separately for grow and destruction/decay by clicking on appropriate sky-blue colored rectangle:
  • L – linear intensity change
  • Q – quadratic change
  • Nb – “neighbor bullying”
  • Ni – inverse “neighbor bullying”

New in Pixopedia 2014 0.4.0 (Oct 22, 2015)

  • Lot of internal changes (new virtual drawing surface).
  • Ad hoc adaptive convolution now displays proper modal form.
  • Image warping action: selection bound added (where possible). There are three types of selection bound: source, destination and both.
  • Colors action: Statistical correction mode added. This mode adjusts image pixels according to statistical data taken from another image.
  • Spreader action: new spreading mode added – Neighbour shuffler, with 5 sub modes: Random neighbour, Neighbour group – best luminance, Neighbour group – worst luminance, Neighbour group – luminance range and Neighbour group average.
  • New brush added: CML brush. CML stands for coupled map lattice, a model for simulating non-linear dynamical systems. A bunch of parameters for controlling brush behavior. Very interesting and cool strokes can be drawn using this type of brush. To see how it works, use big brush tips (50-70).

  • New parameter for solid brush: thickness value for empty circle/square shapes. This parameter controls shape pen width.
  • New option in selections pop-up menu: Drop shadow PLUS and Drop shadow OVER. Casts shadow under selection, according to parameters specified in Selection rules & shadow tool panel. Note: Specified shadow type (Off, On-Plus, On_over), normally used for brushes, is overridden according to selected option from pop-up menu.
  • Quadrangle warping: 4 new grips added to quadrangle object (central grips). These grips are used for synchronized moving of adjacent corners.
  • New and improved “Best fit radial sweep stroke placement” algorithm implemented, both for single stroke and multi-step stroke placement (autobrush). Old algorithm is left as an option, for testing reasons.

  • Fixed bug with transparent images.
  • Filter button added to Assistant objects (images) tool: When mask/contour is created user can apply some commonly used filters on current object (mask/contour).
  • New image precessing item – Resize/stretch inside. Zoom selection on image inside pop-up window to resize/stretch desired detail without resizing actual image size.
  • Contour clipping implemented: when contour is created, enabling this option performs contour clipping, i.e. when stroke encounters contour pixel, drawing is stopped until mouse button is released. Two additional parameters “contour clipping threshold” and “contour scanning radius” are used to control entire process. First one defines intensity threshold value (when contour clipping occurs) and second one specifies circle radius around current pixel in which contour is inspected.

New in Pixopedia 0.2.4 (Jan 20, 2015)

  • Reported bugs fixed…well, most of them.
  • Slice & dice: Selection to marker option added. Creates marker from selection. Previous marker is cleared and replaced with selection mask.
  • Plugins tool: Pixopedia plugins support implemented (PPI). All plugins need to be rewritten to accommodate new PPI engine. Plugins can be downloaded separately and must be installed in pixplugins directoy.
  • New “Image Infector” plugin (v2.0) available and it can be downloaded as a separate zip file. New features in this plugin (v2.0): every automaton has it’s own growth semaphore; automaton cell color can be set to a single color value; new tab/option “post processing” has been added. Also, plugin has completely new GUI.
  • Brush/Jittering rules: disconnected drawing implemented.
  • Unnecessary skins removed from project which resulted in 6MB less exec size.

New in Pixopedia 0.2.3 (Dec 22, 2014)

  • Most reported bugs corrected.
  • Version built with full debug option for better bug tracing.
  • Brush/Advanced/Bumping: soft bumping option added.
  • Settings: enable ImageMagick plugin option added. Initially, this option is disabled. Enabling this option, Pixopedia will be able to read SVG files (they will be converted to raster image) and bunch of various exotic image formats. Note: after enabling (or disabling) this option, Pixopedia must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
  • Assistant images/Mask: Blend only option added. By checking this option, brush bumping will not occur on current mask but will occur on background tile (if any).
  • Lua script “Voronoi diagram in regular grid” enhanced (new features implemented).
  • Help: link to Pixopedia YouTube channel added.
  • Help: anchor Check for updates added. Checks for a new version.

New in Pixopedia 0.2.2 (Nov 3, 2014)

  • Two more bugs detected: clear marker in “slice an dice…” action clears marker in all images. Also, after Quadrangle mode is selected under Warp action and changed to another mode, program throws an error. Bugs corrected and version 0.2.2 uploaded.

New in Pixopedia 0.2.1 (Nov 3, 2014)

  • Detected a nasty error in Autobrush thread. Correction applied and new version 0.2.1 uploaded.

New in Pixopedia 0.2.0 (Nov 3, 2014)

  • New action: Slice & dice & many more. I ran out of names. In Pixopedia 24 2.0, name for this stuff was “Masquerade”. This option is a set of actions for manipulating marked part of image by cloning, moving, rotating, resizing. Also, here you can copy image/selection to clipboard, paste from clipboard, crop, clear and many moooooreeeee. This part is still in development phase and it can be little buggy.
  • New ornaments added: binary and trinary trees. Semiautomatic tree drawing. Tile drawing fully implemented.
  • New shape added: spline. Spline was available through special shapes only, but now, it’s available through standard shapes. Depending on settings (new tab in setting form), hand-drawn polyline is simplified and then spline is drawn through set of simplified points. Very cool for those with shaky hands.
  • New entry in Settings form: Polyline tab – polylines/polygons simplification parameters, spline options, etc…
  • New blending modes added: StereoBW, StereoColor, StereoColorDubois, StereoEven, StereOdd, Luninosity 2.
  • New tool added on the right pane: Autobrush settings. Autobrush shape is currently available only within Spreader action, so, beside free hand shape, spreader modes can be applied using autobrush shape.
  • New tool button added: Paste image from clipboard.
  • Changed tools grouping: Selection rules and Shadow are now packed together. Mask and contour are also packed together under Assistant objects panel.
  • Stencils added as a new assistant object.
  • New items added under selection shape: Copy to clipboard, copy to mask PLUS and copy to mask OVER.
  • New item added in image tab popup menu: copy image to clipboard.
  • Most important: complete program is ported to new platform and also, I’ve changed GUI a bit. Now it’s super-cool, OMG it’s awesome…and it can accommodate lower screen resolutions.

New in Pixopedia 0.1.3 (Mar 26, 2014)

  • Reported bugs fixed.
  • Fixed up HSV adjustment. Now it works as it should.
  • Fixed LMH adjustment (split toning).
  • Color action: a new mode added (Temperature). Adjust temperature of an image. Works best when brush current capacity is set to app. 50%. This color manipulation mode preserves luminance/luminosity.
  • Color action: a new mode added (Toning). There are two options available: single color toning or current brush palette (with or without luminance preservation).
  • Layers mode: opacity (transparency) slider added. Now, beside layer blending modes, you can adjust transparency value for each layer.
  • Waring (dialog) added on closing image and on program exit.
  • New tool in tools inventory added: Shadow & Mask.

New in Pixopedia 0.1.2 (Mar 17, 2014)

  • Polyline/polygon reshape (resize): While drawing polyline/polygon marker, when Ctrl key is pressed, polyline/polygon can be reshaped (resized)
  • Palette: load palette from image. Palette is reduced to 256 colors.
  • Image processing: method "Replace image palette with current palette" added.
  • Painting scheme: "Sine colore" (no color) item added. It does not use any color at all, but if set so, performs brush bumping.
  • Image processing: Histogram processing mode added. Currently available histogram options:
  • Equalize luminance
  • Equalize channels
  • Autostretch
  • Low+
  • High+

  • Corrected bugs in geometric shapes filling rules.
  • Now is possible to load texture image from background tiles directory and background tile image from textures directory.
  • NOTE: Now, you can drag and drop same image as texture and background tile, without need to reopen texture/background tile directory. However, separate directories for textures and background tiles are still available.

New in Pixopedia 0.1.0 (Feb 27, 2014)

  • Reported bugs fixed (except one with Unicode directory names: please install Pixopedia in directory which name does not contain Unicode characters).
  • Creating, modifying and saving user defined filters and palettes finally implemented.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.9a (Feb 24, 2014)

  • There is a nasty bug in version 0.0.9. Immediate fix released.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.9 (Feb 21, 2014)

  • Reported bugs corrected.

  • Spreader action: Stroke warper added - warps image under the brush tip according to modes selected: blob, blub, twirl, explode, implode.
  • A new action: Compound filters

New in Pixopedia 0.0.8 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Image processing: Rotate and adjust image size
  • Image processing: Margins cut off
  • Image processing: Remove red eye
  • Brushes: Stroke faders (stroke slope) implemented (size and capacity)

New in Pixopedia 0.0.7 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Reported bugs corrected (new ones probably created).
  • Image processing tool added on the right-pane. You can perform various image processing options...more to come.
  • Plugins tool added on the right-panel: Pixopedia native plug-in support is not yet implemented, however, 3rd party filters (Adobe 8BF) are now supported. Filters that require alpha channel are not supported.
  • Change in distribution file: a new directory "8bfsamples" is distributed together with Pixopedia 2014. A bunch of interesting freeware 8bf filters.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.6 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Implemented warping modes: waves horizontal, waves vertical, disorder, explode, implode and move.
  • New settings option added: PaintBook modes. Beside single PaintBook mode (tabbed images) you can set double PaintBook mode. In this mode you can work with two side-by side images. Only one PaintBook is active at the time. You can swap active PaintBook by clicking on indicator at the PaintBook top-left corner.
  • New drawing mode added: Scaled. It's similar to normal mode, but you can scale channels. It can be very useful when working with cloned image scheme.
  • New tool added: Selection & Contour. Button reside on the right pane. With this tool, you can define selection rules and image contour.
  • Apply through contour implemented. Clicking on this button applies selected action using previously defined image contour as mask.
  • Reordering of tabs inside PaintBook added. Also, you can detach tabbed image (undock) by pulling tab down. However, when docking tab page back to PaintBook, program sometimes throws an error. Ignore this error, just click "Don't send" and program will continue to work normally. This problem resides inside 3rd party component I'm using. This error will be solved soon.
  • Erase mode in drawing action has been modified. Now, you can specify erase color. In previous versions, erase color was always set to white. You can choose between two options: custom color or image dominant color. Also, you can pick colors selected by mouse (color picker). Those two colors are visible at the bottom pane, near first brush. Simply drag and drop selected color into erase match color combo box, or custom erase color combo box.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.5 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Image warping action added: big change from old Pixopedia versions. Some warping modes (smear, blob, blub, balloon and double balloon) can be applied with two different "shapes" (right-mouse click to select):
  • Immediate warp (free hand): warping is immediately visible while mouse is moved. Note however, that this option can be slow if you rapidly move your mouse over image.
  • Delayed warp: warping range is selected by appropriate shape (marker) and after mouse button is release, warping is applied. This option is faster then precious one.
  • Special shapes now behave a little different then in previous Pixopedia 2014 versions: shape is visible after apply is performed. You can modify or move your shape (Shift + mouse move) and apply drawing again. Shape is cleared when action is changed or when you request "clear shape" from pop-up menu (right-click). This feature comes handy when drawing ornaments with special shapes.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.4 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Reported (and not reported) bugs corrected.
  • Convolve action added: now you can apply convolution with arbitrary size kernel (matrix). Currently only predefined kernels are available. User defined kernels will be available soon.
  • Image Nozzle action added: similar to PSP tubes, but uses transparent png images with data written in PNG_TextKeys block inside image.
  • Applying IPL filters on full image optimized and speeded up.
  • Wrap free hand option removed from Draw action. It complicates the things (internally). If needed, I can add free hand wrapping in some plug-in.
  • Big internal modifications done: this will come very handy in new versions.
  • A bunch of blending modes added to "Layers image mode". Every layer can be individually blended with background image with selected blending mode.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.3 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Fixed bug with brush set loading .
  • Fixed bug with wrong pixel shifting operation.
  • Some minor bugs fixed.
  • New action added: Spreader. I have decide not to implement retouch tools (Pixopedia 24), as all tools are available under other actions, except spread and smudge tools. So, there is a new action called spreader which currently contains three modes: spread, smudge I and smudge II. Automatic brushing not yet implemented.
  • New brush added: stamp brush. Actually, loads predefined gray-scale brushes from selected directory (png images) and uses them as brush mask. Sample stamp collection distributed with this version. Loaded brush stamp is scaled according to brush size. Stamp brush loading works in the same manner as texture loading.
  • New painting schemes added: image mouse down color and image step color.
  • Painting schemes: Clone image aligned, clone image repositioned and clone image fixed, fully implemented. To pick cloning image, select desired image loaded in Pixopedia, position your mouse at desired image coordinates and press c key on your keyboard.
  • Drawing/pixels shifting blending modes changed. Some modes are renamed, some discarded and some new modes added.
  • New shortcut: to manually show/hide sticky forms, move your mouse over loaded/created image and press f key on your keyboard.If forms are visible, pressing 'f' will hide them. Pressing 'f' again will bring sticky forms back.
  • Maybe some other stuff added, but I forgot it.

New in Pixopedia 0.0.2 (Feb 13, 2014)

  • Fixed bug with wrong initial textures/tiles directory.
  • Some minor bugs fixed.
  • Automatic settings save/load added: all settings change is written in Pixopedia.cfg file. When program is restarted, all necessary settings parameters are loaded.
  • Possibility of saving/loading single brush or complete brush set added. Sample brush/ set files distributed with this version.
  • Color Twist action added: perform IPL color twisting using predefined matrix values. Currently user defined color twists are not supported

New in Pixopedia 2.0 Alpha 2 (Dec 27, 2007)

  • New drawing shapes added:
  • Polyline
  • Jittered polyline
  • Polygon outlined
  • Polygon filled
  • Polygon filled (border = 1)
  • Jittered polygon outlined
  • Jittered polygon filled
  • Jittered line
  • Jittered line 45/90
  • Stroke fading (size and capacity) reprogrammed and works quite nice. For now, stroke fading works only for delayed standard shapes (line, line45/90, all polylines, all polygon types)
  • New choice added to brush tool: setting polygon interior behavior.
  • Browse images - implemented
  • Slide show - implemented
  • Possibility of marquee selections with adjustable feather radius.
  • New tool button added: sel rules. Now, you can specify selection feather radius, magic wand modes and clipping/snapping rules. NOTE: although there is snap to grid check box, snapping to grid will be implemented in one of the next alpha builds.
