  • Support for reference images has been implemented.
  • Specific layer exporting is now possible as part of the export dialog overhaul.

  • A perspective editor has been added, that aims to help artists use perspective in their work.
  • Dynamics are finally here! You can now use tablet pen pressure and/or mouse/pen velocity to affect the size and the alpha of the brush. More options will come in the future!

  • The entire export dialog UI has been overhauled.
  • Linked cels have been refactored, which allows for having multiple linked sets of cels in the same layer.

  • Gradient generation is now more powerful; there is now support for multi-color gradients and they can be repeated. Step gradients have been removed in favor of linear gradients with constant interpolation.

  • Using the selection gizmos when an overlay window is directly on top of them is no longer possible.
  • Fix bug where the tool changes from a draw tool to a non-draw tool, while having an image brush selected. The bug was that the indicator was appearing as a white square, until the user moved their mouse.

New in Pixelorama 0.10.3 (Sep 26, 2022)

  • Added:
  • The UI now automatically gets scaled, based on the dpi and resolution of the monitor. Resolves #643.
  • A "Divide into equal parts" button has been added in Gradient Map. This is meant for easy gradient bisecting, which is helpful for converting Linear/Cubic interpolated gradients into Constant. This will eventually be used in gradient generation as well, once multi-color gradient generation support gets implemented.
  • A new fill area option has been added to the bucket tool options, "Whole Selection". This fills the entire selection with a color or pattern, regardless of the colors of the pixels.
  • The UI can now be scaled down to 0.5 and 0.75.
  • Palette swatches now get highlighted if their color is selected from the color buttons. #730

  • In the bucket tool options, "Same color area" and "Same color pixels" have been renamed to "Similar area" and "Similar colors" respectively.

New in Pixelorama 0.10.1 (Jun 6, 2022)

  • The cursor can now be moved with the numpad arrow keys and gamepad's left stick and d-pad, the canvas can be moved with gamepad's right stick and it is also possible to map the activate left and right tool actions to keyboard and gamepad buttons, to allow drawing from these devices, making Pixelorama a lot more accessible. Made possible by the Keychain plugin.
  • A lot more gradient options have been added. Apart from the Linear Step gradient, there are now Linear, Radial, Radial Step, Linear Dithering and Radial Dithering gradient types. They are all shader-based, so they are a lot faster than the previous method. #677

  • It is no longer possible to delete content from cels belonging to invisible or locked cels.

  • The mirroring and pixel perfect options are now global tool options and affect both left and right tools.

  • "From Current Palette" preset option is now disabled when creating a new palette, if there is no current palette, which fixes #659
