Speedy Painter 3.6.6 + Portable

Fixed text size issues on high DPI monitors.

Fixed loading image into reference view.
Minor bug fixes.

solved a major bug causing application crash at startup on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
solved a small glitch occurring when the application window was maximized on a high dpi monitor, leaving a small part of the screen uncovered.
small fixes with high dpi support (size of the secondary view on image, gui shadows).

Added support for Windows Ink. Now pen pressure is detected also by tablets that do not support Wacom Wintab technology (like Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 and Microsoft Surface Pro 6).
The application is now DPI aware, and properly scales the interface on High DPI monitors.

Solved a bug that caused wrong reproduction of drawing processes created using a simple (not textured) round brush.
Improved brush scattering, now the scattering direction is not wrongly affected by the rotation angle of the brush.
New brush image 'platanus' with corresponding brush preset 'leaves'.

Loading DDS image format.
Reorganized directory structure.

Reference view that replicates canvas movements, in order to always focus on the portion of the image we are currently working on. You can see a simple demonstration here.
Video export of drawing process into an avi video file: ready to upload it on YouTube, Vimeo or other web video sharing platforms. (**)
Multiple layers.
Ability to vary stroke size and/or opacity according to pen pressure (supports Wacom digitizers and tablets with Wacom technologies, like ASUS VivoTab note 8 ***)
Replay of drawing process.
Import/export of the whole drawing process.
Loading and saving of most common image formats (jpg, png, tif, tga, dds).
Canvas rotation.
Canvas horizontal flip.
Selection mask.
Image crop: watch demo.
Perspective grid overlay: watch demo.
Brush library: possibility to choose among different brushes, import new brushes and even to define new custom brushes: watch demo.
Mirror tool: to create horizontally mirrored images (useful for symmetrical shapes or drawing faces) or radial repetitions of a pattern, like in mandala paintings: watch demo.

Better handling of crashes due to unfulfilled system requirements (OpenGL 3.0 not supported by graphics hardware).
Splash screen.

the DevIL image library has been replaced with the CxImage library, now SpeedyPainter can also read RAW images produced by digital cameras.
solved some artifacts occurring when saving a semitrasparent image in the JPG format.

new 'pencil' brush preset.
whe a selection is active, the Bucket Fill tool now works only on active selection.
improved selection tool. Finally the selection tool produces smooth selections, this resolves a great limitation of the selection tool in previous version, in which selected area exhibited very jagged borders (details here).
solved some bugs in the selection tool, occasionally causing a wrong correspondence between the selection contour and the actual masked area of the canvas.
solved some bugs in the gradient tool.

improved rendering of round brush at very small sizes (see comparison here)
improved rendering and interpolation of brushstrokes when drawing very fast lines, like while applying hatching and crosshatching techniques. Previous versions occasionally produced some annoying glitches in such scenarios.

finer control over color dynamics. Now user can select the amount of hue, saturation and value jitter that will affect the randomness of the resulting color.
brush orientation: user can now select a different orientation angle for the brush.

Color picker is now accessible also with a specific toolbar button (in addition to keyboard binding with the "ALT" key). This can be useful when a physical keyboard is not available, like in a tablet configuration.
Solved some inconsistencies in the width/height values shown in the Crop/Resize tool.
Solved a small bug in the color selector.

More clean and organized Brush Properties Dialog, brush settings are now grouped into different tabs.

added brush color dynamics (demo here).
added a pressure enhancement flag to improve simulation of dry brushes.
new brushes and presets!

Draggable toolbar llscreen mode in a multi-monitor configuration (including Wacom cintiq + monitor configurations).
Adding some small optimizations in the drawing algorithm of textured brushstrokes.

Improved brush presets list (now showing a preview for each existing brush preset).
Visualization of current cursor coordinates is now disabled during the video export process (thus avoiding overlapping with the print of the estimated time to completion).
Solved some bugs occurring when user aborted the video export process.

Better looking interface.
Longer names for brush presets.
Minor bug fixes.

improved crop tool, now with snap at canvas boundaries and at canvas pixels level.

print of x, y canvas coordinates under current cursor position.
