  • We're working on future development. But I'm not going to get into specifics right now.

    If there are specific areas of Studio Artist you would like to see developed further, feel free to point them out. Understanding how people are using the program always helps us plan for the future.

    • Maybe have a reference palette.where we could place a painting by someone we admire and can reference to as we create our painting. So if I am painting and would like some of what I see in a Picasso or Sargent, it would be right there in front of me.

      • Can't you just open the image in a window in another image display program like preview and place that view in the appropriate place on your monitor?

        If you want to select colors from it, you could load it into a second layer, and switch to that and use c hot key to click on appropriate areas for the color selection.

        • My mind amazes me. I guess I was just so use to using Painter by Corel, I didn't let my mind make some easy leaps in SA.

          Thanks.

    • My Request #1:

      Dear John, at first please read this:

      "One feature of the JPEG file format is the concept of APP segments. These are regions of the JPEG file that can contain arbitrary information (as a sequence of bytes). Exif is actually stored in one of these segments, and is identified by a preamble.

      Take a look at this page: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#JPEG

      You'll see many segments there that start with APP such as APP0 (which can store JFIF data), APP1 (which can contain Exif) and so forth.

      There's nothing stopping you storing data in one of these segments. Conformant JPEG readers will ignore this unrecognised data, but you could write software to store/retrieve data from within there."

      SA has many features when I paint by those I may forget, it is fantastic If you can embed some information in jpg and when I open that SA can Read stored data and load my preset or PAS.
      I know another application do this with success.

      • I love the idea of storing the image's recipe (i.e. SA settings) within the image itself. 

    • Request #2:

      1-adding search box to top of all TAB for search only there.

      2-Drag and Drop Any to Any

      3-Save/Load to/From memory for editor options

      2472688784?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

      2472702438?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

      • If you have an element in a list selected, and you type in a letter or word, the list selection will move to the named entry you typed in. So it seems like the search in current list feature you want is already there.

        What drag and drop features do you want that are currently missing? You can drag and drop an image from finder to source area. If you want to drag and drop current preset, start from the current preset icon.

        If i understand your question about save/load to the editor memories, i believe session files do that as part of the all of the information they save and restore in the session file. Also, the whole point of favorites is to provide that feature using preset files. Studio Artist 1,2,3 all had a much larger set of preset memory buttons that included preview images. We added the favorites preset browser as a replacement for them. 

    • Request #3:
      Better batch file Process for Saving even Svg and other formats

      Request #6:
      Save to vector PDF directly just like Svg/Eps

      Request #7:
      Script engine

      Request #8:
      Flower/Tree generator

      Request #9:
      Zentangle

      Request #10:
      We have triangulation please add quadrangles

      Request #11:
      An Low Poly Editor with using quad/triangle something like this

      Request #12:
      generate Cache File for mosaic in the same directory For very fast loading

      • Just to clarify #3. You can already batch process multiple images to eps or svg by using the appropriate action : process with PAseq : image to eps or svg menu commands.

        Is this what you mean by 'batch', or do you want to run multiple PASeqs to process an image folder to eps or svg with one command?

Interdimensional Coincidence Control

Hi everyone, I am glad the site is still here! Here is a new short video I made. All made in Studio Artist, several separate videos with alpha channels, then combined in layers with the music in Blender. A lot of MSG running through brushes, with several of the brush Path Starts being controlled by the MSG Scan Generator in the Generator part of the Path Start in the Paint Synthesizer. Also some MSG running through a brush, then making a video of that with an alpha channel, then making that a…

Whats going on with this site?

Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
