Jul 21, 2023
  • Bug fixing

New in FitPlot 9.0.0 (Jul 21, 2023)

  • Minimum version macOS 10.15
  • New "fillet" trim style option: with this trim style, the cut sign is drawn by a rect (no fill and process black hairline strokes) surrounding the image at user given offset distance.
  • Autosave (option): with this feature ON user don't need to save documents explicitly or be concerned about losing unsaved changes. This option can be set in FitPlot defaults dialog.
  • Quicklook and thumbnails redesigned: now the preview of the documents (in Finder, select a FitPlot document and press the space bar) is more reliable, as well as the FitPlot documents icons.
  • Fixings:
  • Expand PDF: corrected problem with the generated pages.
  • Business Card imposition: fixed crash in particular circumstances.
  • Margins: corrected problem with margins top and bottom exchanged (in case they were different).
  • Notes:
  • The log database structure has been modified, accordingly with necessary changes occurred for the newer OS.
  • It is advisable that older and newer FitPlot versions don't share the same log database.

New in FitPlot 8.2.0 (Mar 31, 2022)

  • Improvement in wrap canvas feature: added stretching value for the border images, option also for group and trim signs

  • Improved trim sign control and copies management for business cards imposition
  • Added option to use a multipage pdf without indicating a back page in business card imposition
  • Option to snap guides (while moving them around) to the page notable points (center, margins)
  • Added a column indicating the page number (for multipage PDFs) in the items list panel
  • Bug fixing and interface improvements

New in FitPlot 8.0.0 (Mar 31, 2022)

  • New app icon
  • New canvas wrap feature: the canvas is bordered (by an input value) adding a clipped and reflected part of the photo itself
  • Improved Black Point Compensation (BPC) now available for all rendering intents

  • Other minor improvement and bug fixings

New in FitPlot 7.9.0 (Dec 29, 2021)

  • Import AI (Adobe® Illustrator) files
  • Bug fixing and interface improvements

New in FitPlot 7.8.0 (Oct 4, 2021)

  • Universal version: FitPlot runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers.
  • Small bugs fixing and interface improvements.

New in FitPlot 7.7.0 (Oct 1, 2021)

  • Cut & Stack imposition:
  • This kind of imposition arranges the PDF pages on a base sheet in way that printed sheets will form a sorted stack.
  • That stack can then be cut in piles that, stacked in order on top of each other, will compose the final book.

New in FitPlot 7.6.0 (Mar 14, 2021)

  • Bleed control:
  • The bleed is the part on the side of an image that gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper.
  • With this new feature, it is easy to set a bleed value to apply to all selected images.
  • In the end you'll obtain images expanded of the given amount on each side.
  • Also, optionally, trim marks will be placed at the four corners.
  • Other:
  • Small bug fixing and interface improvements.

New in FitPlot 7.5.0 (Dec 7, 2020)

  • Custom strokes (weight, color, position):
  • Now you can choose between 6 preset strokes weights + a custom stroke.
  • Also you can set the stroke color as you like.
  • You can set the stroke position in front or back respect to the image you are framing.
  • All this controls are individually applicable (for each image, in the object info panel) or on a selection (using the Tool menu).
  • Alignment options:
  • By default objects alignment were performed upon the images edges taking into account the current styles (for example trims, strokes, text tags).
  • With this version, I have added the option to exclude styles from the alignment, in this way only the "true" edges are aligned.
  • To include this option, while clicking in the alignment tools in the toolbar, hold down the shift key.
  • Alignment dialog:
  • With this new dialog is easy to understand every aspect of the alignment of objects in FitPlot.
  • You can call this dialog from the Tool -> Align with Dialog… menu or with the [cmd =] shortcut.
  • It includes the new option (to exclude styles from the alignment calculations).
  • Bug fixing / improvements in:
  • Auto insert preset (to include new strokes weight and colors)
  • Drag and Drop with MacOS 15
  • Adding / removing devices (scanners)

New in FitPlot 7.2.3 (Oct 6, 2020)

  • Bug Fixing: some FitPlot issues emerged with MacOS Catalina have been fixed.

New in FitPlot 6.4.0 (Jul 13, 2018)

  • Items List Panel:
  • It's possible to reorder the images on the document stack by file name alphabetic order (click on the header of the "file name" column). This is useful while printing contact sheets with image file name tag.
  • Undo reorder (to get back to the previous state after a reordering, see point above).
  • Select elements on the drawing moving the selection on the table with the arrow keys up and down.
  • Snap to page center:
  • Moving an image (with click and drag), you should snap image to the appearing horizontal or vertical guides passing from the page center.
  • Contact sheet:
  • Added the option "file name tag" in the contact sheet dialog. The same setting (in the dialog), will be used in all the contact sheet quick menus.
  • Improved the undo while doing contact sheets.
  • Printer's margins:
  • After a print, whenever current document margins differ from just used printer margins, a dialog will propose you to update the document's margin to the new ones.
  • Bug fixing:
  • Copy and paste of attributes, now works as established in the default settings.
  • Auto packing when sending prints to FitPlot, now works as established in the default settings.
  • Multipage packing with floor / ceiling algorithm. Fixed possible crash when trying to pack an image in a small area and the resize image is set to OFF.
  • Progress indicators for long operations has returned!
  • FitPlot Manual PDF:
  • A FitPlot manual (in printable PDF) is available for download on the official site.
  • The manual includes a clickable index with all the characteristics and specific chapters on any FitPlot feature, where each command is deeply explained with illustrations and screenshots. At the end you'll find a rich appendix with references to the program main window, the info / edit panel and all the commands available in the program toolbar.

New in FitPlot 6.3.0 (Dec 30, 2017)

  • CONTACT SHEET:
  • This new command performs a kind of "Nesting" suitable to arrange images in rows and columns, commonly known as contact sheet.
  • You can find this command inside [Tools -> Contact Sheet…] menu with [cmd + J] as keyboard shortcut.
  • When launched, the program shows up a dialog where we can set all needed variables; if you are lazy, I've just prepared some quick menus (with presets suitable for the vertical formats A4 / letter or similar).
  • These "quick menus" are in the [Tools -> Predefined Contact Sheet]:
  • Portrait 3x3 [ctrl + 4]
  • Portrait 4x4 [ctrl + 5]
  • Portrait 5x5 [ctrl + 6]
  • Landscape 2x4 [ctrl + 7]
  • Landscape 3x6 [ctrl + 8]
  • Use Saved Preferences… [ctrl + J]
  • PREDEFINED NESTINGS:
  • Some quick menus (with relative keyboard shortcuts) allow to perform nesting of images in a FitPlot document in an only move.
  • These are the items you can find in the [Tools -> Predefined Nestings] menu:
  • Less Paper on Wide Format [ctrl + 0]
  • Less Paper on Single Sheets [ctrl + 1]
  • Less Cuts on Wide Format [ctrl + 2]
  • Less Cuts on Single Sheets [ctrl + 3]
  • Use Saved Preferences… [ctrl + K]
  • MENU [OBJECT PRINT STYLE -> NONE]:
  • The first item of the [Object Print Style] menu is now the "None" style. Choosing this item will cause the removal of all styles applied to one image (or more images, in case you are using the contextual menu) in a single operation.
  • IMPROVEMENTS IN THE "IMPORT SETTINGS FROM…" COMMAND:
  • This command allows to import settings such as page format, for example, from other documents or templates. With this improvement you can now import also images and magnetic guides that are present in the file to import. The images, if present, are, upon request, placed above or below images that are already on the current document.
  • ADDED THE NEW FILE TYPE "FITPLOT BUNDLE TEMPLATE":
  • This kind of file will be, from now on, proposed as the FitPlot model document default (the documents to save in the templates folder).
  • This file type has the advantage to save all images in a self contained "package" with guaranteed portability. It is stil possible to save in the old "fitplot template" file, for retro-compatibility, but it is no more the default type.
  • IMPROVEMENTS AND BUGS FIXING:
  • When a packing fails, the program shows more deeply where the problem hides and offers the chance to try again (suggesting the change of some parameters).
  • Some minor problems have been fixed.

New in FitPlot 6.2.1 (Aug 22, 2017)

  • New command Trim Signs Control…: you can use this command to set up cut signs suitable for optical reading to be used with cutters Fotoba® Digitrim.
  • Units of measure: the unit mm (millimeters) has been added in the FitPlot main window. Hook object along bounds: with the "snap on bounds" activated, you can move and hook images with Fotoba® markers (see point 1. above) between them, in way to overlap the shared trim marks.
  • Bug fixing. In this version several problems has been fixed, thanks to users feedback. We strongly invite you to collaborate by communicating problems, as well as ideas that may be included in future versions of FitPlot.

New in FitPlot 6.1.1 (Mar 8, 2017)

  • Completed transition toward high-resolution Retina displays with new cursors and other interface graphics.
  • New pixel ratio mode (in the preferences panel) that shows actual sizes (when zoom is 1:1) on the screen.
  • Bug fixing

New in FitPlot 6.1.0 (Jan 25, 2017)

  • New packing / nesting option based on the floor / ceiling bin packing algorithm [inspired to the work "Algorithms for Two-Dimensional Bin Packing and Assignment Problems" by Andrea Lodi]. The floor / ceiling algorithm could be less efficient in saving space, but it has the advantage to re-arrange the objects aligned on floor / ceiling lines, suitable for image cutting.
  • Interface improved:
  • Automatic guides: when this option is activated and you're moving an object around, you should see / snap temporary guides connecting the moving object to the one(s) it is approaching to, allowing an easy alignment to sides / centers points.
  • A new option allows to snap object to the border of the page and to the margin sides.
  • Guides can now snap to objects on the page, even if the objects are not selected.
  • New object display mode called shape: only the shape and the average color (with a light transparency) of an image are shown on the screen. This allows a quicker video refresh and an easier use of the new automatic guides option. There are now three display modes: low resolution, high resolution and shape only, you can toggle the three from the toolbar or via menu.
  • Optimized refresh: the program is more responsive.
  • Bug fixing:
  • The 6 version has required a rewrite of large parts of the code. This has caused the emerging of unwanted errors in some of the program's functions, errors which, unfortunately, passed the control before release.

New in FitPlot 6.0.2 (Nov 18, 2016)

  • Fixes a major problem encountered with PDF.

New in FitPlot 6.0.1 (Oct 19, 2016)

  • New color management panel: FitPlot gives you more control in the color flow chain that starts with the camera / scanner and concludes with the final print, including your display device in between.
  • Export Single Image: with this command it is possible to export the selected image, saving it as TIF. The saved image will reflect both the current image adjust settings (brightness, saturation, contrast, exposure, tinte, CLUT effect) and the color space currently in use (according to settings in the color management panel).
  • Crop spaces dialog: allows to change side crop spaces on all selected images at once.
  • New set of icons in the toolbar, fully refurbished for the retina displays [Icons made or inspired by Freepik from www.flaticon.com ].
  • Bug fixes.
  • Adjust Image panel revised:
  • Histogram image in place of the color space pop-up that is now outdated by the new color management.
  • New effects filter (color lookup table) in the image adjust panel, to give a touch of style to your RGB images. A page with samples of the 35 effects is available on the FitPlot official website.

New in FitPlot 5.8.0 (Jul 6, 2016)

  • Import from Connected Devices.
  • Export as TIF 16bit@300dpi:
  • This menu command exports the current FitPlot document page in a tiff file. The saved file will have a depth of 16 bit at 300 dpi and will have the color profile chosen in the export dialog.
  • This feature has been temporarily introduced to meet expectations of professional users that prefer to manage the color flow control with other softwares, but want to maintain the power and flexibility that FitPlot gives while composing the layout.
  • We are working for a better implementation in next coming releases.
  • Import from Scanner:
  • These menu commands allows to import images in FitPlot directly from connected devices as scanners, cameras, smartphones, tablets, smart cards.
  • Acquired images are directly inserted on the FitPlot sheet and the relative files are saved on the disk.
  • Items List Panel improved:
  • The images's list is now more clear. It's now possible to move images along the level stack (bring up/down) just with a click / drag / release of a row.
  • Has been added a contextual menu for the most common operations and a new feature has been added: Revert Stack Order, see the next item.
  • Revert Stack Order:
  • This menu command reverse the stack order of the images inserted in the document. This can be useful to obtain that images (sharing the same size) are correctly ordered after the packing command.

New in FitPlot 5.7.2 (Mar 12, 2016)

  • New icon
  • Bugs fixed

New in FitPlot 5.7.1 (Feb 19, 2016)

  • Bugs fixes

New in FitPlot 5.7.0 (Oct 20, 2015)

  • This update is needed to grant full compatibility with Mac OSX 10.11 (El Capitan).
  • Potential bugs were discovered and, hopefully, they have been fixed.
  • Moreover you'll find small interface changes (all utility panels have abandoned the HUD look, that was more elegant, but, under some circumstances, less clear).
  • Most relevant fixed bugs:
  • Possible crash during pdf duplication (only on Mac OSX 10.11) - Fixed
  • Histogram in the ICD panel was unreliable (only on Mac OSX 10.11) - Fixed
  • Magnetic guides: where not saved with the document - Fixed
  • Magnetic guides: the cursor (when over a guide) was showing only if an image was selected - Fixed
  • Magnetic guides management improved:
  • It is now possible to create a grid of magnetic guides opportunely spaced. The grid can be useful in many jobs.
  • New menu items lock / unlock guides avoid / consent the moving of the guides while clicking on images.
  • Locked guides are easily recognisable by the dash style.

New in FitPlot 5.6.0 (Jun 25, 2015)

  • New ICD dialog containing also RGB histogram and preview of the examined page.
  • QuickLook plugin updated to accomplish new document type.
  • Small interface retouches and bugs fixing.
  • FitPlot bundle document type:
  • Now there are 2 ways to store FitPlot files to suit the way you work and you can decide which will be the default. Previously, your FitPlot docs only included links to the files you inserted and this kept the FitPlot doc size as small as possible. The new variation is a FitPlot Bundle, a single files that includes full copies of each file you insert into the FitPlot doc. Sure it's a bigger file but much more portable.
  • Which method is better? That depends on you and either can be set as your default. Do you only work on one computer and keep all the source files in fixed locations? An ordinary FitPlot doc will work fine for you. Do you often need to move FitPlot docs from place to place or computer to computer? Do you regularly send files to colleagues or customers? Then FitPlot Bundle is for you because all the inserted files are already packed and ready to go.
  • Of course, you can switch between doc types, a FitPlot Bundle can be saved as a plain FitPlot doc and a plain FitPlot doc can be saved as a Bundle for the times when you do need to share or send. FitPlot doc leaves everything where you put it and FitPlot Bundle packages everything together so however you work, FitPlot has you covered.
  • You can set your new documents default type from the preferences panel, attributes tab.

New in FitPlot 5.5.0 (Apr 9, 2015)

  • Export As Image: from this version it is possible to export the current page in various raster image's formats like png, jpg, tif and raster pdf.
  • Show / hide image: with this new property, each element inserted in FitPlot may be hidden or showed for editing purposes (for example to reveal an object that is covered by another).
  • Pinch zoom for Macs equipped with trackpad. Use two fingers diverging / converging on the trackpad to obtain a zoom in / out of the view.
  • Smart zoom for Macs equipped with trackpad or magic mouse. A double tap with two fingers toggles view from fit the window to fit the selected object (if any) or zoom to width.
  • Resize to Photo Standard Sizes: this menus constraints selected images to a size from standard international sizes (metric or imperial).
  • Interface retouches and bugs fixing.
  • New image relink options: until now, when replacing an image, using the relink feature ([change] button in the info panel or double click on the image), the replacing image inherited scale, rotation, crops etc. from the source. Now there are three options:
  • Same source scale %: this is the old behavior, the replacing image assume the scale % of the source.
  • Fit source box: in this case the replacing image is scaled to match opportunely one side of the box, centering the image in the box and leaving blank the exceeding spaces.
  • Fill source box: with this option, the box is entirely filled by the replacing image, scaling it opportunely and cropping the exceeding part to maintain the source ratio.• New image relink options: until now, when replacing an image, using the relink feature ([change] button in the info panel or double click on the image), the replacing image inherited scale, rotation, crops etc. from the source. Now there are three options:
  • 1. Same source scale %: this is the old behavior, the replacing image assume the scale % of the source.
  • 2. Fit source box: in this case the replacing image is scaled to match opportunely one side of the box, centering the image in the box and leaving blank the exceeding spaces.
  • 3. Fill source box: with this option, the box is entirely filled by the replacing image, scaling it opportunely and cropping the exceeding part to maintain the source ratio.

New in FitPlot 5.2.1 (Dec 8, 2014)

  • Business Cards Imposition: with this new feature FitPlot winks to the typography's world and becomes, even more, a powerful and economical instrument for prepress operations. This tool allows to easily impose a large number of business cards (or similar jobs) in a prepress layout, automatically composing front / back for you.
  • This new feature has so many customizations that calling it "business cards' imposition" it is limiting. In fact it can be applied in every situations where you have a front / back's composition of cards (or sheets) of the same size.
  • Crop marks on sides: crop marks are now independent for each side of an image.
  • Crop marks can now be set singularly (on four sides) from the info panel, from styles menu and, automatically, from the new "business cards' imposition" and from the old imposition (booklets).
  • Grid of magnetic guides: both the "business cards' imposition" that the old imposition (booklets) have, in their dialogs, the possibility to create (or remove) a grid of magnetic guides to help in manual editing.
  • Scale and transformations: the Scale and transformations tool inherits, in its dialog, options / controls on crop marks introduced in this and in the previous version.
  • Minor problems fixed, some optimization / improving introduced in the interface.

New in FitPlot 5.1.0 (Oct 9, 2014)

  • Many novelties in this version.
  • Imposition: Added the option "reverse page order". In some languages the binding is on the right side of the book and to successfully print a book you will have to create your imposition in reverse order.
  • Imposition: 2 Up Saddle Stitch has now the option to group the imposition in booklets. In this way it is possible to subdivide the multipage PDF in parts (booklets) with a fixed number of pages (from 4 to 32 pages, steps of 4). There is still the option to make a single booklet composed of all the PDF pages.
  • Movable trim marks: trim's signs are no more limited to the image border, now they can be traslated inside or outside of a custom distance value.
  • Just set the trim marks ON (for the selected image) using the style pop-up, then expand the info panel to reveal the trim offset field. Here you can type a value in the current unit of measure. Positive values will move trims outside, negative values let slide the trims on the border, toward the center of the image.
  • Import Settings from…: it is possible to change the document settings (page size, page margins and ranges, packing preferences and other settings) with a simple click (menu File->Import Settings from…), getting the new ones either from a saved model (in the templates folder) than from an existing file.
  • In this way it is easy, for example, set, if necessary, the current document from A2 to A1 page size. It is sufficient to have pre-organized the template folder with the set of preferred page sizes or to have a saved FitPlot document that you know to have the page size you need.
  • About panel: renewed. The push button driving to the App Store (inviting to review) is more evident. Added a push button to leave suggestions and feedback, see point below.
  • Feedback: added menu Help->feedback… that open the browser to the feedback page specially created to get a space of discussion with the FitPlot community.
  • Improvements and bugs fixing: particularly interested sections are Undo management, trim marks not drawed in printing, preference recording, imposition folio gap.

New in FitPlot 5.0.2 (Aug 16, 2014)

  • Fixed occasional bug with PDF export
  • New page background color / pattern options in the preferences

New in FitPlot 5.0.1 (Jul 24, 2014)

  • Groups: From now on it is possible to group more images in FitPlot in order to use them as a single unit when moving, resizing, rotating, packing and other operations.
  • Open PDF: FitPlot is now able to "open" PDF files. Opening a PDF in FitPlot has the same effect of inserting, that is, when you have a FitPlot doc in front and you File -> Open a PDF document, that PDF will be inserted in the current window. Whenever FitPlot has no document currently opened, an Untitled one will be opened (with the same characteristics of the last one used) and the PDF will be inserted in it.
  • Send PDF to FitPlot: thanks to the new Open PDF feature, it is now possible another property: FitPlot can be launched simply by dropping a PDF on its icon. This property can be exploited by other applications that are normally used to produce the PDF (that we feed to FitPlot). We can, for example, choose to send a PDF to FitPlot from the print dialog of our preferred CAD application. The produced PDF will be automatically inserted in the FitPlot document currently open (if any) or in an Untitled document with the same characteristics of the last one used. To add this feature it is required a small procedure that necessarily has to be performed from the Finder.
Instructions about the procedure are available in a video or in a text starting from this link: http://fitplot.it/FitPlot help/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/pgs/workflowPDF.htm.
  • Real bounds: Until this version, images in FitPlot had boundaries that were corresponding to the minimal rectangle containing the image itself (or its clipping, if any). Effects due to syles as trims, text tags, shadow or strokes were not at all considered. Since now, both groups and packing functions, take into account the real bound of the image. Moreover strokes are drawn "after" the image and not "before" as in previous versions. As a result, the stroke thickness appears doubled and occupies both inner and outer of the image border.
  • Fixed bugs and other optimizations: better packing: if a multipage packing fails (due to some impossible chosen settings), blank pages, generated while attempting the packing, are no longer created.
  • Icon of the program renewed.

New in FitPlot 4.7.0 (Aug 13, 2013)

  • ICD: [ink coverage density] testify the ink coverage per square unit (density), and is useful to calculate the analytic cost of a printing.
  • Log Browser panel. Now it is possible to see the print jobs log directly inside FitPlot, having a look at all those parameters that are useful to make bills, statistics and so on.
  • Pages Browser panel. Starting with this version, FitPlot offers a utility panel for browsing pages in a multipage FitPlot document. The panel replaces the pop over of the previous version and the drawer of the oldest versions. The advantage is that the new panel can permanently stay in front even when editing the document, since it can count on a very optimized refreshing.
  • Other improvements:
  • Fit to object view and general re-organization of the view menu
  • Sandbox dialog (when opening file) can now be cancelled
  • Progress bar (with long operations) is more reliable
  • Bug fixes:
  • Corrected bug in the log folder selection (printers panel).
  • Corrected error in the size / resolution computations in the image adjust panel
  • Corrected bug when selecting white as background color in the preferences panel.
  • Other minor bugs fixed

New in FitPlot 4.5.2 (Apr 10, 2013)

  • Fixed bug in the export as PDF tool

New in FitPlot 4.5.1 (Mar 15, 2013)

  • Image adjust panel improved:
  • the panel has been reduced in size and a couple of features have been added:
  • Rendering Intent:
  • when changing the color space of a raster image we can specify the rendering intent to be applied. Moreover, color spaces now includes not only printers spaces, but video and other special spaces too (blue tones, sepia, black and withe, web safe colors etc.).
  • Resolution control:
  • a useful feature to check the optimal resolution for raster images inserted in a FitPlot document.
  • Plotter roll monitoring:
  • starting with this release we have thought to take advantage of the data recorded in the log files (each print job has parameters that are recorded in log files since version 2.7). The idea (experimental) is to count paper consumed to know, for example, if the paper remained on the plotter roll is enough to perform the printing of the current document.
  • Full screen:
  • like a typical OS 10.7 mac app FitPlot supports the full screen mode.
  • When in full screen the old page drawer (when operating in multipage documents) has been replaced by the latest trends, the pop over.
  • Sandbox:
  • better implementation brings the user interface like it was before the pre-sandbox era.
  • Bugs fixed and improvements:
  • Scroll wheel Zoom improved
  • Added view menu for fit to window, real size and other short cut zooms
  • Editing handles are now visible even in case the handle is covered by another image on the foreground
  • Popover in substitution of drawer to see pages (in FitPlot multipage documents)
  • Image adjust panel less bulky
  • Other minor fixing / improving
  • Fixed minimum system requirements to MacOS 10.7.3

  • Other minor fixing / improving

New in FitPlot 4.2.0 (Oct 13, 2012)

  • Sandbox ready
  • 64 bit architecture:
  • The program is now 64 bit. This means that there is no more limit to the memory the program can use (as long as there is space available in RAM and in the hard disk). So there should be no more crashes or problems due to memory leak (when dealing with many images or big files). This prevent crashes but, of course, if you RAM is completely used and the program uses the disk space as virtual memory, you should note a slow down of the responsiveness because data access from hard disk is slower.
  • Memory management improvement:
  • Together with the 64 bit adoption, a lot of work have been done about memory consumption. You should note real speed up in multipage PDF's operations (such as imposition), images duplication etc..
  • New packing / nesting algorithm:
  • Based on the work "A Thousand Ways to Pack the Bin - A Practical Approach to Two-Dimensional Rectangle Bin Packing" by Jukka Jylänki. This new algorithm combines the usual FitPlot simplicity with better results.
  • Orientation menu tool:
  • It now possible to rotate (selected) images in portrait, landscape or reset to original orientation. This may be useful, together with auto resize and packing, whenever you want to print a set of imported photos in a grid (2x2 or more images per page).
  • UI improvements:
  • The user experience should take advantage also in the adoption of determinate progress bars (whenever it has been possible) that makes long operations waiting no more uncertain.
  • Bugs fixed:
  • Fixed a bug when doing imposition with resized PDFs (other than 100%).
  • Some minor bug fixed.

New in FitPlot 4.1.0 (Jun 1, 2012)

  • Trim page: with this tool you can trim unused paper around the image/s.
  • Screen/window capture feature, placing the resulting image directly in FitPlot.
  • Imposition is now more friendly, more options on PDF / page resizing to get a perfect signature.
  • Fixed problem with cursors. Now they works like a charm.
  • Pivot coordinates in the info panel now reflects their real position.

New in FitPlot 3.5 (Mar 14, 2011)

  • Since this version the minimum version is MacOSX 10.5.
  • This is due to new features and underhood changes.
  • Adjust image panel:
As promised in the 3.2 version, the adoption of the core image technology brings new possibilities in image retouching directly from inside FitPlot.
  • Adjusting comprehends color spaces, brightenss, contrast, saturation, exposure and tinte (just to start…).
  • These functions are exclusively for raster images (jpg, tif, png…) and not for vectorials (pdf, eps, ps).
  • 
Note: Image retouching is applied inside FitPlot.
  • The source image (inserted in the FitPlot document) is not affected by the adjusting at all.

  • Attributes Copy and Paste (edit menu and contextual menu):
Now you can copy and paste attributes from an image to another in the FitPlot document.
You can copy size (area), angle, shadow, line, dash, label and all image adjust settings.
Attributes to copy / paste are determined by the new attributes preferences tab.

Note: In the image adjust panel there is a special push button to copy and paste only the color spaces, brightenss, contrast, saturation, exposure and tinte values.
  • Quick templates menu:

  • If you have organized your FitPlot templates in the templates folder then you should be able to see all your files divided by folder (printer) and file name, as in the snapshot below.

  • Pasteboard images (images inserted in FitPlot via Copy and Paste from other application via Drag and Drop from a web browser):

  • The pasteboard images policy (used in earlier versions) has been changed in order to apply them the new image adjust functionality (it was not possible on images not resident on the local disk).
  • 
The old pasteboard behavior panel in the preferences has disappeared.
Now it will works this way: when you paste or drop an image from another program or web browser, the image is inserted in the FitPlot document and, at the same time, it is saved on the disk (as temporary file).
  • Saving the FitPlot document, you'll be requested to store all the used temporary images in a folder that is up to you to choose and with a name composed by a prefix (you decide it, too) and an automatic progressive numbering.
  • 
If you can decide to discard the document, doing so, while quitting FitPlot all unused temporary images will be erased.
As a side effect of this (r)evolution, when pasting objects copied from a vectorial program (such as Pages® or Illustrator), the resulting image will mantain its vectoriality (the temporary file will be, in effect, a PDF), with all the advantages of a vectorial image (enlarging without loss of quality).

  • Low Res image (for editing):
  • Added a control in the preferences (environment) to set the image's resolution to be used during editing and while in low resolution mode.
In the window toolbar there is a low / high resolution button to render images to screen in low or high quality.
  • Printing is not affected by this control, of course.
  • 
In high resolution mode it is always used the best resolution available for the image.
  • 
Low quality mode (for editing) is set by this slider between 0.1 (rough) and 1 (fine).
  • 
Images in low resolution are useful to speed up video refreshing while editing.
  • Even in high resolution mode, while editing (move or crop), the low resolution image is used.

  • Minor changes:
  • Improved batch image replacing: while replacing one or more images, the new one will retain (where possible) all the attributes of the replaced one.
  • Packing: you can optionally include printer margins in the area for packing calculation.
In this way, for example, if you have images of 21x29,7cm (A4) you can pack them one per page in an A4 paper size (before, if printer margins were set, the result was a packing not possible message).

  • Here's the new packing dialog:
  • Added menu (contextual, too) to change link / reveal an image in the Finder.
  • Constrained movement (shift key) of images strongly improved.
  • Added tool buttons to show / hide info and edit panels.
  • QuickLook very improved.
  • Now it shows attributes and image adjusting in the preview / icon of the document.
  • Added splashScreen.

New in FitPlot 3.2 (Sep 19, 2010)

  • These are the new features:
  • More color space control:
  • You can change / assign directly the color profile on each inserted raster images (not PDF or eps!) via the info panel. Further explainations in the Usage/About color matching section.
  • Technical note:
  • This feature is obtained with the Core Image technology adoption. With Core Image adoption future versions of FitPlot will avail themselves of a series of filters (brightness, contrast, exposure, as well as distortions, blurs etc.), and the ability to take advantage of the graphics card's GPU* processing that perform the calculation faster and lightening CPU task.
  • Batch image substitution tool:
  • You can usually substitute an image double-clicking on it and choosing another one from the file browser. The new feature allows to change all copies of the same images (on the current document) at once. The program knows that an image is present in more than one instance and asks the user if he wants to substitute all same images or just the double-clicked / selected one.
  • If the image to change is a multipage PDF, each page will mantain the same number in the substitute image (if multipage too) unless that page number does not exists, in such case the page number is set to 1.
  • PDF multipage expansion:
  • PDF expansion tool: This feature "expands" and distributes the PDFs with more than one page, creating the needed pages (in one column) and inserting the relative PDF page in each FitPlot page. This could be done in previous versions, but not in a single step.
  • Registration Marks:
  • Useful feature in multipage mode. Setting the number of pages, for example 2x3=6 pages, with an overlap of 3 cm (both vertical and horizontal), you have the option to print registration marks very useful to re-join the printed pages. The marks are printed on the four corner of each page (the distance is halfway the overlap value, 1.5 x, 1.5 y from each side) and numbered with a row/column identificator. Other marks are printed alongside in number of one each 4 inches or 10 cm or 250 pts (according with the current unit of measure). See Pagination section for further details.
  • Quick look support:
  • Quick look technology, introduced with Apple® MacOs X 10.5 (Leopard), lets you instantly preview the content of a FitPlot file without ever opening it. Just select the FitPlot document in Finder and press the space bar, a window appears, showing you the contents of the file instantly (well, it depends on the more or less heavyness of the file's content!). Quick look is even able to set the file's icon according with the file's content.
  • These are the fixes / optimisations:
  • Imposition -> 2Up saddle stich: pages disposition minor problem corrected.
  • Packing -> Add new pages: solved a (major) problem that, in some situations, caused a "loop" with consequent program hanging (rainbow cursor).
  • Pagination -> Undo/Redo: now works correctly.
  • Undo on images insertion, works again.
  • Image insertion in multipage mode, now the image is inserted correctly in the current page, not in the page 1 like before.
  • Minor bug fixed not worthing to mention.

New in FitPlot 3.0 (Sep 14, 2009)

  • Memory improvements: to encounter the needs of many users working with very big photografic files, I have (hopefully) fixed some memory leaking problem. The program now requires an amount of RAM equal to the sum of the image's sizes (raw sizes, as when opened in Photoshop) plus the memory occupied by the document undo stack (see the new menu "Clear Undo Stack" here below). That is, more RAM you get, more big images you can import.
Furthermore, copies of the same image on the document, share the same cached original image giving big benefit in duplications and serial duplications jobs.
WARNING: usage of very big images is limited by the impossibility due to the operating system to allocate enough contiguous memory. This limit, in 32 bit systems, is 4GB (virtual), practically there may be problems even with 1GB images if the contiguos space in RAM or virtual RAM is unavailable; in 64 bit systems (when FitPlot will be compiled for the 64 bit architecture) the virtual memory limit rises to 16EB (Exabyte = 2^63 bit) theorical, practically speaking it should be easy to find some therabyte contiguous.
CAUTION: opening a FitPlot document with very big images or inserting one or more very big images could cause memory leaking problems! You notice this by seeing your images appearing as white rectangles or showing (inappropriately) the broken link logo. In such situations you have incurred in a memory leak error (FitPlot is unable to allocate enough memory for your big images). Quit FitPlot, try to reduce images dimension and, to recover memory room, close all unneeded apps. Then relaunch FitPlot ant try again.

  • New tools added:
  • Export PDF (corrensponding to the File->Export PDF menu item).
  • Advanced insertion ON / OFF . You can choose to apply or not automatic operations at insertion directly from the tool bar, no need to go in the preference panel.
  • New menus added:
  • Clear Undo Stack… menu. This new command allows to regain memory resetting the Undo Stack.
It often happens that, inserting and removing many images, expecially big ones, these continue to consume memory because you can recover them scrolling back the undo chain. The "Clear Undo Stack…" command clears completely the Undo stack freeing memory, but causing the impossibility to recover again actions done until this point.
  • Help menu extended to all the main FitPlot topics.
  • Check version updates. From the 2.9 version you can verify directly from inside FitPlot if a new release is available and, in case, download it (needs an active internet connection, of course!). .
  • Magnetic guides:
  • Usability very improved.
  • To create a new guide, just click on a ruler area and drag the mouse on the drawing.
  • Click and drag a guide to move it elsewhere.
  • Guides snaps on objects leading points (objects must be selected to "attract" guides).
  • The fasten between guide and point (and vice versa) is evidenced by "snap" sound.
  • To place exactly a guide, just double-click it and set the value in the showed field.
  • To get rid of a guide, just drag it out passing over the parallel ruler.
  • Improving in interface:
  • The selected page in the drawer (when pages in the document are more than 1) is now well evidenced.
  • Added a pop up button in the margins dialog to get automatic margin values from the chosen printer.
  • Print and Page Setup dialogs now open as "sheet" tied to the window they refer.

New in FitPlot 2.8 (Mar 24, 2009)

  • Magnetic guides: just clicking in the rulers area (vertical or horizontal), you get a magnetic guide. Objects sides easily snap to guides.
  • To move a guide simply drag its position tracker (triangle) along the ruler.
  • At the same way, to get rid of a guide, drag its indicator out of the ruler.
  • Snap distance and guide color are customizable in the preferences panel.
  • Drag&Drop enhanced: beyond the drag&drop toward FitPlot, it is now available the drag from FitPlot to the desktop or other apps.
  • You just have to press the alt key (or the alt+cmd keys together) before starting to click and drag the object.
  • In the first way (alt), releasing the object on the desktop, you'll get a copy of the original referenced image, the other case (alt+cmd), will create an alias of the referenced image.
  • Dropping objects from FitPlot to other graphic applications should cause the opening of the app or the insertion of the image in the specific program work area.
  • Drop on the pages drawer: the same way as above, we can drop an object (from the Finder or from FitPlot itself) on any page in the opened pages drawer (see pages drawer in Pagination section).
  • Dragging an image from the FitPlot area toward the pages drawer, with the same keys combination as seen before, will cause respectively a copy or a displacement of the dropped object in the destination page. The position, relatively to the new page, will be preserved.
  • Packing: packing algorithm offers some new options.
  • First of all, to the existing packing modes (single page printer or plotter) it is added the pack in area (the area is user defined describing a rect with the mouse when prompted).
  • Second point, now you can choose to perform packing on all elements in the document (as it has been before now) or just on a selected set. This way, combined with the pack in area, lets you fill a particular area with some selected images avoiding unwanted move of already placed objects.
  • Page setup…: a button on the main window (next to the custom sizes and SET controls) makes easier to pick one from the printer driver's page sizes lists. It has the same effect of the File -> Page Setup… menu.
  • Move object dialog improved: it is now possible to move the current selection of objects (cmd+M) making a copy of it. A further option in the move dialog allows to move the selection to a given page (to choose between the available pages), eventually making a copy.
  • Other Improving to the interface and some bug fixed:
  • Cursors in manual editing (when the mouse approaches the pivot handles) are now perfectly reliable.
  • Grid snap when resizing in now working fine (limited to the sole X snap).
  • Snaps comprehends also the just implemented magnetic guides.
  • Keyboard event manager has been revised. Added the turn page with the keys Page Up, Page Down, Home e End (when pages drawer is opened).
  • Fixed possible bug with color preferences (selections, grid etc.).
  • Fixed some discovered minor bug.

New in FitPlot 2.7 (Dec 28, 2008)

  • Log files. Fitplot creates and updates (by default) a couple of file to keep track of your printed jobs. Each printed FitPlot document is recorded in a text file with its informations such as images being printed, paper consumption, date, etc.. These informations can easily be post-elaborated in a spreadsheet or database program for billing or statistic purposes.
  • Custom text tag. You can enter a text to be displayed as caption for each image.
  • Adjustable text tag. The new custom text and the other available strings (date, size, file name and file path) can be displayed in a caption adjustable on any of the 4 image's sides.
  • Constrain max dimension. When you perform a resize by Transormation dialog or even at insertion with auto resizing on, you can choose to constrain the max between height and width to a given value.
  • Move dialog. Now you can move all selected objects, of a given value, just type command-M and fill the delta X and Y values.
  • Folders insertion. When inserting images, choosing them from the file browser, now you can select a folder to have all its images content inserted (included the content of nested folders). This works also when dropping a folder to the FitPlot area.
  • A dialog will be presented to warn you when the content exceed a certain amount (currently 10 files or 1024Kb) and the operation can take a long time.
  • Insert options temporary exclusion. Insert options, if activated in the preferences panel, can be temporarily excluded if, when dropping an image, you hold down the command key.
  • Linked images tracking. From the 2.1 version was introduced the symbolic link to allow the connection to an image even if it was moved (not removed!). This works fine! The problem, as you may have experienced, arose when, for example, copying the FitPlot document and the linked images on an USB removable device, and opening it on another computer, you noticed all images loose their link.
  • Now a further improvement has been made. When you save a FitPlot document, even the "relative" path to the linked images is saved, so, if you transfer your work on another indipendent device, when reopened, images are searched relatively to the FitPlot document new position.
  • The only advice is now to mantain the relative path between the FitPlot document and its inserted images, for example keeping all the job in a folder.
  • As a further help, if any images still has not been found, an alert shows up presenting two choices: continue or browse. If you choose to browse, select a folder where the image should reside, all nested folders will be examined (unless the image is already been discovered).
  • Bug fixing:
  • Fixed problem affecting 2.6 version and template files that do not opened as "Untitled".
  • Fixed problem affecting packing multipage on more pages. In some peculiar circumstances an infinite loop could occur.
  • Fixed problem with "phantom" text tags that could have been seen in some circumstances.
  • Improved behavior with "broken link" images (see above).
  • Improved constrained resize. Now, correctly, resizing is made on displayed image size (considering crop, just in case).

New in FitPlot 2.6 (Sep 22, 2008)

  • New insert options allow to perform resizing, rotating, styling, packing operations on newly inserted images.
  • Revised packing algorithm. Now there are two ways, one suitable for single page printers and the other for sheet roll printers (plotters).
  • New transformations tool (takes place of the previous scale command). You can edit / transform a set of selected images changing their sizes / rotation / style in a single operation.
  • Preferences dialog revised (now it is organized by tabs and comprehends packing and insertion preferences).
  • New text styles added. Now you can add to images a text tag showing the relative file name, path, size (Kb) and date.
  • Zoom improved, now you can magnify up to x4. Boxed zoom + and - are available through keyboard (space+command or space+option+command) and click-drag a box around the interested area.
  • Furthermore you can live zoom using the mouse scroll ball (or scroll wheel) while holding the alt (option) key.
  • New FitPlot unlocking code system (see here for details).
  • Other improving in the interface: Zoom + is centered on the screen portions currently displayed. Numeric fields in the info panel now accept localized decimal point. Added contextual help buttons where considered appropriate.
  • Fixed some discovered minor bug.

New in FitPlot 2.5 (Jun 13, 2008)

  • Introduced pagination concept: a FitPlot document is no more limited to one page only.
  • Along with the possibility to have more than one page, the export as pdf behavior has been extended to all pages in the FitPlot document. This has obliged me to abandon the 10.3.9 support (technically speaking, the PDFKit framework is not supported prior the 10.4 system release). Older FitPlot versions, until the 2.2, shall continue to work, of course, on MacOSX 10.3.9 too. Now alignments, centering and packing refers always to the currently active page (if there are more than just the default one).
  • Imposition tools: this is a valuable tool (at least in my daily work). With imposition you can control the layout of a multipage PDF to obtain a disposition on your printer sheet to have a ready to stich booklet. See imposition paragraph.
  • Numerical clipping available from the info/edit panel. Now is possible to clip numerically, not only manually, all 4 sides, typing the value in the respective fields.
  • The site and help files have been completely revised. FitPlot has grown too much to reside in a single HTML page. Now you can find a more logic "by topic" subdivision.
  • Bug fixing: paste from other programs fixed and enhanced.
  • Editing much more responsive. When working in HiRes, each manual editing (moving, clipping, rotating, scaling) will be made in LoRes during the operation. Also the continuos updating of the thumbnail image that caused slowdowns, expecially with large PDF images has been fixed. Now thumbnail image is updated only when strictly needed.

New in FitPlot 2.2 (Mar 4, 2008)

  • New clipping function: now you can manually clip an image just clicking and dragging the side's handles.
  • Packing. Now the name of the application "fits" better its meaning. I have introduced a first raw attempt of packing algorithm. Clicking on the packing tool (or choosing the packing menu item), you can obtain a packing of the images placed in the sheet toward the top of the page, optionally giving the chance to the paper to autoresize.
  • Allow printing area expanding / shrinking:
  • Horizontally: if you check this item, available only if you have set page ranges (see the page ranges settings above), the algorithm will try to shrink or expand the page width between these ranges to the small enclosing area of the just packed images.
  • Vertically: as above but referred to the height of the page. This is, obviously, to obtain a minor paper consumption.
  • Allow 90 degrees rotation: if you check this, the algorithm knows that images can be rotated, so, if there is a convenience, some image may be rotated for a better packing result.
  • Gap: if you want your images packed leaving a space around their perimeter (to have space for trims etc.), then type some value in the gap field.

New in FitPlot 2.1 (Nov 17, 2007)

  • Pasteboard images saved.
  • Since the beginning, I decide to save, with the FitPlot document, only the link to the images and not the data. This was to avoid redundancy and very big documents (we are talking of plotters sizes sheet�). Continuing this way I have had to cope with the pasteboard images, the ones you paste from a previous cut / copy operation done outside of FitPlot, or the images you dragged from other applications (typically web browsers), that, in a way or another, have not a file path reference. Until now, simply they were not saved to disk and they lived until the document was closed, being impossible to found them again on the disk due to the nonexistent path.
  • The problem has been solved this way:
  • Each time a pasteboard image is pasted (or dropped from another app, like a browser, for example), the program acts according to what you decide in the preferences dialog.
  • Specifically you have three choices:
  • Ask each time how to behave
  • Save automatically in�
  • Never ask, never save
  • Ask each time how to behave: a dialog shows up a message telling if you want to save to disk the image just pasted / dropped. If you answer NO the image is imported, but it has not corresponding file on the disk. If you answer YES, a further dialog lets you save the image on the disk where you want and with the name you are invited to assign.
  • Save automatically in: pasting / dropping an image, in this case, do not shows any dialog, but the image is saved in the directory chosen in the preferences (the desktop by default), with the name assigned in the preferences, with a progressive number (00, 01, 02 ecc.), in .tif image format.
  • To change the default directory, just click on the Save automatically in� option, the push button Select path� aside should enable, click it and browse your disk entering into the directory where to save, then click on the open push button and you are done. Note, you can create a new directory, too.
  • Last step, after you have verified the path field has changed according to your choice, you can set a name to use for your future saved images. This name, for example the default pb_image_, will be followed by a progressive number (00, 01, 02 etc.) and the .tif extension, so you may have pb_image_00.tif, pb_image_01.tif, pb_image_02.tif and so on.
  • Never ask, never save: in this case, the program acts as in version 2.0 and previous. Images from pasteboard are imported, but their link (nonexistent) will force the program to load the broken link image when the document is saved and reopened.
  • Use of symbolic link.
  • Another problem with linked images was uprising when, after a document was saved, the linked images were moved to another place. Reopening that document, the broken link logo showed up in place of the no more found image. This has been solved with the automatic use of alias, so an image imported in a FitPlot document should be always trackable, even if moved some other place on the same disk.
  • New styles.
  • Styles list Styles has been deeply revised. Now you can choose to have trims, shadow, transparency (on pdf, tiffs with mask, png with transparency), dashes and strokes of various flavours on each image. According to this, the shadow and transparency options in the general preferences has been removed, since they have become individual images options. You can set a style on a selected set of images (all images are modified at once) from the tool -> object print style menu (or contextual menu), or on the superselected image with the info panel (style popup).
  • New tools.
  • Added the cut, copy, paste, duplicate, open, save, new, undo, redo tools.
  • And more:
  • added the tool insert (to insert an image browsing the disk, instead of the drag & drop way).
  • added the duplicate matrix tool: to reproduce one (or even more) images in rows x columns at user distance (x and y).
  • New preferences.
  • Preference panel According with the above news, the preference panel has been revised.
  • The page color joins the other color settings. This is useful because in PDF with white borders it can be difficult to see (with grid not visible and PDF not selected) the real image bounds on a white background. The shadow used in previous versions was to help this, but now shadow has become a real printable effect (optional) for any single object.
  • On a user suggestion, I have added a simple grid step configuration for the three units available. So you can decide to have a grid of 0.125 " or 2 cm or whatever you want. The grid step is saved as general preference (for new documents) and with the document data too (when the document is saved).
  • GUI enhancements.
  • Now the program use menu and tools validations. Menus and tools are enabled / disabled according with the what you can do in that moment. For example, if nothing is selected, various menus / tools as duplicate, duplicate matrix, rotate etc., are automatically disabled.
  • Bug fixing.
  • The first two points of this list should have classified as bug fixing and not as astounding new features� However, other bugs have been discovered and fixed.
  • To mention one: undoing after an object movement (with snap to grid on), caused the object to be repositioned slightly distant from where it was. Now it works correctly!

New in FitPlot 2.0 (Oct 20, 2007)

  • Revised the graphic interface with the introduction of a customizable toolbar in perfect Apple style. Here you can choose your preferred tools and settings. More tools will come in future versions and on user suggestions.
  • Added a free object transformation.
  • With this option enabled you can freely resize and rotate images around a choosen pivot.
  • Added custom page size input fields to avoid the tedious Page Setup dialog. At the moment it is not possible to save the new page size int the known page sizes list (visible in the Page Setup dialog). it is possible, however, to save it as FitPlot template.
  • Added width and height fields in the info panel to constrain either W or H to a given length. The scale, at this moment is always proportional (scale X = scale Y).
  • Box selection. Added the possibility to select objects clicking dragging a box with the mouse.
  • Added undo on the change link operation.
  • Fixed some minor bug.
