New in TransformPicture 1.2 (Feb 6, 2015)
- Maintenance for latest Mac OS.
- Help menu link to the website has been fixed.
New in TransformPicture 1.1.4 (Jan 22, 2014)
New in TransformPicture 1.1.3 (Aug 10, 2011)
- Added two new preferences in the "Geometry" pane of Preferences: "Flip Horizontal" and "Flip Verticle." These options reflect the image around the image-centered verticle and horizontal axes, respectively.
New in TransformPicture 1.1.2 (Jun 27, 2011)
- The Preferences window has been significantly improved for clarity and ease of use. Instead of using one single panel to contain all the various options for the program, they have been collected into named groups using a tab control. This helps you find and understand their function more easily. The new tab groups are: Geometry, Filters, and Output. None of the preference options or their effect has changed.
- The program now remembers the position of the main window between program sessions.
- A new, larger icon has been added to support sizes up to 512x512.
New in TransformPicture 1.1.1 (Nov 26, 2010)
- The reflection generator has a new parameter called "offset" and this corresponds to the "start" of the transparency gradient from the bottom of the image.
- Added a new filter named "Perspective" which distorts the image base width (W) and height (H) to give a front centered oblique appearance. This is achieved with two sliders labeled W, for "Perspective width" and H, for "Perspective height" which are generated as: Perspective width: Expand "base width" from range (-width*PerspectiveW/50.0) to (width + width * PerspectiveW/50.0)). Thus W = 0 for no expansion of base; Perspective height: Adjust "image height" by the scaling to (height * PerspectiveH/50.0). Thus H = 50 preserves height. Values < 50 shrink height, values > 50 expand height up to 2x its original value. (Using this filter and the reflection generator you can create images as shown.)
- The trimmer has a new associated parameter named "tolerance." This specifies the trim tolerance, from 0 to 100. It enables you to trim to pixels whose color distance from top left corner color is greater than the tolerance (as opposed to exactly not equaling the corner color perviously.)
New in TransformPicture 1.1 (Nov 22, 2010)
- The reflection generator can now be configured to control the rate of refection by scaling the transparency gradient. A new slider control accompanies the option to apply a reflection whose value ranges from 1 to 100, with 100 corresponding to the fastest rate, and hence the most subtle reflection (see accompanying image example.)
New in TransformPicture 1.0.9 (Nov 1, 2010)
- Added two new custom filtering options to the Preferences: "Trim" and "Reflect". The Trim option crops an image by removing surrounding transparent pixels, or pixels of the color of the lower left corner. The Reflect option applies an increasing transparency, from top to bottom, of a vertically flipped image. Note that like all transformations you can apply them to multiple images at once. (Note that reflection is best saved in a format that supports transparency, such as PNG or TIFF. )
New in TransformPicture 1.0.8 (Apr 10, 2010)
- Added an option in Preferences to convert a color image to monochrome.
New in TransformPicture 1.0.7 (Mar 31, 2010)
- An option to LZW compress TIFF format images has been added to Preferences.
- An option to prepend filenames with the current date and time has been added to Preferences.
- An option to add a custom icon to the file, based on the file's image, has been added to Preferences.
New in TransformPicture 1.0.5 (Sep 5, 2008)
- A new preferences option is available to set the creation, modification and access dates of the transformed pictures to those of the originals. This option is called "Preserve dates" and it is de-selected (off) by default.
New in TransformPicture 1.0.4 (Jun 6, 2008)
- Images can now additionally be scaled by specifying the pixel width or height of the resultant image
