- Misc bug fixes
New in Instagiffer 1.64 (Mar 23, 2016)
- We’re trying to make the effects a little more useful. Be honest, who actually used “Oil Paint”? Effects are now on a separate dialog and as you make changes, you are given a live preview. Each filter also has tweakable parameters which we will be expanding in the future.
