Hi! Welcome to the latest version of the Pixel Editor. It's been quite a while! Most of the changes happened behind
|
Heyo! New pixel editor update, with some very requested changes. After the code refactoring, adding features
|
||||||
the scenes: we worked very hard to refactor the code, make it a bit more modern and scalable so that contributions will,
|
is way easier: I introduced some more selection tools, the ellipse tool and an info bar in the top menu :)
|
||||||
hopefully, be easier to make.</br></br>
|
|
||||||
We have some good news for users as well!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Pixel Grid</h2>
|
<h2>Lasso tool</h2>
|
||||||
|
Finally! With the lasso tool you're not forced to select rectangular areas anymore. Have fun selecting, cutting,
|
||||||
|
copying and pasting any kind of selection with pixel-perfect precision.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I've worked a bit on the pixel grid to make it look a bit better and less intrusive when zooming in. You can see the
|
</br><img src="lassoselect-tutorial.gif"/>
|
||||||
difference in behaviour between the new grid (left) and the old grid (right) in the image below.
|
|
||||||
<img src="grid.png"/>
|
|
||||||
In addition, the pixel grid will now automatically be hidden when the zoom level becomes too low: in that way looking at big
|
|
||||||
sprites becomes a lot less performance-heavy and it doesn't cause lag.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Quality of life</h2>
|
<h2>Magic wand</h2>
|
||||||
|
In addition to the lasso tool, we added a new selection tool: the magic wand. You can use it to select
|
||||||
|
contiguous areas of the same colour! If you need to exactly select the pixels of a certain colour, you're
|
||||||
|
probably going to find the magic wand useful.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I've added some quality of life improvements, sometimes subtle (maybe you won't notice but you'd have definitely noticed
|
</br><img src="magicwand-tutorial.gif"/>
|
||||||
the absence of them), sometimes a bit more noticeable. For example:
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Ellipse tool</h2>
|
||||||
|
I added a cute friend for the rectangle tool: with the ellipse tool you'll be able to draw circles and
|
||||||
|
ellipses of all sizes. The tool works similarly to the rectangle tool: select it to draw empty ellipses,
|
||||||
|
click on the ellipse button again to draw filled ellipses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Tool tutorials</h2>
|
||||||
|
I know what you're thinking, "wow those gifs are so cute, that guy must have put a lot of love in them".
|
||||||
|
Well, I'm glad you like them, and I have good news for you: there are more! Move the cursor on a tool
|
||||||
|
button: after a little a small tutorial explaining how to use the tool will appear. Hope it's useful for
|
||||||
|
everyone who's new to the editor!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</br><img src="tool-tutorials.gif"/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Top bar info</h2>
|
||||||
|
Depending on the tool you're using, you'll notice that the top right part of the editor will slightly change.
|
||||||
|
When using a resizable tool (eraser, brush, rectangle, ellipse, line), it's now possible to select a precise
|
||||||
|
size by typing it in the input field that appears when you select it. More features that make use of the
|
||||||
|
top bar are planned.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2>Bug fixes and minor details</h2>
|
||||||
<ul>
|
<ul>
|
||||||
<li>It's now possible to delete a layer by selecting it and hitting "DEL"</li>
|
<li>Squares in the splash page are now...well...actual squares</li>
|
||||||
<li>When adding a colour to the palette, it is automatically selected</li>
|
<li>Using the mouse when a dialogue popup is open will no longer edit the canvas</li>
|
||||||
<li>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/NSSure">NSSure</a>, you can now select a name for your exported / saved project</li>
|
<li>For coders: the selection system has been uniformed</li>
|
||||||
<li>The brush preview should now be less intrusive while still being visible</li>
|
<li>Tool buttons have been shrinked to make room for more</li>
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2> Important bug fixes</h2>
|
|
||||||
A lot of nasty bugs have been fixed! Please, if you know more we aren't aware of, <a href="https://github.com/lospec/pixel-editor">
|
|
||||||
feel free to open an issue or make a pull request.</a>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|

<li>Fixed the bug that caused file corruptions</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>Fixed fill tool not working and creating hundreds of similar colours in certain browsers</li>
