What's new?
  • Improved brushstrokes placement in Painting 7 effect to give a more painterly effect.
  • Added a new stylised effect called Emergence 2, based on calculating an approximation of the source image using shaded triangles. The result is different from Emergence and can look a bit like knife painting.
  • Solved a bug in the custom brush code used for Painting 7 and 8 effects. Any image can be used as a brushtroke template (must be dark pixels on a white background).

None of the "free" softwares from http://www.vieas.com seems to be downloadable ...
There is an error 403 on every link on downloads page and there is no contact page.
Anybody tried this one ?

rogerthedodger on 2013-01-03 23:44

The link worked fine for me with several of those listed here?????

Checker on 2013-01-04 00:44

@ spice_prods: Use the link "Download" given by me at the top of this entry. This will link you to a working download page (http://www.vieas.com/en/soft.html#Jcropper). At this page klick at the ZIP-button to download the ZIP file.

Cool program, but wish I could just do a free mouse crop (draw a rectangle of any size or shape) on this program to crop.

.. with just a few random characters like the asdf example in 'PngOptimizer.ini' .. the new update works great on Win98 (or the whole ini template)

This program is great for general PNG compression, but for web graphics that will see many downloads over time, I use RIOT (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1821)

webfork on 2013-05-31 23:08

Note about the 2.3 update: definitely takes full advantage of multi-processor systems. I tested it on Win7x64 with an i7 quad core and it got very close to 90% (few programs can do that). Definitely a big speed bonus over time there and good to see those kind of optimizations in freeware.
