A simple and powerful photo editor for Mac. LiveQuartz is based on non-destructive layers and filters, with layers on the left and filters on the right of the window. Just drag an image into the window or layers' list to edit it as a new layer. It also supports Multi-Touch Gestures and Screencasts. Twitter: @livequartz.
v2.8 [Nov 16, 2020]
2.8.6 / 2.8.7:
Features:
* Using the magnifying glass while doing a multi-clic selection with lasso is now possible
* New Affine Tile filter
* New Inner Shadow parameter available on shadow filter. This could be a great effect on Text layers. (be careful when sharing LiveQuartz documents: a document having a shadow filter from 2.8.6 and beyond will not open on older LiveQuartz’s versions)
Bug fixes:
* Background grid display issues are now fixed.
* Fixing Command-Alt behaviour (move and cut)
* Filter tool is now disabled when a disabled layer is selected or if its filter is disabled.
* Layers having transform and filters generating images of infinite size (example: Tile filters) were not rendered correctly due to cache issues. This is a partial bug fix. The final image is not affected by these bugs.
* The filter tool (spirale) point position was not refreshed after changing the window zoom.
* With certain filters needing images as parameters, the composition image was not refreshed after dropping images to the parameter setting.
2.8.3 / 2.8.4 / 2.8.5
New Features:
New "LiveQuartz Store" with multiple subscription durations (only one on a macOS before 10.13.2). This gives more choice. Longer the subscription period is, cheaper it will be in the long run!
Note: "Unlimited" in-app purchase is still available.
Bug fixes and speed increase:
* Disabled optimisations on big layers (more than 100 millions pixels) having filters to avoid using too much memory
* Fixed a bad layer flattening when using background eraser or paint bucket on a layer having geometry filters
* Update to Swift 5
* Crash after closing and opening document window is fixed
* Small speed increase when using brush, eraser and duplication tool
* More speed when using background eraser and paint bucket (gain could be better on macOS 10.13 and 10.14)
* More speed when using filter tool (gain could be better on macOS 10.13 and 10.14)
* Background eraser bug fixed (wrong reference colour)
* Fixing CISpotLight filter
2.8
New Features:
* In Edit menu, the latest selection can be restored
* As it is similar, the brand new “Paint Bucket” is available by choosing the background eraser tool with ‘alt’ key pressed
* Drag and Drop of text layers is now possible (Previously, it would have converted the layer to a pixel image layer)
* Default corner input points for certain transform filters now default to the current position of the corners (example: “Perspective Correction” filter)
Bug fixes:
* Drag and drop of layers and filters between two LiveQuartz documents is back on Mojave
* Fixing an issue on certain configuration with painting tools on Mojave (pencil and duplication tool)
* Scrolling with input devices like the magic mouse is disabled while using tools to avoid wired behaviour
* Fixing an english localisation issue in filter picker
* Fixing a layer size issue with background eraser when using a selection
