DigiDaub 9 now available

Version 9 of DigiDaub is now available. If you would like it please email me and I will email it to you. My email address is available from the "About" menu in DigiDaub8. Please put a mention of DD9 in the subject of you email, otherwise it may be overlooked.

Here is some information about version 9:


Colour:ColourPick: Click the right mouse over a colour on the Canvas. The palette will change to the single colour under the mouse.

Text:Single: You can use the Right Mouse Button to place the text in a position down the Canvas determined by the click of the button. Please note that due to the vagaries of fonts, the position of the text is somewhat approximate.

Text:Vertical: You can use the Right Mouse Button to place the text in a  position across the Canvas determined by the click of the button. Please note that due to the vagaries of fonts, the position of the text is somewhat approximate.

Textures:Lïttle Daubs: Now randomly placed on the Canvas rather than in columns as before.

Effects:Random Fills: This new section gathers together all the 'Fills' which cover the canvas with ellements whose colours depend on the colour on the Canvas at the position occupied by the fill element.

Effects:Ragged Straight: Now includes the horizontal direction (Ragged Straight H) as well as the old Ragged Straight, now with the letter V appended.

Effects:Jumble: Randomly adds a thin black border to each element.

Effects:Frames: Improved Torn Edge frame reinstated.

Colour Effects: Adjust Hue: With this you can change the amount of red, green or blue in an image on the Canvas.

Colour Effects:Margins: Fills the appropriate margin of the Canvas with the first colour of the Palette. If you right click the mouse, the margin will start at the point where you clicked. Bear in mind that only the x position (across the Canvas) of the mouse click effects the Left and Right margins, whereas it is the y (up/down) position which effects the Top and Bottom margins. All Margins draws all four margins at once. This effect is intended to provide a plain area for adding text (perhaps after importing the DigiDaub image into another graphic program).

Colours: The amount of red, greenn or blue in the current palette can be adjusted.

New design elements:

Textures:Little Scribbles

Background:Deco Angles/Deco Circles/DecoFans/DecoSquares

Organic Shapes:Torn Pieces in three sizes

Effects:HighLight and Effects: LowLight

A selection of bugs have been corrected and other small improvements have been made.
