0.2.0

2026-10-22

Pixtorium is now in open beta.

Frames are drawn, not tiled: new wood frames (Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Mahogany, Ebony, Driftwood), and the stone, paper and nature frames keep their colors in patterns that never repeat.
Effects › Stylize › Triangulate, and File › Export as SVG.
Effects › Distort › Rain, and Pond ripples.
Effects › Artistic › Watercolor; the running-paint effects are one submenu.
Black hole and Splash remade; Deformations is now Reflections.
Enhance › Red eye removal.
Help › Release notes.
About says where Pixtorium comes from, and that you can paint with just about any effect.
Previews that change the picture's shape no longer show dark stripes beside them; a command that runs at once, such as Equalization, no longer brings back the preview of an operation left open in the panel.
