software

tintii version 2.2.0 has just been released, bringing its smart colour pops to the Mac for the first time! The Photoshop plugin, developed for both PowerPC and Intel platforms on MacOSX 10.4 and later, can be downloaded here, along with the usual free standalone version to try the effect.

Linux and Windows users will also find a few treats in the new release, with a new channel mixer pane included for control over the mixing of colour channels down to greyscale, and multicore processor support for a sizeable speed boost. In an effort to make the software more accessible, the Windows installer has been expanded into several languages, with preparations made for potential translation of the main software in future also.

Feedback on the new version is most welcome, particularly from users of the new Mac version — please post a comment to let us know how you’ve gone.

I’ve posted the final version of my PhD thesis, "Bayesian Learning of Continuous-Time Dynamical Systems, with Applications in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging" to the research page. Now assessed, corrected and passed!

Note that this may serve as a useful manual for some of the detail behind the algorithms of the dysii Dynamic Systems Library.

Version 2.1.0 of the tintii photo filter has just been released, extending compatibility of its plug-in version beyond Adobe® Photoshop® to Corel® Paint Shop Pro®. This should make the tool accessible to a much wider audience who wish to work within the space of these powerful graphics tools rather than through the standalone tintii interface, still available for free.

The new release additionally fixes a possible crash bug in the Photoshop plug-in when using the filter with scripting commands. Consequently, it is a recommended upgrade for those using a previous version of the Photoshop plug-in — simply uninstall your existing version and install this new version. 2.1.0 does not contain any updates to the free version on either Windows or Linux.

Documentation will be updated in time to include more information on the new Paint Shop Pro plug-in. Until then, please direct any queries to support@indii.org.

tintii documentation is now available online. This is the same documentation as available in the download itself, although may be more accessible to people in this form.
