Releases: IT-BAER/photobaer

v0.3.0

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 20:23

Added

  • photobaer-mcp, an MCP server on npm: Claude Code, Codex and other agents open images from disk,
    run filters and menu commands, look at a preview and save the result in a photobaer tab.
    Setup in Help > Use with AI Agents. The editing stays in the browser tab.
  • WebMCP tools for in-browser agents: document info, menu commands, filters with parameters, preview.
  • App-styled tooltips replace the browser's title tooltips.

Fixed

  • The tool flyout highlights the hovered tool and closes when a menu bar menu opens.

v0.2.2

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 18:24

Added

  • Donate dialog with PayPal and Buy Me a Coffee.
  • security.txt with a security contact.

Changed

  • AI training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) are no longer allowed in robots.txt.
    Search and answer crawlers stay allowed. robots.txt also states this as a Content-Signal.

v0.2.1

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 17:52

Added

  • Impressum, privacy policy and terms of use (German and English), and a license page with the
    source code link and the notices of all bundled third-party libraries and fonts.
  • Links to these pages on the start screen, in Help > About and on every website page.

v0.2.0

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 17:18

Added

  • Retouching tools: Spot Healing Brush, Healing Brush, Patch, Content-Aware Move, Red Eye, Clone
    Stamp and Pattern Stamp, with a Clone Source panel (five sources, offset, scale, rotation, overlay).
  • Dodge, Burn, Sponge, Blur, Sharpen, Smudge, History Brush and Art History Brush.
  • Website pages for search engines and AI assistants: /photoshop-alternative/, /psd-editor-online/
    and /features/, with a page description, preview image and structured data on every page.
  • robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt.

Changed

  • The options bar fits in one row: brush size and hardness in a popover, compact number fields
    that change by dragging their label, icon toggles for airbrush, pressure and similar options.
  • Paint tools show the brush outline or crosshair instead of the system pointer over the canvas.
  • Small windows: the tool list, menus, panels and status bar stay inside the window; under 640 px
    the panels move below the canvas.

Fixed

  • The browser tab shows the full page title while no image is open.
  • Opening a website page no longer replaces the app that the browser keeps for offline use.
  • Layer Style dialog: no horizontal scrollbar (the contour presets fit), effect names with action
    buttons stay on one line, and the list and settings keep a right margin.
  • Scrollbars are thin and without arrow buttons.
  • A submenu that would run past the bottom of the window opens higher, so all its items are visible.

v0.1.3

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 14:15

Fixed

  • Escape cancels a Move drag and puts the layer or selected pixels back.
  • A Move drag shows the parts of a layer that lie outside the canvas while they are dragged back in.
  • Releasing a Move on a very large layer no longer takes seconds and no longer gets slower with
    each move: the engine reserves memory in large steps instead of growing it per image tile.
  • Right-clicking a tool slot while another tool flyout is open opens that slot's flyout instead of
    the browser menu.

v0.1.2

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 12:03

Fixed

  • Installed apps now pick up new releases completely: each build installs a fresh service worker
    and cache, so the manifest, icons and fonts no longer stay at the version first installed.
  • Installed apps on desktop Chrome get the new app icon (icon files have new names).

v0.1.1

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 01 Oct 11:34

Added

  • Start screen footer with a What's new link, the app version and a GitHub link.

Changed

  • Move tool follows the pointer live and starts without a delay on large layers.
  • Whole-pixel moves and layer bounds are much faster in the engine.
  • Marching ants move 1 px every 80 ms for a smoother animation.
  • The viewer shows a new image only when every visible tile has it, so no partial frames.
  • App icons: light logo on a transparent background; the maskable icon uses the dark app background.
