What's new in 1.34 - November 13, 2026

  • Select: Select > Color Range selects by sampled colors (click the image; Shift adds, Alt subtracts), a hue band, or the highlights, midtones or shadows, with a Fuzziness soft edge, Invert and a mask preview (issue 709)
  • Shapes: Shape Appearance is a window that stays open while you work; it follows the selected shape or fill layer and applies each change at once as one undo step, and its Show handles box puts the handles of a gradient fill or a gradient stroke on the canvas with any tool (issue 694); a new Solid Color, Gradient or Pattern fill layer spans the canvas when a shape layer is selected (issue 710)
  • Brushes: Left and Right turn a brush tip that has a direction (a sampled tip, the Square, or a flattened Round brush) by a degree, Shift by 15, and the pointer outline turns with it; Rotate Brush Left and Rotate Brush Right can take other keys in Preferences > Hotkeys (issue 708)
  • Layers panel: the filter's Text entry finds layers made with the Type tool and text layers from PSD files, fill layers list with adjustments under Fill or Adjustment, and Linked and Has Smart Filters join the properties (issue 671); in a narrow panel, Opacity and Fill drop their labels before the blend mode row wraps (issue 693)
  • Also: a tool group's letter selects the tool the group last used (issue 711); Help > About Patchy shows an Update button when its check finds a newer version; the PSD compatibility report quotes layer names and no longer lists 16-bit layers as uneditable (issue 712)

Linux

AppImage (one file, updates itself; keep it in a folder you can write to):

mkdir -p ~/Applications && cd ~/Applications
wget -O PatchyLinux.AppImage https://github.com/SethRobinson/Patchy/releases/download/v1.34/PatchyLinux.AppImage
chmod +x PatchyLinux.AppImage
./PatchyLinux.AppImage

If it cannot mount itself, install FUSE 3 (sudo apt install fuse3, sudo dnf install fuse3, sudo pacman -S fuse3) or run it with --appimage-extract-and-run. Menu entry and other distros: Linux install guide, AppImage.

Flatpak (updates with flatpak update; the same command installs the ARM64 build on 64-bit ARM, such as a Raspberry Pi 5):

flatpak install --user https://rtsoft.com/flatpak/com.rtsoft.patchy.flatpakref
