AlphaForge 1.2.0

New: shadows and stickers

• Shadow step — a soft shadow under the cut-out, either on the ground (a contact shadow plus a soft ellipse, so the object sits on the surface) or a drop shadow (angle, distance, softness, colour). The canvas grows only as much as the shadow needs.
• Outline step — an even, round-cornered border around the cut-out, like a die-cut sticker. Thickness, smoothing (rounds inner corners and closes narrow gaps) and colour. The edge stays crisp at any setting.
• New Sticker preset — remove background, trim, white outline, soft drop shadow, PNG with alpha. Twelve presets in total.
• Background blur: new Focus range slider — choose how much of the scene around the subject stays sharp when the lens-like blur by distance is on.
• Warnings when Shadow or Outline are placed after a step that fills the background (they would have nothing to work on).

Under the hood

• Code audit of all 1.1–1.2 changes: the lens-like blur uses about 680 MB less memory on large photos, and picture backgrounds fill faster. Output is unchanged.

Everything runs locally; no new downloads are needed for shadows and stickers.

Installs over 1.0.x and 1.1.0; settings and downloaded models are kept. Not code-signed: SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway.
