[user1994g]

Development retrospective—not a new release announcement. This post looks back at a historical beta; platform capabilities refer to that milestone.

Published 2026-10-21. Recorded milestone: 19 September 2026 · 1.4 Beta 4.

Mac photo, grading, scene and game workflows expanded, with recovery-aware in-place updating and explicit limits for other editions.

NetVista Studio 1.4 Beta 4 was published on 19 September 2026. Its largest additions were in the native Mac application: layered photo editing expanded with blank documents, painting and erasing, brush controls, supported ABR brush import, selections, masks and adjustments. Editable photo projects remained distinct from finished image exports.
