Looks like Oscar released another updated (version 1.4 now). According to the DAP blog, this might be the last one for a little while due to his school studies. Just wanted to share the info. Main effort for this release has to do with color accuracy, and I can vouch (just finish downloading it and installing it) that it's worth it.

Wow...surely a quite impressive tool.
I'm gonna try it, thanks for the hint.

lkroll · #33 05-13-2009, 12:44 AM

Another heads up; Oscar just released 1.5; just downloaded it but did not install it yet. Has something called a defocus mask that looks like it will give more control to how the emphasis of the brushes should concentrate to.

LK:

1. To upgrade one only needs to download/install the current "trial" edition, no need to uninstall previous version first, true?

2. Do you know of a reposititory/common area where one can find user-created .aop files? I downloaded yours and one Oscar posted, but would like to try others.

TIA...

Right now, they have not added this to the MMB forum. Raist create a few pretty cool ones when DAP was still Arcimbolder and the AOPs still work quite well in DAP; particular like his splatter (Emo) set. Also, Román Cortés (originator of Arcimbolder and big collaborative for DAP) emailed me a few additional ones as well, but they are rather big. He said that I could share them with others, so I'm linking below (happen to really like his Paper Picasso; Giger you might save for Halloween; lol.

Just did this one using the Giger preset. Just wanted to share how cool it can be (still needs some fanagling of course).

Thank you so much for the heads-up on the update and for the files created by Raist and Román Cortés - love the Picasso paper and the Emo. Appreciated.

yvonne · #38 06-08-2009, 05:27 PM

Could you please tell me how to install the AOP's

Put the .aop files in your equivalent of:

C:\Program Files\DAPainter\objectpacks

lkroll · #40 06-08-2009, 07:31 PM

Sorry; not doing my job to maintain the thread. Version 1.8 is out for the curious. I went ahead and started an AOP thread too, but not too many takers. At least Oscar anchored it so that it gets a little more visibility.

yvonne · #41 06-08-2009, 07:50 PM

Thank you, Danny

Lyle,

Thanks so much for sharing, fantastic program.
It had actually blown a gaping hole in my self esteem as what it does in with automatic setting is so much better then anything I can come up on my own

As far as auto painting in Painter goes, I do not believe it was ever designed to give a finished painting, it is more of an underpainting, something to establish color scheme and spacial arrangement, nothing more then that.

Pavel

GerryB · #43 06-09-2009, 11:30 AM

Nice program, Lyle. Too bad there isn't a Mac version. I'd certainly try it if there was.

pavel123 · #44 06-10-2009, 05:14 AM

So, how does one actually go about removing texture...
There is "canvas" section, but I believe it mostly refers to the image size....
(that's version 1.8)
Thank you.
Pavel

lkroll · #45 06-10-2009, 12:50 PM

Uncheck the Canvas option gives you white background. Oscar still doesn't see the need for transparent background for whatever reason, so I stopped chiding him about it (and work around that issue; not a good solution, but so far it has worked well enough).

pavel123 · #46 06-10-2009, 06:08 PM

Lyle, thanks a lot.

Pavel

Just noticed that i DAP takes 800 Mb of memory and 100% processor resources...got to upgrade

lkroll · #48 06-12-2009, 08:57 PM

lol; I've not really noticed an issue with my PC since I upgraded it from 1.6GHz single processor and 1GByte to 2.4GHz Dual Core AMD 2GBytes.

I ended up having to go to my pc , with Vista , the laptop with xp would not get the files.

lkroll · #52 08-12-2009, 07:13 PM

Looks like Oscar is pre-releasing version 2 of DAP; even hinted that he is already thinking about version 3. Just follow the thread below for pertinent links. I will add, though, that, like beta software, I don't install non-fully released software, so I have not yet downloaded the pre-release. Hope that Oscar fully releases it soon.

Just to advise any who might not be aware, but Oscar has issue 2.04. According to him, this will likely be the final version.

You can read his comments and see the download link in this thrad at MMBForunms:

lkroll · #54 09-14-2009, 01:15 PM

Well it looks like Oscar did his final tweaks and released it as stable version 2.0.5. Just wanted to keep you all updated.

lkroll · #55 09-26-2009, 07:52 PM

Not long ago, Oscar released 2.05, and now 2.06 is released. I highly recommend this one (even if you already just downloaded 2.05). 2.06 allows for custome canvas which is very beneficial to me despite only allowing greyscale. Also you have a save on pause feature which has been one of the chief requests of folk at the DAP support forum. Get it; get it now. lol

Morty · #56 09-27-2009, 01:36 PM

Many thanks for the heads-up,

appreciated.

Diane · #57 10-08-2009, 01:45 PM

newer version 2.07 available

lkroll · #58 10-08-2009, 05:27 PM

Thanks Diane; will check to see what Oscar added to it.

lkroll · #59 04-19-2010, 07:24 PM

DAP has just been updated to 2.5. It will support additional plugins (for sale of course) as well as it now has a History feature just incase you overdo a good thing (if you know what I mean). Cool stuff.

lkroll · #60 10-22-2010, 10:56 AM

DAP forum is back. I believe there is more then a few besides myself that also have DAP. Oscar still has a lot of work to do though. Looks like all is lost of the previous board unfortunately (maybe Oscar can import that in too). I actually had to re-establish my account as well. Just wanted to share the info.
