Many new features and improvements in version 4.0, including: * Photos.app extension to add frames and borders to your photos right from Photos. * BATCH PROCESSING: You can quickly process multiple images using the same template and output settings. ImageFramer can now apply a template to individual files as well as whole folders of images with a few clicks. You have total control over the format, sizing and details of the files being saved. You can easily preview the results before making any changes. * macOS Share extension: you can share images to ImageFramer for editing * You can now SAVE DESIGN TEMPLATES as separate documents that can be shared or backed up. * We added IMPORTING and EXPORTING of FRAMES from the frame editor. You can now export frames, sets or even entire collections of the frames. (Exporting of frames requires Pro features, as it is part of the Frame Editor) * We’ve added an Adobe Lightroom plugin to post-process exported photos using ImageFramer, making is easier to integrate your projects with Adobe Lightroom. * We’ve added a new Design option to save framed images with their EXTERNAL SHADOW intact. * We’ve included the ability to save to the .PSD (Photoshop) file format. * Now, the images used in image overlays are embedded within in their design templates--No need to keep the original image. * Molding frame layers now adds a new attribute in frame editor called "Mirror images". This allows for easier creation of repeatable frame patterns by “mirroring” the image of the frame on each subsequent repetition, forcing the edges to align. Mirror images can also keep the graphics file size smaller, saving space and memory. * Snapping of text and image overlays will adjust to the edge or the center of the frame with ease. * We’ve added “Scale" control to full-frame frame types. This allows some full-frame frames, like those with small opening in the middle, to work better * The ImageFramer Library panel adds a "Recent" tab, which lists frames that were either recently used by design, or edited in Frame Editor, or imported. A real time-saver. * The ImageFramer “Recent” and “Favorite” tabs in the Library panel now contain a "Show in Library" pop-up menu item to quickly navigate to the frame in the "All" tab. Another time-saver! * The ImageFramer “Library” panel can now filter frames in the current list by their name. * The ImageFramer “View” menu saves preferred presentation settings (background colors and zoom). These setting will be used for all new windows and can be quickly restored to. * We’ve added “Page Size” and “Copies” to the Print dialog * We’ve improved Template editing. Now removing, adding and renaming of Templates in the Templates panel can now be easily undone via the Edit menu (or Command-Z). * Mouse Scroll-wheel (or two-finger up/down swipe) resizing of frame layers will now work for the currently selected layer in the strip,(instead of the layer under the cursor) making scrolling work more predictably. * Various improvements to the color adjustment of text * Use the macOS Terminal app to easily process images and apply templates (if that’s your kind of thing ;). * Lots of UI and bug fixes. We love to receive your feedback! Please leave us a review or contact us at support@apparentsoft.com

* New "Lock Aspect Ratio" control on the bottom will keep the aspect ratio of the final framed image to the one set in the control to its right. The aspect ratio can be locked to the original aspect ratio of the framed image, the current aspect ratio or to one of the standard presets. * A cropped image can now be dragged with a mouse to expose different parts of the cropped image * Maximum crop factor increased from 40% to 95% from each side * Watermark layers were renamed to Overlay. This better describes what they are. Now there are Text Overlays and Image Overlays. * Updated user manual with the new features Read a blog post and watch video of new features at http://blog.apparentsoft.com/imageframer/1276/aspect-ratio-locking-in-imageframer-3-4/

Lots of goodies in this update. Make sure to read the release notes: * Allow setting “Real-world” size for the image being framed. With this: - ImageFramer displays total real-world size of the framed result - Generate Design Report (Pro version only). A Design Report produces a PDF with sizes for frame layers in real-world sizes (based on real width set in Design Settings). Find it in Design Settings panel and in the File menu. * ImageFramer now accepts images dragged from Photos, Safari and other applications * Support loading grayscale and non-8-bit-per-channel input images * Allow zooming with zoom gesture on the trackpad (10.10+) * Click on mat and molding-type layers to select them * Click on the image itself to select the image layer * Resize mats and molding-type frames using the Scroll Wheel over the frame or the up/down scroll gesture on the trackpad) * Change frame overlap with Command Key + Scroll Wheel over the molding-type frame * Change mat bevel size with Command Key + Scroll Wheel over the mat * Share button added to the bottom bar to share using standard OS X share providers (Facebook, Twitter, Messages) * Fixed "Show shadows" check box in Design Settings * Fix calculation of sizes for cropped images * Add Printing support Visit our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/imageframer to learn how to best use ImageFramer, see what other do with it, and to share your results. We would appreciate if you could rate ImageFramer on the Mac App Store. It makes a big difference to small software companies like Apparent Software.
