Black Ink 0.356.2642

Dear Black Ink users,

If you think your Black Ink’s user interface is too small with your new high resolution screen you should enjoy this update!
Indeed, from now your user interface is resizable!

We invite you to watch our two latest videos to learn tips and more.
The first one shows the latest features added and the second one new default brushes.

If you need to know more about this update you can have a look at our change log and if you want to know what we are working on you can have a look at this link.

Meanwhile, we wish you a very good summer!

See you soon

Changes in motion ( also covering previous updates ):





List of changes :

New Native High DPI Screen display support.
Black Ink now automatically scale the user interface according to the OS settings.
The user can modify this scaling by clicking the the BI Logo on the top left of each window. The customised scaling will be saved by each individual Black Ink’s window
The Ctrl+Wheel and the Ctrl+Q shortcut are introduced to set the scaling



Fixed Some crash when saving a BKD
Fixed Some crash when Changing a Shortcut after moving the focus to another panel of control.
Fixed Some crash/Freeze when loading a lot of textures when opening the Brush Manager
Fixed Sometimes Black Ink suffers a severe hang/freeze when opening the Brush Manager
Fixed The Elastic Gizmo ( visible with some smoothness is set ) was not displayed
Fixed some layout problem when the Preference Keyboard Tab when stacked
Fixed Can’t DragDrop color from the Brush Preview color selector into preference
Fixed The command “Copy Merged” wrongly took invisible layers into the operation

Some shortcuts have been moved from the Global context to the Canvas View Context ( Flip Vertical, Flip Horizontal and DrawsInCanvasView )
Better Eraser effect when using smudge brushes



You can now use the keyword “key” and “hold” in the Preference shortcut search bar.
When using the “Zoom in and out” command ( Hold Q shortcut ) the zoom is made from the cursor position instead of the centre of the View. Moreover when moving the cursor outside of the window the movement doesn’t stop.
Darker background for the BrushPreview editor to avoid confusion with the normal or secondary viewport
You can use Wheel to zoom on top of the rendering indicator.

Black Ink 0.345.2599

Dear Black Ink users,

We’re very glad to announce a new update for Black Ink!

You can now define your shortcuts for everything

We have added the possibility of using brushes with several textures, which will give you more freedom in creating material effects. We also improved the eraser.

One of the biggest time consuming work we did is an optimization for very resource expensive brushes, without impacting the user experience.
Thus, even if the GPU is busy computing an expensive stroke, it’s still possible to draw with no latency.

We fixed a problem that made Black Ink not appear on the Desktop since Windows 10 Creator Update.

Feel free to let us know about your experience and your suggestions!

See you soon!
