Color Replacer



A color replacer tool has been added to the Effects Library (click the button on he toolbar).

Thanks Nancy for the suggestion!

The effect replaces the foreground color with the background color as set using the color picker. It has a tolerance control and an inverse capability too.

Try it out on an uploaded photo for some interesting results

FIG 'Pro' Subscription Site?

Is anybody interested in a Font Image Generator 'Pro' site for a small subscription fee? The site would have advanced features like a larger canvas size, ability to save and recall images, workspace setup, upload your own fonts, direct linking, on-the-fly dynamic image generation, no Google ads, etc.

FIG is currently doing about as much as it can under the free system. If there is enough interest, a subscription site can be developed.

Please post a comment with your thoughts on the idea. Please include features you'd like to see.

Thanks
Jeff

Linking to Font Image Generator

You can link directly to a font, dingbat, or category in FIG by specifying target information in the URL querystring. The target information is obtained by clicking the button at the lower left corner of the application. When linking this way, FIG will load into the browser with the FontFinder or DingMapper open to the font, dingbat, or category that you specify. You can easily email a targeted link if you want to share something you see on FIG.

Here are a few examples with the link URL shown:

Click here to see unique fonts with the following link URL: http://interactimage.com?focus=119

This link displays all the New fonts:
http://interactimage.com?focus=new

This link displays all the New dingbats:
http://interactimage.com?dfocus=new

This link
displays all the dingbats in the artifacts (103) category
http://interactimage.com?dfocus=103

The examples above link to specific categories in the FontFinder or DingMapper.

You can also link to an individual font or dingbat as follows:

Click here to go to the font Nutshell Library. The link URL is:
http://interactimage.com/?search=NutshellLibrary

This one goes to the dingbat Panda
http://interactimage.com?dsearch=panda

In summary,go to the font, dingbat, or category you want to link to, click the
button, cut and paste the name or category number from the setup information displayed and add it to the URL as shown above.
