## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.61 — 2026-07-29

Images opened from Photos now correctly include crops, rotations and reflections made in the Photos app.
Camera preview stabilization has been added for a steadier image.

### 4.60 — 2026-06-13

You can now load images from Files, including iCloud Drive and Downloads, as well as from your photo library.

### 4.51 — 2026-03-31

A (really!) minor bug fix from version 4.50 where image toggling did not restart if resuming from a saved session

### 4.50 — 2026-03-21

Pro users can now resume from where they left off following an app restart. This is of particular use in Overlay Mode where the camera and image are locked together. In previous versions, switching to a different app might reset Artist Eye and you would lose the camera/image link. Now, you get the option of either resuming or starting afresh.
Also worked on general performance improvements, and making the camera image closer to reality by avoiding the inbuilt “beautification” of some camera sensors.

### 4.37 — 2026-01-11

Corrected behavior on latest iPhone for image stabilization and the Overlay Mode rotate and scale slider controls.
