neoTextil v24.12

December 2024


What’s New

Display Mode

All plugins can be displayed in three modes to suit various workflows and screen setups.

  • Double Screen Mode: Plugins are displayed on separate monitors, allowing users to fully utilize dual-screen setups for better multitasking and a more spacious workspace.
  • Single Screen Mode: Plugins are displayed within the same monitor. This is ideal for users working with limited screen space who still want flexibility in arranging their tools.
  • Photoshop Window Mode: Plugins are displayed directly in the Photoshop window. This mode keeps everything within Photoshop’s main window for users who prefer an all-in-one layout.

What’s New

nT Rapport

  • Introducing the QuickRapport feature that will generate seamless repetition using AI technology.  Start by opening your desired document in Photoshop and launching the nT Rapport plugin. Navigate directly to the QuickRapport section within the plugin, where you can instantly generate three AI-powered repetition variations. For even sharper detail, use the "High Quality" feature to enhance your design. Once you've chosen your preferred variation, simply click "OK" to finalize your project for seamless printing.
