First example of smooth reshading. The original image is on the left, the enlarged one (4 times bigger) is on the right. Click to view the finer details.

A few updates to the interface have been implemented. You can do a resize without being logged in only to the default sharpen value or no sharpening at all. If logged in, though, the sharpen factor will be reconsidered each time you resize images. This had been implemented only when cropping, now it works also for standard resolution fixed-fit resizing.

Tips to facilitate navigation have been added the main interface buttons.

Un-checking sharper option makes the reshading run faster than with sharpening enabled.

Until now reshade.com has been using browser cookies to store the state of the browsing session. So, when a user pushed the back button the state wouldn’t get back to it’s previous value causing some counter-intuitive situations. Now reshade will be storing all the browsing, except authorisation and related (who is logged in), on each page.

The new reshade will also feature a simpler url structure. Url-encoded strings like this: http://reshade.com/?viewuser=uname&collection=cname etc wil be replaced with: http://reshade.com/user/uname/collection/cname. The change will be backwards compatible, so both kinds of urls will work. Something interesting here is that something like: http://reshade.com/user/uname?collection=cname will work also.

The new system will be deployed tomorrow. Some other interface features will be included too.
