Solstice Release

With this release we are introducing several new templates!

  • Borderless Vector: Our most advanced template yet, a gorgeous borderless full art template with variable size textbox that supports multiple card types, using vector cutouts for all shapes.
  • Lord of the Rings: Created by Tupinambá (Pedro Neves), based on the showcase introduced in the upcoming Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth.
  • Classic Remastered: Based on the legendary iDerp template, a more modern framed template with classic-looking textures. Works for both Normal and Transform cards.
  • Etched: Based on the etched template introduced in Commander Legends, with supporting assets from Warpdandy and Kyle of Card Conjurer.

We've also added new settings and features, including a collector information mode and support for Photoshop's new Generative Fill feature! Extended and Fullart templates can now have their edges filled using Generative Fill instead of Content-Aware Fill, with amazing results. This only works if you have Photoshop Beta and can be enabled in global settings.

This release also adds powerful new functionality for creators to develop custom templates including:

  • Automatic blending of colored frame textures based
  • Automatic solid color and gradient overlays for pinlines and other elements
  • More functions for working with vector shapes, masks, and effects
  • New extendable templates: NormalVector, DynamicVector, and NormalEssentials
  • Built in templates and helper functions are now broken into their own modules, by category

Pretty much every Proxyshop template has also received small updates and improvements over the course of this release, and of course there have been a flurry of bug fixes! This release has been a massive effort, probably the largest yet. Thanks to all who've provided supporting assets and helped test the app on our discord. I'm going to go take a much needed day of rest, you guys enjoy!
