1094 Opcoders today released GraphicDesignerToolbox 1.1.3, a free update to their powerful Mac OS X graphics editor. Perfect for web designers that need to compose seamless tileable backgrounds, trim pixels, prepare thumbnails and add shadows, plus much more! Special focus for this release has been to write documentation and add a Twirl filter.

Efforts are still going on for implementing the same filters as in Apple Shake. This time a Twirl building block has been added. Work has begun on documenting each of the building block, as a start 20 blocks has been documented. An Apple Shake to GraphicDesignerToolbox transition guide has been written that describes compatibility between Shake nodes and GDT building blocks.

Changes:
* Documented 20 blocks and wrote Apple Shake to GDT guide (5 days of work)
* Added a "Twirl" block for whirlpool spiral effects
* Added a "Camouflage1.box1" project to the Texture sample pack
* Renamed the "Thumbnail" block to "Fit" so it matches with Apple Shake
* Changed default size for "Gradient" from 500x500 to 512x512
* Changed default size for "Fault" from 500x500 to 512x512
* Changed default size for "Crop" from 500x500 to 512x512
* Renamed the "Transform" blocks "Interpolate" parameter to "Anti Aliasing"
* Renamed the "Stripe" blocks "Mode" parameter to "Anti Aliasing"
* Renamed the "Chaos" blocks "Function Seed" parameter to "Seed"
