Black Ink 0.345.2599

Dear Black Ink users,

We’re very glad to announce a new update for Black Ink!

You can now define your shortcuts for everything

We have added the possibility of using brushes with several textures, which will give you more freedom in creating material effects. We also improved the eraser.

One of the biggest time consuming work we did is an optimization for very resource expensive brushes, without impacting the user experience.
Thus, even if the GPU is busy computing an expensive stroke, it’s still possible to draw with no latency.

We fixed a problem that made Black Ink not appear on the Desktop since Windows 10 Creator Update.

Feel free to let us know about your experience and your suggestions!

See you soon!

Bleank Team
