🖼️ Overlay Studio Reliability and Imports

Read the updates, additions, and fixes in Wplace 1.6.3.

Improvements

  • PSD and OpenRaster Import: Upload Photoshop (.psd) and OpenRaster (.ora) projects directly from the Overlay Gallery, drag and drop or import them through the New menu into the gallery, or import their layers into an existing editor project.
  • Layered Project Support: Imported raster projects preserve layer names, order, position, visibility, and opacity. Groups are unpacked into editable layers, and projects remain layered after saving and reopening.
  • Import Compatibility: Projects using unsupported masks, effects, or blending modes fall back to their merged image with a notice after import. PSD import supports 8-bit RGB and grayscale files.
  • Overlay Export: Export overlays as transparent PNG images, white-background JPEG images, OpenRaster projects, or Photoshop projects. Project exports preserve editable layers when available.
  • Wplace Palette Conversion: Imported artwork is automatically converted to the Wplace palette using the editor's existing transparency rules. Layer opacity remains a visual tracing aid and does not alter saved pixel colors.
  • Compact Paint Toolbar: The progress and opacity controls now take up less space, leaving more of the canvas visible. Detailed pixel statistics remain available under More tools.
  • Customizable Paint HUD: Added separate Show progress panel and Show opacity control options under More tools. These preferences are remembered across reloads and overlay changes.

Fixes

  • Fixed extra empty space below the paint palette on mobile.
  • Improved the mobile screen lock placement and fixed cases where it could fail to unlock while painting.
  • The palette toggle now remains accessible when the mobile paint menu is collapsed.
  • Fixed headquarters overlays sometimes failing to load after switching overlays or changing preview settings.
  • Fixed missing gallery thumbnails and detail previews after image memory cleanup.
  • Fixed a progress refresh race that could show outdated pixels as incorrect.
  • Saved overlay projects now reliably preserve layers, order, names, visibility, opacity, and locks after reloads or cache cleanup.
  • Duplicating a template now also copies its editor layers, keeping the duplicate fully editable.
  • Fixed an issue where users with previous web-store purchases could not delete their accounts.
