Release Notes

4 new AI effects, effect fixes, instant language switching

• New AI effects: Color Pop, Spotlight, Duotone Background, Subject Glow — the subject stays as it is, the background changes
• Fit to Screen button right in the Frame Expansion (AI) window
• A clear “No Effect” message when there is no face, pet, horizon or subject

• Background Removal now really removes the background; Subject Blur keeps the whole subject sharp
• Smart Crop and Auto Framing no longer cut people or objects out of the frame
• Fixed effects: Subject Blur, Face Framing, Pet Framing, Smart Crop, Auto Framing, Auto-Straighten, Emboss, Edges, Pencil Sketch and 11 effects that changed the image size
• The interface language changes immediately, without restarting the app
• Preferences, About and other windows open once and always stay in front of the main window
• AI model download is only offered on Macs that can run it (Apple silicon, 16 GB RAM); accurate time estimate and a clear message instead of a crash when memory runs out
• Fixed a crash on the trial screen in Japanese

Czech and Slovak, clearer settings

• Czech and Slovak — Wallpyria is now available in 11 languages

• Clearer quality settings: the duplicated description under the selected quality level is gone
• AI effect progress and error messages are now translated into all languages
• Stability and reliability improvements

Frame Expansion model downloads and purchase restore fixed

• Frame Expansion AI models now download reliably: files are fetched in parts under flat names, and the app falls back to alternate manifest locations if one is unavailable
• Lifetime purchase is now a proper non-consumable product, so Restore Purchases works on a new Mac and nothing can be charged twice
• Purchase status is re-verified when the app becomes active

Frame Expansion (AI): extend photos beyond their frame

• Frame Expansion (AI): extends a photo beyond its original frame to fill ultrawide and multi-monitor setups: the app draws matching scenery on the missing sides while your original pixels stay untouched
• Large areas are drawn in several stages, so results stay coherent instead of repeating themselves; live preview shows each stage as it is drawn
• Runs entirely on your Mac, images are never uploaded. Optional one-time download of ~6.6 GB of AI models (Preferences → AI Models, SHA-256 verified, removable anytime)
• Requires Apple Silicon with 16 GB of memory; generation typically takes 10–40 minutes

• Wallpaper schedules crossing midnight now apply the correct entry
• Sunrise and sunset entries are no longer confused at equal sun elevation
• Dynamic wallpapers: time-of-day metadata is now embedded in the HEIC file, exactly like native macOS dynamic wallpapers
• Memory safety limits for very large images on wide multi-monitor setups

Multi-Monitor Panorama Fixes & Expanded AI

• 6 new on-device AI effects (8 total): Background Removal, Smart Crop, Face Framing, Pet Framing, Auto-Straighten, Line Art
