Yaaaay! I haven't even tried this version yet, but just wanted to say think you for all the hard work on it. This is the update I've been waiting for since I bought Black Ink several years ago. I'm an awful artist, but I enjoy messing around with things like this from time to time.

Black Ink is the only art program I have ever used that made me feel like I could actually make something I was happy with. I really love working with lots of layers and having layers affect each other —MyPaint is an interesting one for that— and I have been so looking forward to trying all these new features out in Black Ink!

Thanks again for making a truly unique and novel program!

Thanks for updating Black Ink. I love the paint effects I've created using Black Ink and look forward to trying out it's new features.

If I would like to download an old version is that possible?

I know im going to sound like a dinosaur here but I really dislike this new update, and how it kills my workflow. I have zero interest in learning the program again, and this is honestly my last attempt before just pirating photoshop.

sn4pz : no
But what can't you achieve with the new version ?
If you only want to add layer just keep the Layer Stack as it is and add remove layer with icons on the top part of the operator

I've installed the update but receiving an error when I attempt to run the program. The error box states the application is unable to start correctly with 0xc0000142.

I uninstalled the new update, reloaded the 2020 version without issues. I made another attempt by putting the new version in a different folder but it still overwrite the former version and the error message occurred again.

I have Windows Pro 64 bit system. 6 gigs ram, i5 CPU 1 Terrabyte HD. BI 2020 opens without any issues.

Just wondering why the new update isn't working.

Thanks
