Flare - Photo Editor 26.10 for Windows is out. It is a small release with one fix, for the AI tools. Copies from this site offer it through Help › Check for Updates…, and the Windows page has the new installer and ZIPs.
AI tools that no longer close the app
- On some graphics cards, Remove Background, Select › Subject and Filter › Depth Map could close the app while the AI model was starting on the graphics card.
- The canvas and the AI tools now take turns on the graphics card instead of using it at the same moment, which is what tripped the graphics driver.
- If the AI tools ever stop on a graphics card anyway, Flare remembers it: from the next launch it runs them on the processor on that card, by itself and with the same results, only a little slower.
- After a graphics driver update, Flare tries the graphics card again on its own.
Updating
- Copies of 26.9 installed from this site update by themselves through Help › Check for Updates….
- If you installed 26.6, 26.7 or 26.8 with the installer from this site, update by hand once: download the new installer from the Windows page, double-click it and choose Update.
