Gambit's Image Viewer - Preview!
Added 2025-12-11 18:36:36 +0000 UTCHi all! Exciting update, I've been working on another new module. Not sure if it will release this month or next month, but happy to share an early preview.
I built an enhanced image viewer into the recently released Gambit's Asset Previewer module, but it only covers images opened in Asset Previewer. As I've thought of more ideas for the image viewer, and because I'd like to expand it to open on any image viewed in Foundry (not just from Asset Previewer), I've decided to spin it into its own module!
Some features you can expect:
Images can be shared with all players, or only a specific player(s). All of the features below apply to both the GM image and player shared images
Images can be panned and zoomed for more careful inspection
Images can be pinged by each user to visualize a specific spot on the map for all players to see
Images can be drawn on! Images drawn will be reflected to all players with the image open. This will have some additional controls for the GM to prevent players drawing when needed, but otherwise there will be functionality to change the color, transparency, and width of the paint brush along with some general controls for clearing per user drawings, clearing all drawings (gm), and erasing specific parts of a drawing
I'm also curious to hear from anyone who has ideas for additional functionality they'd like to see. I can't promise inclusion, but definitely happy to hear ideas!

Good to know! Some of that may be feasible, some definitely would not like token placement, Los, etc. V14 of foundry might be helpful for those pieces when it releases with the new popout window

2025-12-11 21:48:27 +0000 UTCOne of the things I miss coming from Fantasy Grounds is that every image in that system (whether it's a map or not) is treated the same, where in FVTT, "Scenes" are very much different from regular images and you can only ever view one at a time. Any/all features from FG's Image panel would be very cool to have here. Even if not implemented, just having a look might give you some more ideas. Basically if you are already making it possible to draw... all the 'photoshop lite' features would be nice... layers, toggling visibility, grouping in folders, text tools, FX, tokens, lighting, LOS, pings... basically Scenes that live in their own windows.

As a Master, I'd like the image to at least be linked to the journal so that when I narrate the adventure and want to show the image, I have the link to the specific image. It would also be fantastic if you could apply your own weather or particle effects to the images.
