The “display options” setting that allows you to select the maximum size of an image has now been added to presets in Studio, allowing you to easily set a default size for all future submissions. To customize your presets, simply click the “Presets” option in your Studio. You can also create custom preset templates if you often submit different types of content with different preset needs, since something that works for your portrait photos may not be as applicable for your adoptables or emoticons!

The thumbnail grid view in Sta.sh (and across Studio) has been updated! Now, when you hover over a thumbnail, you'll see quick-action icons for "View" and "Copy Link," as well as the previously included checkbox for multi-selection and “...” menu for ordering, scheduling, deleting, and more. You can also edit titles directly inline by clicking on them, which was a common feature request available in the old version of Sta.sh. These changes streamline your workflow and provide quicker access to essential actions.

DeviantArt’s current beta testing program launched in September of 2023, replacing the old beta testing program that had been in place for two decades. The username symbol tied to the previous beta testing program is officially being retired, and deviants who still have the symbol will receive a commemorative profile badge in its place. Thank you to all previous and current beta testers for helping make DeviantArt a better place! If you want to join the beta testing program, add the journal to your favourites so you can be involved in future tests.

Peter Remani - piano player

Peter Remani (use variant spelling of "Peter"?) was one of the top concert pianists in Europe. He was also a composer of some repute and a sought-after instructor. He had managed to make himself fairly wealthy (or "comfortably well-off"?) by the time he was 30 years old and was considered to be quite a 'catch' by the ladies. Peter's career only faltered once, briefly, before the lady of his heart caught him and steadied him. He had developed a problem with gambling, encouraged by the people who sought out his company. They invited him to their social gatherings and insisted he join their little visits to the local casinos. Between their backslapping encouragement, aided by too much alcohol, Peter developed a habit for gambling. His skill with music, however, did not translate over into skill at the tables, but neither he nor his 'friends' took notice. After all, Peter was rich, wasn't he? Luckily, Peter had better luck in picking a bride and the lovely Leonora, third
