What's New
Fixed drawing issue on Retina displays.Photoshop PSD Import/Export. • Import layered PSD files with vector paths and effects. • Shape layers are imported as editable vector paths. • Layer effects are imported as fully editable drop shadows, glows, etc. • Export designs as layered PSD files.Document Color Management. • Per-document color profiles. • Assign and convert colors to a different profile (Modify > Color Settings…).New Blend Modes. • 8 new blend modes including Linear Burn, Linear Dodge, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix, Subtract, Divide. • Existing blend modes (such as Color Dodge) have been improved to ensure they match the appearance of imported PSD files.OpenGL-optimized Drawing. • Significantly faster rendering of complex projects. • Multi-threaded drawing ensures lag-free scrolling and zooming.Instant Image Masking. • Instantly mask effects and other fills by an image with transparency. • Toggle masking using the 'Set as transparency mask' setting in the Appearance pane.Per-Shape Blending. • Apply blend modes to individual shapes and groups. • Apply blend modes to strokes and fills in the Appearance Pane.Inner and Outer Strokes. • Set strokes to be positioned centered, inside, or outside of a path.Angle Gradients. • New 'Angle Gradient' setting in the Fill pane.Outline Mode. • Toggle outline drawing (Modify > Color Settings…).Hex Color Picker. • Hex value color picker in the color popup.Import PDF Annotations. • Import shape, highlight, and text annotations. • Improved support for embedded fonts.Scissor Tool. • Cut a path into multiple sections, at anchor points, or anywhere along its length. • Available from the Pen Tool's options, or activated directly using the 'c' keyboard shortcut.
