October 28th, 2009· Full Document Preview
· The full document preview has been rewritten and is updating faster now.
· All functions and filters, that are also available as working layer, are now usually updating in real time. The delay of the full document preview of all other functions is dependent of the image size, the complexity of the calculations and the speed of the computer. On fast computers the preview is shown much faster than in earlier versions.
· Vector Editor
· The vector editor has been rewritten nearly completely. Creating and editing vector graphics is now much more comfortable.
· Histogram Correction
· The Histogram Correction dialog is now arranged clearlier.
· Delete/Copy/Move Picture
· Picture files can now be deleted, moved and copied directly from inside the main application. On previous versions you had to use "Show Image" or the Browse function to manage files.
· Guides
· There is now a new Guides dialog.
· Additionally you can now create guide lines, that are only used on even, odd or the active page.
· PSD Import And Export
· The PSD import can now read layer effects better.
· On export the layer intensity and the display mode will be saved, too.
· Scale Layer/Scale Document
· These functions now have a "Resolution" option. Using this option images and documents can be converted to a different printer resolution. Images will be resampled.
· Text Layers
· You can now insert soft returns in text layers with Shift+Return.
· Text
· The dialog for managing tabs was made new and is now simpler.
April 20th, 2009· The handling of the helper dialogs has been reworked. On Windows you can now dock helper dialogs to each other, that are not embedded in the main window, too.
· Furthermore the current layout can be saved and used later by using the main menu ("View/Dialog Layout") or the context menu of the title bar of a helper dialog.
· The Attributes dialog has been extended to a very important control center.
· It will show you all important information of the active document, the active page and the active layer. Usually these values can be edited directly. You can still work the „classic way“ by using the main menu, but using the Attribute dialog is much faster.
· The standard background of document windows is very bright and not best for editing dark images. Therefore the background color can now be changed optionally.
· All options needed for formatting text have been combined in the tool settings of the Text tool. The now useless dialog „Text Options“ has been removed.
· The Red Eye tool can correct the red eyes, that originate from taking a photo by using a flash light. In order to do this, you have to mark the red eyes by using the mouse first. On releasing the mouse button the correction will take place. The options in the Tool Settings can be used to enhance the result.
· With the tool Color Position you can lay down positions in the document. The color at these positions will then be displayed in the Picture Info dialog. This allows to control the effect of an image manipulation at glance.
· Color Correction can be used to correct the colors of an image. If Adjust Whitepoint is activated, bright colors and especially white are kept unmodified.
· Variable Blur is a specialized Version of the Gaussian Blur. While the Gaussian Blur applies the same filter radius to the whole image, the Variable Blur adjusts the radius based on the mask value (see chapter 2.4.1) at the current location. This can used to simulate depth of field.
· A mask value of 0 means a radius of 0. There is no filtering. A mask value of 255 means maximum filtering: the value entered in the dialog will be used. The calculation of the values in between depends on Bias. If the bias value is 0.50, the radius will be interpolated linearly
· The scaling functions and the functions for modifying the document and the layer size now have a new working mode: Formula. Formula allows to set the new size as a formula allowing more flexibility. Especially on recording actions this is a major enhancement.
· Curves now optionally allows to work in Lab or HIS color space.
· Additionally the transparency (alpha channel) can now be edited, too.
· SVG is going to be a standard format for vector graphics. Aside from vector graphics it can contain images and text.
· PhotoLine is now able to import SVG files.
