Performance tweaks dominate this release:
- Fixed: brush stroke lag: was sluggish, now zippy!
- Rendering optimisations: using less to get more performance!
- Focus pen toggle
- Merge down layer
Fixed: brush stroke lag
🖌️ An issue caused laggy brush strokes that would take seconds to render. Bug’s now eradicated, stroke engine is purring, hopefully artists are happy.
Rendering optimisations
⚡️ Some extra care was taken to eke out more performance gains, ensuring fast rendering and refresh while drawing.
Focus pen toggle
✍️ On touch devices like tablets and using peripherals like a pen, one can have a need to rest the palm on the screen. The focus pen toggle can ensure that only pen strokes will add marks ensuring that the palm (or even fingers) don’t sully the canvas. You can still pinch to zoom and two-finger pan to your heart’s content!
Merge down layer
🥪 Since artists are limited to 5 layers (restrictions are good!) sometimes you want to merge layers together so you can free up space for a new layer to add those extra details and fills. Use merge down in the layer context menu to do precisely what it says on the tin!
