Shadows 2.0

New Shadow Intensity Feature

We've added a new Intensity setting within the Shadow settings. Now you can adjust the shadow intensity of any Stamp, Text, or Path.

Proper Shadow Scaling

Previously, the object shadow blur and offsets didn't change when changing the object size. So if you scaled an object up, the shadow didn't have the same appearance, and if you scaled an object down, the shadow could disappear entirely. With this change, all shadows scale correctly along with the objects (Stamps, Text, Paths).

New Fill Options

Mask Tool - [Clear/Fill All]: Instantly fills or clears the whole Mask Layer.
Brush Tool - [Fill BG/FG]: Instantly fills the active layer (BG/FG) with the active texture.

New Shortcuts Bar

We're introducing a new Shortcuts bar that dynamically shows you only the most important shortcuts you need at the moment, depending on the active tool and features you're using.

As before, the key bindings can also be found in the Shortcuts panel [K] in the bottom right part of the editor.

Live Stream Banner

Do you find value in our streams? We'll now display a notification in the editor whenever there's a stream running. Make sure to also subscribe to our Twitch and YouTube channels.

Other Improvements & Bug Fixes

Finally, with the community's help, we've pushed a bunch of fixes that resolve little bugs, as well as some small improvements. Thank you for reporting them to our support team!
