VECTOR PIXEL A pen whose line never dies. Place and pull nodes, curve a segment, drop a ready shape, then scale or rotate the whole path and watch it re-render clean at any size. There is no Apply button: the pixels are only the render, redrawn at every change, on a vector layer with a pose per frame. PIXEL ART ANGLES Turn it on and every node lands on a stair that rasterizes evenly: straight, 45 degrees, 2:1, 1:2, 3:1, 1:3. Both sides of the node obey, so no segment is left with a crooked step, and the stairs are built by hand, with no extra pixel at the end of a run. SYMMETRY ON THE PATH The symmetry axes now hold the vector too. Draw half a sprite and the other half is born with it, live. Switch the axis off and the mirror bakes into real paths where it stands, so you can keep working on the whole. OUTLINE THAT FOLLOWS Give a path a border and a color of its own, on its own palette. On a vector layer it is live: it grows around the whole shape and redraws whenever you pull a node, so it can never fall out of step with the art. ALSO IN THIS VERSION Smart Guides: dashed lines where your selection lines up with a neighbor, and a ruler with the gap in pixels on each side. Scrolling background: the Offset Assist got a play with 8 directions and a speed slider, so an endless background runs live on the canvas while you draw it. The preview grew up: resize it freely, zoom into the art under the pointer, frame what is selected, or open it as a window of its own and drag it to a second display. Save over Photoshop files: the app writes .psd now, one layer per layer, and a file you open keeps its name. Bucket tolerance, a scale handle on the shape cage, a layer menu that opens right next to the three lines you tapped, right click to open it, middle button to pan, press 0 to recenter the canvas, and new shortcuts for select all, deselect, hue and levels. Undo brings the sliders back with the pixels, and layer opacity and indexed palette edits are finally undoable. Dozens of fixes: the canvas no longer wanders off screen, the brush preview follows the pointer on the Mac, floating windows reach every corner, keyboard shortcuts stop going mute after using a panel, and the color picker no longer crashes at the edges. Maximum effort!
