Примечания к выпуску
13 апр. 2022 г. - Версия 2.4.1
Pixelmator Pro 2.4 Odesa brings a completely redesigned Layers sidebar, color adjustments and effects layers, over 200 beautiful new vector shapes, support for M1 Ultra, and more.
Redesigned Layers Sidebar
• The Layers sidebar has been redesigned to make it much easier to work with layers.
• Informative layer subtitles now show useful info about layers, depending on their type: sizes for image layers, text formatting for text layers, path info for shape layers, and more.
• The design of the blending controls has been updated and they'll now appear at the top of the Layers sidebar by default.
• Layers sidebar viewing options can now be customized, so you can change the size of thumbnails, the visibility of layer subtitles, and the position of the blending controls.
• You can now quickly add an empty layer using the new Add Empty Layer button.
• Layer masks will now appear as separate layers in the Layers sidebar.
• Layer masks can now be unlinked from their parent layer – double-click the line connecting a layer mask to its layer to link or unlink it.
Color Adjustments and Effects Layers
• Color adjustments and effects layers let you apply color adjustments or effects to all the layers below them in a composition.
• These new layer types work just like other layers — they can be masked, hidden, rearranged, and more.
• You can now easily apply selective edits by using colors adjustments and effects layers with masks.
• Use the Shift-Command-A keyboard shortcut to add a colors adjustments layer and Shift-Command-F to add an effects layer.
Over 200 New Shapes
• Over 200 new artist-designed shapes have been added to Pixelmator Pro.
• Several new shape collections have been added and others have been rearranged, so there are now 10 collections: Basic, Activities, Food, Objects, Arches, Science, Animals, Plants, Organic, and Symbols.
• All shapes are pixel-perfect – this means their vector points perfectly align with pixel boundaries, ensuring any icons you create won't have any unwanted blurring.
M1 Ultra
• Thanks to support for the M1 Ultra chip, Pixelmator Pro flies when performing machine learning-based tasks on the latest Mac Studio devices.
• Tasks like automatic background removal, super-resolution, and photo enhancement are up to 1.7 times faster on M1 Ultra compared to M1 Max.
Scrubby Zoom
• The Scrubby Zoom mode makes it easier to zoom images when using a graphics tablet or mouse.
• When using the Zoom tool, you can simply drag your image horizontally – like scrubbing video controls – to zoom in and out.
• When using other tools, first press the Space key, then the Option key to temporarily activate the Zoom tool.
• If you'd like to, you can change the scrubby zoom scroll direction from horizontal to vertical using the following Terminal command: defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x enableVerticalScrubbyZoom -bool true
Other Improvements
• You can now create masks by Command-dragging layers onto other layers.
• You can also copy and paste masks between different Pixelmator Pro documents.
• Use the new Shift-Command-T keyboard shortcut to insert text layers and Option-Shift-Command-T to insert circular text layers.
• Preserve Transparency, Replace Image, and Choose Mask options are now available in the Layers sidebar shortcut menu.
