PSD export with groups
PSD export: Writes a resource for clip layers
GIF import: possible buffer overflow for defective files fixed
Bug fixes:
Colors in toolbar: "Spot color" could be activated
Nik-Filter as a dynamic filter, Windows: Since the dialogs of the Nik-Filter are not modal under Windows, one could provoke problems
Background layer, moveable: Handles are displayed, after special scaling "moveable" status is no longer turned off
Layer list, add/remove transparency to mask: Works only with transparent images
Crop tool: Changes with keyboard are displayed
Vector layers: Curve-line-curve sequences were not deleted correctly
Average filter, very large images: Calculation improved
Edge antialiasing, sheared images: The left/right edge of sheared images is now antialiased better
HTML image overview: Code updated
Dynamic Filters: If a placeholder had several Dynamic Filter layers, the intensity and mixing mode of a Dynamic Filter layer had no influence on the following Dynamic Filter layers
Dynamic Filters, painting: The following dynamic filters on the same hierarchy are hidden during painting
Distort image with image, Twirl, Ripple: The alpha channel has not been edited
Circle tool: After a restart, a "circle segment" was always displayed with 360°.
Text layers, pixel alignment: For pixel aligned text layers, text layers are now preferably output via the operating system
Layer attributes, overprint: For vector layers the outline setting wasn't visible.
Layer attributes, reset and size, layers with layer masks: The origin that may has been clipped, was kept at its original position
Layer effects, 3D shadows: Position was displayed incorrectly if it was larger than 100 pixels
Match colors: Had wrong name
Brush editor, non-modal: If the brush size was changed in the document window, it did not show the correct size
Vector tool: Deleting a point could also delete the successor
Cut vector points: if more than 2 sub-paths were used, the cut-out may not have worked correctly
Edit vector pattern: Pattern size is now better maintained
Create vector outline: Accuracy depending on the layer size in the PCS
Radial blur: Problems with dialog preview and alpha images fixed
Radial blur: Support for 32-bit images
Pixel alignment, vector: fixed distortion with only one aligned point

Slideshow: the last 4 transition modes are reversed in themselves
Color to transparency: For 16-bit and 32-bit images, the mask was not evaluated correctly.
Linear ICC profiles, JPEG import, sRGB: JPEGs whose sRGB profiles were set via EXIF data could not be switched to linear sRGB
All these improvements are great. Photoline is an amazing graphics app. Only a few more functions will make a true professional program.
But can you tell me when you will add an "Inset path/outset path" vector function to Photoline? This is an industry-standard function in vector apps like Illustrator & Inkscape.
Also, is there a way to display several pages together, like on a pasteboard or layout table? That would be very useful.
