New:
- PDF import: support of "None"
- Optimize Contrast: now with "according to the selected area".
- Transform Vector Points tool (same place in toolbar as "Edit Vector Points"
- Various bug fixes and minor improvements
Transform Vector Points tool!!! Awesome, been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks!
The only thing missing now is the ability to select multiple handles and in combination with the anchor points, because it is at times very difficult to maintain symmetry without this option. Handles should (in my opinion) behave just like anchor points when selecting them. Or perhaps an extra mode button to allow the user to activate this.
For example: to create an egg shape, first a circle is drawn. Then the top anchor point is dragged upwards while holding down shift.
The next step is impossible in PhotoLine: in Illustrator and Blender I multiple-select the top handles of the right and left anchor point. Then I move these up while holding down shift. Or use the cursor keys to reposition them. (Blender actually creates a perfect egg shape when only the top point is moved up, but I hope you get the point
)
This is currently not possible in PhotoLine. The solution lies in using a horizontal guide, and snap each handle individually to it, but this is rather a fragmented non-intuitive way of working.
Ideally handles would offer the same user experience as anchor points.
And I noticed that when working with a selection of points using the Edit Vector Points tool that when I drag a handle of one of the selected points, rotating or scaling resets the position of that handle to the former position when it was first group-selected. No biggie, but I would expect to be able to drag handles without them resetting like that.
PS beta 5 seems to load up much faster than the previous couple of betas here on my Windows machine.
