FerrumPix 0.9.25

What's new

• The pen. Draw a curve point by point, pull it into shape at its handles, and change it at its points afterwards. Click on the curve to add a point, hold ALT to take one away or to break a smooth point, and hold SHIFT to collect several points and move them together.

• A path becomes a selection. One button, and the cut-out stays correctable: move a point and press again. Two open paths can also be joined into one, and text can follow a path.

• A path draws nothing on its own. It is geometry first, so a fresh path stays invisible until you give it a stroke or a fill.

• A group counts as one layer. Opacity, blend mode and a mask of its own apply to the whole group, an adjustment inside a group stays inside it, and groups can go inside groups.

Fixes

• Removing an object works on the layer you picked, including when you picked the object by clicking it, and it shows that it is working.

• A group holds together: picking one marks everything inside it, a group can be dragged into another group, and opacity and blend mode set on the group itself take effect.

• A mask for a group covers what is inside it, the layers in its subgroups included, and hiding a group hides them with it.

• Two grouped adjustments with the same settings keep each one's restriction to the layer below.

• A selection can be emptied with Delete wherever you clicked last.

• A batch shows that it is working while it writes, which matters when enlarging with a model.

• Key names are set in capitals in the help texts and the shortcut list, so a key stands out from the sentence around it.
