v1.2.0
Added
- Welcome screen — when no document is open, Sable shows a welcome/tips screen with recent files
and quick how-to tips. Toggle it in Preferences (and via "Show this welcome screen"). - Contextual task bar — a small action bar with the most relevant actions for what you're doing
(Gen Fill, Mask, Invert, Deselect). Toggle from the Window menu. - Radial quick-tools menu — press ` to pop a radial tool picker at the cursor.
- Navigator panel — a zoomable thumbnail of the whole document for fast panning.
- Keyboard Shortcuts window (Help ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts) — a printable reference of every tool and
canvas shortcut. - Pass-through groups — a group can now composite straight onto the layers below it, so adjustments
and filters placed inside the group affect everything underneath (toggle per group). - Gradient Map adjustment — remap tones through a gradient.
- Blend If — in Layer Effects, hide a layer where the layers below are darker or brighter (shadow
and highlight ranges, on the underlying composite). - Gradient tool shapes — Linear, Radial, Conical, Reflected and Diamond (was linear only).
- Brush dynamics and presets — stroke smoothing (stabilizer), dab spacing, and stylus
pressure → size / pressure → flow for tablets, plus saveable brush presets (size/hardness/flow/
spacing/pressure). - Place… (File menu) to add an image as a new layer, plus Revert, Close, Close All and
Close Others. - Edit menu: Paste in Place, Fill with Foreground and Fill with Background.
- Copy / Paste / Clear layer effects from the layer context menu.
- Math in numeric fields — type an expression like
100*2or50+10into size/amount boxes. - Animated splash screen at startup.
Changed
- Non-destructive crop — the Crop tool gains aspect-ratio presets and a Delete pixels toggle.
With it off, layers keep the content outside the crop, so you can enlarge the canvas later to
un-crop. - Selection ▸ Grow / Shrink / Smooth / Border / Feather now ask for an amount instead of being
fixed at 4 px. - Hold
\to compare — temporarily view the image with all adjustments and live filters hidden. - More zoom presets (50% / 200%) and quick panel-visibility toggles (Tools / Colour / Layers).
- Status bar shows memory use — app working set and GPU VRAM in use.
- History panel — drag to scrub through the edit history.
- Esc closes dialogs consistently across every dialog, and middle-clicking a document tab closes
it. - Ungroup now has a menu entry, and the layer list can be filtered by name.
