Limner v0.7.9: Selections, cropping, and free-transform

This update fills in the everyday Illustration essentials: full selection shortcuts, ways to grow, shrink, and soften a selection, a Sharpen filter, an interactive Crop tool, and Distort / Perspective / Skew transforms. Your existing projects open exactly as before, and the Vector, Animation, and Book workspaces are untouched.

New

  • Selection shortcuts. Ctrl+A selects the whole canvas, Ctrl+D deselects, and Ctrl+Shift+I inverts the selection. All three now live in the Select menu with their shortcut shown.
  • Modify a selection. Grow, shrink, outline, or soften a live selection from Select ▸ Expand, Contract, Border, and Feather, each with a pixel amount.
  • Sharpen filter. A Sharpen adjustment with a live preview and Amount / Radius controls (Filter ▸ Sharpen). Filter ▸ Repeat Last Filter (Ctrl+F) re-applies your last adjustment with the same settings.
  • Crop tool. Drag a crop box with edge and corner handles, then Enter to apply or Esc to reset, with an on-canvas Apply / Cancel button (tool strip ▸ Crop, or press C). Image ▸ Crop to Selection trims the canvas to the current selection.
  • Distort, Perspective, and Skew. New free-transform modes on the Transform options bar, alongside Free: drag the four corners to distort, pull opposite corners for perspective, or slide an edge to skew.
  • Eight more blend modes. Subtract, Divide, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix, Darker Color, and Lighter Color join the layer blend list.

Improved

  • Folder opacity label. A folder's opacity slider now reads "Folder Opacity" so it is no longer mistaken for the active layer's own opacity when the layer sits inside that folder.

Fixed

  • Transforming a selection no longer leaves a faint line along the box edge after you confirm or cancel.
  • Beginning a two-finger pinch or zoom no longer stamps a stray dot from the first finger.

Notes

  • The Vector, Animation, and Book workspaces are unchanged, and existing files open exactly as before.
  • The new blend modes save and reload with your project; older files that do not use them are unaffected, and a project saved with a new mode opens on an older build with that layer set to Normal.
  • Windows, signed installer. Update from the in-app prompt or under the Help menu.
