v0.63.2

Round a corner by double-tapping it in the Shape tool. Smoothing a corner of an imported or traced shape now actually rounds it (it builds curve handles from the neighbouring points), then you can drag the handles to adjust - just like a hand-drawn line.

v0.63.1

Bend any line by dragging it in the Shape tool - this works on imported shapes too, not just hand-drawn lines. 'Color only' display is now disabled until something has a color, so freshly drawn shapes can no longer go invisible.

v0.63.0

Node-edit imported shapes too: the Shape tool now opens for every layer, including imported SVGs with several contours (a letter with a counter, a multi-part logo, a traced image). It edits one contour at a time - tap another contour to switch to it; editing one never moves the rest.

v0.62.1

Quick display-mode toggle right on the mat (top-right): switch between Outline only, Color + outline, and Color only with one tap. The active mode is highlighted and the preview updates instantly.

v0.62.0

New display mode 'Color only': the mat shows filled colors with no outline overlay, so the preview looks like the finished vinyl. The Display setting now has three modes: Outline only, Color + outline, and Color only. Also switched all in-app English text and code comments from British to US spelling (color, center, optimize, and so on).

v0.61.2

Image trace: smoother curves. The outline smoothing now does more rounding passes (a quadratic B-spline fit), so traced edges read as clean curves instead of faceted steps. It rounds toward the inside of the shape, so the cut never grows past the artwork, and genuine sharp corners stay crisp.

v0.61.1

Image trace now traces a cropped object at full resolution. When you crop to one object, that exact region is re-read from the original photo at native resolution before tracing (only the crop, so memory stays bounded), instead of tracing a shrunk copy. The pixel staircase drops below the smoothing, so the curves come out clean. Falls back to the preview trace if the region can't be read.

v0.61.0

Two features. Free rotation: the rotate button opens a menu (90 right, 90 left, 180, and Free rotate) like the flip button; in Free rotate mode the selection's corner handles turn the layer to any angle, real corners become round grips, and the 90/180 steps still apply in one tap. Image trace, smoother edges: traced contours are interpolated into swung curves instead of the raw pixel staircase so they plot cleanly, with real corners kept crisp and a 'Smooth curves' toggle (on by default); tracing also runs at higher resolution now, which helps most when you crop to a small part of a photo.

v0.60.1

Image trace, take two: crop and contrast. A draggable rectangle on the preview isolates one object before tracing, so you can lift a single shape out of a busy photo. Quantisation now runs in CIELAB (perceptual) with distance-based seeding, so a low colour count separates dark from light - at 2 colours the subject pops out instead of turning into grey mush, even when the background has several light tones. The crop region is quantised on its own to sharpen contrast further.

v0.60.0

Import PNG/JPG/BMP/WebP images and trace them to cuttable vector layers. Posterize mode quantises the picture to a handful of colours and turns each colour region into its own coloured layer (holes included), so it fits the per-layer colour workflow. A preview dialog sets the number of colours, drops the background, and tunes detail and speckle removal before adding. Share a photo to Knutcut or pick one via 'Import image'. High-contrast art (logos, clipart) traces best; photos come out rough.
