Added

  • Snap alignment guides — when drawing or moving annotations, edges and centers snap to the selection midlines and existing annotation edges/centers. Cyan dashed guide lines appear at snap points. Toggleable in Preferences (on by default).
  • Auto-redact in blur/pixelate tools — auto-redact PII and "redact all text" buttons are now in the blur/pixelate options row (removed from right toolbar). Redactions use the active tool's style (blur or pixelate) instead of always using filled rectangles.
  • Redact all text — new button in blur/pixelate options row that detects and redacts all text in the selection, not just PII patterns.
  • Dotted rectangle corner dots — dotted-style rectangles now always have a dot at every corner with evenly-spaced dots per side, instead of the previous uneven pattern.
  • Custom cursors — pencil tool shows a pen cursor; select/move tool shows a 4-arrow move cursor only when hovering over movable annotations (arrow cursor elsewhere). Both cursors have white fill with dark outline for visibility on any background.
  • Shift-constrain on resize — holding Shift while resizing existing annotations constrains lines/arrows/measure to 45° angles and rectangles/ellipses to squares/circles.

Improved

  • Pencil hover-to-move removed — the pencil tool no longer shows edit controls when hovering near existing annotations, preventing accidental moves when drawing close to existing strokes.
  • Redact type dropdown toggle — clicking the types dropdown when already open now properly closes it.
  • Font picker — hover highlights items in the dropdown; selecting a font no longer commits/deselects the active text field.
  • Editor right toolbar position — no longer overlaps the top bar.
  • Bold/italic on system font — now works correctly with SF Pro via font descriptor traits.
  • Number circle sizing — all stroke width steps produce visibly different sizes.
  • Number text contrast — black text on light fill colors for readability.
  • Crop preview — shows dimmed overlay, white border, and rule-of-thirds grid while dragging.
  • Loupe and color sampler in beautify mode — previews now render on top of the beautify gradient.
  • Snap guides in beautify mode — guide lines render on top of the beautify preview.
