Enhanced Selection Modes
Lots of news here! Paint to Select mode lets you literally "brush on" selectedness. Border, Threshold,
and Smooth commands for more versatility. Store and load selections between any open file.
Use combination buttons (as for shapes) to define cutout selection regions. Convert selections into paths or layers.

Combinatorial Shapes
Now create multiple shapes on a single layer! For each additional shape, you can add,
subtract, intersect, or exclude with previous shapes for frames, cutouts and custom contours.

|
Advanced Alignment!
Quickly align shapes or text between multiple linked layers. Smart Resize means more efficiency,
less loss. The Deform Mesh tool for reshaping any freeform region. New filters like Intelligent Blur,
Maximum, and Minimum... All filters rewritten for improvements across the board!

More Powerful Masking
Masks now work on shape and text layers, too! Plus they now move independently of their layers and store their
own colors. Extra convenience with mask preview thumbnails and key-assisted mode-switching, and much more.

Universal Gradient Fill Editing
One master dialog allows editing of five fill types, now combining both color and transparency.
Choose from a built-in gallery of presets, add your own categories and fills. Works with all
PhotoPlus tools and effects that employ gradient fills!

Freehand and Bézier Curve and Shape Drawing
Powerful vector-drawing tools let you produce any shape under the sun with
controllable, connectable, editable line segments.

More UI Improvements
New Layers tab buttons for most-used operations, plus preview thumbnails
for masks and depth maps. Zoom to a region. View a shaded exclusion zone when cropping.
A redesigned Export Optimizer. New Layout Guides, plus optional Snapping to grid or
guides for finer control when painting or erasing.

Paths
Use the full range of line- and shape-drawing tools to create editable outlines via the new Paths tab. Convert paths
to or from selections on any layer. "Stroke" paths using any brush to create bordered shapes!
