Thank god it looks like they finally fixed the slider UI on iPad. Previously the slider for something like a a stroke size appeared radially which was awkward. Worse, it didn’t actually function radially. You could not drag the slider around the circle. Instead dragging to the right increased the value and dragging left decreased the value; also dragging up increased the value and dragging down decreased the value. Both axis operated at the same time so if you dragged right but also down slightly, some of the dragging would cancel itself out. The only way to get it to work properly was to drag diagonally between the bottom left of the screen to the top right. Now it appears the sliders just go up and down like every other UI on the planet.
It does not appear that they have added free form and mesh gradients or gradients along a path. I really really don’t like Adobe, but it’s all the little long tail features that makes it hard for me to switch away.
I wonder if they fixed the defect that repeatedly and incrementally blurs your images in Photo when you merge layers. I mean... how can you use a product that degrades your images continually as you work with your compositions?
Does Photo finally have a "transform selection" option, which lets you resize the selection marquee? Yes, it was released without a way to adjust the selection... and has stayed that way for years.
Does Photo finally have a crop tool that actually crops the image?
Does Designer finally have a function to trim the canvas to the objects on it?
Do the apps finally have a "do not print" option on layers?
It doesn't appear that Serif has fixed profound UI defects that have hobbled the suite from the beginning...
The gradient-fill dialog hasn't been revised at all; it is still baffling and dysfunctional, and lacks any way to control gradient angle: https://i.imgur.com/OUh5Ase.png And there's only one color well.
The eyedropper's functionality is still backward... or I should say eyedroppers', because they're all over the place. You can have three or four on the screen at once. Why?
You still can't set things to be the same size by selecting them all and then entering dimensions in the transform panel. It irritatingly resizes THE SELECTION BOX around the objects to the size you enter, mashing the objects to unintended sizes within it. WTF?
This is not looking good. Historically they've had a smug, shitty attitude toward defects and sure enough, they persist for years.
