(iPad / iPhone / Android) Animation tools added to Simple Mode

• You can now create simple animations in Simple Mode. Select Create animation from the menu to start.

Improved blurring for drawing tools

• Blending quality has been added to Ink in the Sub Tool Detail palette for brush tools. Setting this to High quality results in smoother blending than before when the Color mixing mode is Running color.

• The area where colors are mixed is now uniform and not affected by the painting direction when using the Blur sub tool of the Blend tool.

• (iPad / iPhone / Android) In Simple Mode, Blur in the Brush tool > Blend group now blends more smoothly.

Reduced lag when drawing with high stabilization

• (Windows / macOS / iPhone / Android) Show stroke preview to reduce brush lag has been added to Preferences > Tool. This shows a line preview when drawing with a high Stabilization setting to reduce the feeling of lag.

• (iPad / Android) Show predicted stroke in Preferences > Tool has been renamed to Show stroke preview to reduce brush lag. A smooth predicted stroke will be displayed even when drawing with a finger.
