New Icons for a Modern Look

We’ve completely updated program icons and menu colors to a more contemporary look. But you’re not locked in. If you’re happy with the ways things are, we’ve included the option to return to our classic UI.

NEW Draw by Layer PLUS

This new setting allows users to apply general property changes to all tool presets. Once activated, when changes are made to the properties (Layer, Pen, and Brush) of a selected tool, those changes are applied to all tools.
