Inkpad 3.1.14

by Derek in Releases

Drawings created with real world units are now exported with metadata showing they have a resolution of 300 PPI/DPI. Drawings created in pixels or points are still exported with metadata for 72 PPI/DPI. This affects JPG and PNG images.

Nothing has changed about the pixel dimensions or quality of the images exported because Inkpad has always exported at 300 PPI, but now they will show as 300 PPI when opened in other apps such as Photoshop.

Inkpad 2.1

by Derek in Releases

Based on feedback from our users, I’ve added a refinement to the snapping and dynamic guides workflow.

Added

  • Single setting to enable or disable all snapping. Rather than having to turn off all snapping options to carry out a freehand operation and then turn them back on again, this single setting can be used instead.

Fixes:

  • SVG import improvements.

Inkpad 2.0

by Lindsay in Releases

  • Added user interface themes. Now you can change theme depending on the tone of your artwork:
    • Light monochrome.
    • Dark monochrome.
    • Classic Inkpad.

    The light and dark themes make minimal use of color so that tints in the user interface do not distract from or influence your artwork color choices.</li>

    • Reworked all UI glyphs to give the whole app more polish. Although many maintain their previous forms, the most noticeable changes are the new redo/undo buttons.
    • Russian language translation of the user manual contributed by Alexander Deplov of Pleeq Software.
    • Numerous enhancements, adjustments and minor fixes to the user interface.</ul>
