New features in DrawPlus X3
Images
• AutoTrace (p. 179)
Convert bitmaps to vector art with AutoTrace studio. Adopt preset
profiles for optimum tracing of bitmapped logos, as well as colour
and black and white photos. Create your own custom profiles for
tracing files with similar characteristics. Use adjustment tools for
fine-tuning traced output (add/remove colours, merge areas, smooth
curves, or erase nodes).
• Quick-and-easy image cutouts (p. 173)
Image Cutout Studio makes light work of cutting out your placed
images, directly within DrawPlus. Use brushes to discard uniform
backgrounds (sky, walls, etc.) or keep subjects of interest (people,
objects, etc.). Two output types—Alpha-edged Bitmap or Vector-
cropped Bitmap—offer transparency blending or feathering
techniques at the cutout edge to seamlessly merge your image with
your page.
Ease of Use
• Opacity control in Colour tab (p. 162)
For improved productivity, any colour chosen in DrawPlus can now
have an associated Opacity applied at the same time. Great for setting
colour/opacity combinations on objects or nodes on fill paths!
• Improved toolbars
The Standard toolbar now sports large icons for better visual cues, and
hosts the now always-at-hand 3D Planes and Overlays options for
perspective drawing and design aids.
• Lasso selection (p. 55)
Difficulty selecting complex objects? For better control, use the Alt key
with your Pointer Tool and draw a lasso around objects. Even lasso
nodes while editing curves.
