AutoTrace Studio
AutoTrace is revolutionised in an innovative studio with built-in How To guides and plenty of smart power so you can turn photos into stunning vector art and retouch your sketches and logos. Simple adjustments make for high quality and striking artwork at any size - from any source image.
Image Cutout Studio
Give photo subjects total focus by quickly and neatly removing backgrounds with this advanced yet easy-to-use imaging tool. Simple brush strokes work like magic erasers to painlessly paint away unwanted areas. You can also use the cut-out area as line, shape and silhouette art in your drawings and designs.
Spray Brushes
Create awesome paintings and enhance your artwork with fantastic new Spray Brushes. Add rich designer textured backdrops, use canned paint effects with realistic droplets, paint lifelike fur or even high quality clouds and fog. Also add a touch of sparkle with glitter, confetti, flower petals and more.
Natural Media Brushes
Get crafty with photo-quality stitches, making it appear as if your designs are sewn or laced right into the page. Now also paint even greater masterpieces with new bristle, chalk, paint roller and watercolor brushes - all available in a revamped and reorganised brush tab.
Edge Effects
Add flair and realism to your designs with authentic and creative edge effects. Give shapes a rough finish as if they've been torn from paper, made from natural fabric, have a glow, or uneven liquid stain effect. Choose from inside or outside edge effects, using a new range of dedicated brushes.
Artistic Overlays
New special guidelines are available as overlays to help you create better designs! The golden spiral overlay helps with lifelike artwork including natural forms and human figures using the "divine proportion". A new rule of thirds overlay improves drawing and painting composition, positioning horizons and subjects to please the eye.
Special Knife Blades
Fashion amazing, stylised hand-cut edges with a swish of your mouse or pen. 23 new decorative knife blades make it easy to cut saw-tooth, square-cut, wavy and many more effects on your designs - and combine with new crop shapes and edge effects for unique artwork.
New Special Effects
New filter and special effects offer realistic glass-like transparency and reflective metal. Any object can have a professional blur, and another new filter effect applies an outline to objects (including a gradient-colored outline using a contour fill). 3D effects are further enhanced with multiple separately-colored lights for dramatic lighting effects!
Cutout Stamps
Speedily crop any artwork with this set of special QuickShapes for a cutout stamp effect. Spray brushes, vector shapes, imported pictures, or grouped objects - anything can be cropped to an editable QuickShape and adjusted using new zoom, pan and rotate controls.
