It's still in progress, but the majority of features are working and stable, so we're calling TopWisdom support 'official'. You can quickly shape a line by simply grabbing and dragging it, and insert new points by holding the Ctrl key and clicking a line (Command on MacOS). Node editing now allows selection of multiple nodes for moving or deleting. Similar to the Newsprint dither mode in LightBurn, it reduces the effects of dot overlap, and is more forgiving at high DPI settings than regular dithering.Īs shown here, you can adjust the number of shading cells and the angle. Halftone is a process used by the print industry to produce shading with dots of varying sizes. The new capture engine takes advantage of GPU hardware to display the preview, so the new system uses less CPU as well, so it's easier on older or lower powered systems, like laptops, Mini-PC's, or with really high resolution cameras.

The capture engine now gives us the ability to choose capture resolution, adjust exposure and brightness, and means that any USB camera should give you full resolution in LightBurn.

The camera capture engine has been completely replaced with a from-scratch system that talks directly to Windows. You can import new graphics from disk or from a loaded project, and quickly drag content from the library into your project. The right side is the view of the current library, showing the contents. Each library is a file on disk and they can be copied, shared, loaded and unloaded. The left side is the list of libraries, and you can create as many as you like, organizing content by type, occasion, etc. Store things you use frequently or seasonally, and have instant access to them when setting up new projects.

The Art Library is a place to store and organize commonly used vectors and images, giving you instant access, with thumbnails. This is a large release, so we'll cover the big stuff first.
