Goonfella 219 Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Working with the new PDN this evening it struck me how often I use a particular new feature . So I was wondering , what might be the most popular one used here? We have had plenty threads commenting on the not so popular ones so I thought a bit of positivity was in order. I think Rick would find it interesting to see what is the favourite as well. So - mine is quite a simple one really. It`s the new icons in the top right hand corner enabling you to hide/unhide the windows at a single click. Quite a lot I find myself turning off all the windows to see how the image looks without anything getting in the way. I never used to do this in the old version because it meant going into a menu or trying to remember the keyboard shortcuts (which I never could), so this is a definite improvement which I would miss if it returned to the older system. Great idea and really useful. Now - who`s next? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cc4FuzzyHuggles 319 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 The ability to move layers by dragging them is probably my fave or most used new feature. I also love the copy merged feature and hardness adjustment feature for the eraser. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pratyush 92 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 1. The soft brushes with the hardness setting and blending options. I love them. 2. Also, The live 'tolerance' adjustment for the paint bucket and magic wand tool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riddley 21 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I absolutely love the new dynamic tolerance adjustment that makes it so you don't have to keep selecting over and over, it's soooo useful. I also like the new Shapes tool. I'm not too fond of the new way that shift+ellipse works though... Edited August 14, 2014 by Riddley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ego Eram Reputo 2,440 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Shift ellipse = circle. That's the same as 3.5x. What don't you like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goonfella 219 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Excuse me guys but I did start this thread for things you DO like , not what you don't. I would appreciate it if we kept to that. Many thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitenurse79 605 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Able to drag layers. The Plugin sliders with a notch showing it's default value. The icons in the top right - easy to hide windows. Dancin' ants. The new shapes tool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riddley 21 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 The new shift+ellipse only goes in 45 degree angles, the old 3.5x one had a 360 degree range of motion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pixey 4,007 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Let me count the ways: 1. Much faster than v5. 2. Child windows – easier to switch on/off. 3. Paintbrush & rubber eraser hardness scale . 4. Ability to move layers. 5. Live tolerance in Paint Bucket and Magic Wand Tools. 6. Finish option. 7. New Shape Tools. 8. Rotate - by grabbing a corner. 9. Reverse transparency in Gradient Tool. 10.Move Selected Pixels now not leaving behind a ‘ghost line’. All in all ……………… Edited August 14, 2014 by Pixey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goonfella 219 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I did mean which one particular feature was fave. Sorry,my fault for not making that clear. Still never mind eh? Edited August 14, 2014 by Goonfella Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixey 4,007 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Message to self: "Thou shalt not speed read". Yes, now I see you said 'One'. But that seems a shame, as there are so many more. Perhaps pointing them out is good for newbies (and oldies like me) who may not know or have noticed . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goonfella 219 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Looking back I think you might be right. Of course that means I will have to add some more faves as well now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goonfella 219 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Absolutely Pyro. Selections are so much better now. Also I like the moveable layers, all the extra shapes for the Shapes tool, and after getting used to it - the Finish option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoltBait 2,667 Report post Posted August 14, 2014 Antialiased selections by far Funny. I turned that new feature off. I prefer to control the edges myself by using a feather plugin. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toe_head2001 1,496 Report post Posted August 19, 2014 Being able to adjust Shapes without having to redraw them!Multilayer sampling for the Color Picker tool is also a good one. Especially when you have a million and one layers, and are too lazy to find the correct one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
