- ------------------
- Please check the dadaware web site
- www.dadaware.com for updates and new information. It is
- important for you to register in order to receive timely information
- about updates.
-
- --- Manual Updates ---
- 1. The manual section on use of the Clone tool is incorrect, refer to
- the online documentation instead.
-
- 2. The manual description on the use of the Color paint implies that
- intensity and saturation change will be linked to pressure. This is
- untrue, they are not pressure related. See the online documentation
- for more information.
-
- 3. The manual refers to Shear - Random, it should be Random Shear.
-
-
- --- Added Features ---
-
- 1. A second erase paint has been added in addition to the regular erase
- paint. While painting, if the user depresses the Delete key, erasing
- will occur instead of painting. The erasing is pressure sensitive and
- the type (geometry) of the eraser will be a square that is the same size
- as the currently selected tool, up to a size of 15 by 15 pixels.
-
- 2. The shadow paint has an added option, Edge Fade. This is not covered
- in the printed manual, but is addressed in the online documentation.
