The brush cursor is thinner and uses an inverse color technique for better visualisation:
Transformation Editor update:
When transforming a layer the gizmo now surrounds only meaningful content and not necessarily the entire layer before
after
It’s now possible to undo/redo with the transformation tool active (useful to compare original state and current transformation without exiting the mode).
You can now configure (in options) the alpha and the visibility of the handles and the frame of the transformation gizmo.
You can define a snap angle in the transformation parameters.
It’s now possible to open .BKD directly from the windows explorer if you assign Black Ink to this file format.

Long time since the last update. Due mainly to lot of personal duty for the team members. Anyway this version mainly introduces more complex layer operations (which is the most requested features from the community).
Please note that this is the last release before a discount update which will occur in one week from this post. So if you are still undecided for Black Ink make your decision before the end of the next week, or it will cost you few more bucks ;)
Many thanks to all the users who already purchased Black Ink! The community grows every day and we are really amazed by your great feedback on our product.

Export Image - Export the layer as an image
Import Image - Import an image in the layer
New You can Drop an image file from the Window Explorer to open it. If it’s a .BKD it will open the document but if it’s another file format( .JPG, .PNG ) it will import it in the current selected layer.

New “General Shortcuts” section added in the Toolbar.

New "Main Menu > Edit > Disable Precise Stylus position" This option is useful If you still encounter stroke offsets after using Reset Stylus Calibration. This will read position from the mouse pointer and only take the pressure from the tablet’s pen.
Fixed Crash when press on the num pad ‘9’ ( more infos )
Fixed Precision issue when sketching. Now Black Ink is more accurate with the stroke input and should follow closely what you do with your tablet (if you have not Disabled Precise Stylus position see above). ( more infos )
The way the Speed is computed from stroking has changed. It’s now more accurate and reflect better the dynamic. Warning if you have created some of which use speed, their look could have changed.
The way are handled Mouse positions has been changed : a smoothing is applied which induce a little latency but a smoother stroke result and a better Pressure simulation.
The old Menu in front of the current brush name has been removed. ( he will be replaced by a new one in a future version ).
