What's new in 5.4.0.4871
New in 5.4: Squeeze and Rotate
• BARREL ROTATION (APPLE PENCIL PRO): Apple Pencil Pro now has a gyroscope which allows you to rotate the Pencil. As you turn your Apple Pencil Pro while drawing in Astropad Studio, the brush you’re using also turns. Note that barrel rotation needs to be activated for most brush sets.
• SQUEEZE GESTURE (APPLE PENCIL PRO): With the new Apple Pencil Pro, you can squeeze the sides of the Pencil together to activate shortcuts. This gesture can be customized in Studio’s Shortcuts panel.
• ADAPTIVE IMAGE RENDERING: With this update, LIQUID now renders images using Adaptive Image Rendering — an advanced algorithm that balances fast and high-quality video compression. You’ll notice 53% clearer image quality during high-motion content.
• CURATED SHORTCUT PRESETS: The Studio sidebar now has shortcut presets that are curated for an expanded list of apps.
• NOTE: Astropad Studio now requires MacOS 10.13+ 6 going forward
