Library thumbnails were drawing your work out of place — shifted off the picture underneath, so a card looked like the same image twice. Fixed. • Library cards show what you drew, centred, instead of your drawing sliding off the reference behind it • Sharing a drawing on iPad no longer does nothing when you have more than one window open • Phantrace now reports crashes, so one gets fixed instead of going unnoticed. Reports carry no personal information and never include your drawings or the pictures you trace from Thanks for tracing with us. Send feedback any time from Settings.

Trace on paper. Hold a reference over your camera and draw it on the page in front of you. • Long-press a reference and choose Trace on paper, then pinch, drag and rotate to line it up with your page • Set how faint it sits, then lock it so a stray finger can't nudge it • Tap the camera feed to hide the controls while you draw References also became their own thing — copies you keep, not a state your drawing gets stuck in. • Saving a drawing as a reference makes a copy. The original stays yours, still in progress or finished • Reference cards show the reference. They were coming up blank • Redraw opens a canvas with the reference already on it, instead of an empty one • A reference is for tracing from, so it can't be drawn on by accident any more • Notes you write in feedback stay on your device Thanks for tracing with us. Send feedback any time from Settings.

A maintenance release, with one fix that matters more than the rest. • Fixed: work done in the last moment before you switched apps or locked the iPad could be lost. It's now written out before the app suspends • References can be renamed, taken off the References screen, or deleted — just long-press one • What's New lives in Settings now instead of interrupting you at launch • Release notes appear in your language Thanks for tracing with us.

Phantrace 2.1 redesigns the canvas — and rebuilds how zoom works. THE CANVAS • New tool sidebar: pen, pencil, marker, and brush always within reach • Layers drawer: add, reorder, and fine-tune opacity, blend, and visibility right on the canvas • Reference images: pull in any photo to trace from, without leaving your drawing • Smoother replays: auto playback plus a scrubber to step through every stroke ZOOM, REBUILT • Zoom is just zoom: it never moves or resizes the photo you're tracing • The canvas stays put — you can't zoom out past it or drag it off screen • One finger draws, two fingers pan and zoom, always. No mode to switch • Apple Pencil users can let a single finger pan: Settings › Gestures • Moving a reference photo is its own mode, with Reset Photo when you overshoot EVERYWHERE ELSE • Replays and Settings are full screens now instead of popups • German, Spanish, French, and Japanese are fully translated • Refreshed icons and a cleaner, faster workspace throughout Thanks for tracing with us. Send feedback any time from Settings.
