Resize handles, text that behaves, and edits you can copy
A release about working directly on the page: real handles on photos and text, clicks that land on what you meant, and a way to carry one photo's edit to the rest of a set.
Proper resize handles#
Photo frames on book pages carry four corner dots and four edge bars. Drag a corner to scale the frame with its crop kept. Hold Shift to resize freely instead. Drag an edge bar to stretch in one direction while the opposite side holds still.
Text blocks get width handles on either side. Drag one and the far edge stays put while the text reflows to the new width.
The pages these frames sit on start as a row of photographs on the desk. Select the row, press B, and the photographs become pages.
Text comes first#
Click a caption laid over a photo and you now get the caption, not the photo underneath it. And while you are typing, nothing beneath the text block can steal a click.
Copy an edit across photos#
Press ⌥⌘C to lift a photo's whole edit: crop, tone, and film together. Select any other photos and press ⌥⌘V to apply it. Each photo keeps its own copy of the edit, so changing one later does not touch the others.
This is the fastest way to give a set of photos from the same roll the same treatment, then fine-tune each one on its own.
Also in this release#
- The text card shows a swatch row of every colour already in use in the project. Pick a new colour and it joins the row. Stop using one and it leaves.
- Every page tag has a + now. Click it to add a page right after that one, without a trip through the book card.
