Its standout feature is a non-destructive, procedural node graph system that powers both layer effects and a new node-based brush engine introduced in version 2.1. Other recent additions include adjustment layers (blur, sharpen, smudge, brighten/darken), new custom brushes, onion skinning for animation, and sprite sheet/texture atlas export for game development. The core app is free; optional paid extensions cover advanced pixel art, skybox design, normal map creation, and 3D texture preview. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
