    WHAT'S NEW
    Version 3.5:
    New Stuff:
    • The magic wand selection tool now has an option for contiguous or non-contiguous selections. In addition to this, if you use the magic wand tool on a shape layer with the contiguous option turned off, it effectively works as a "select all shapes with this fill color" tool. Which is pretty rad if you have a bunch of shapes that you want to change the colors on.
    • New File -- Layer Export… menu item, which will export a single layer out of Acorn. In addition to this, if you have a shape layer that you want to export and it doesn't have any layer styles associated with it, a pure vector PDF will be written out.
    • The contextual menu now has a copy of the Layer -- Shape Align and Size menu for working with selected shapes quickly.
    • New layer blend modes: Divide, Lighter Color, Darker Color, Hard Mix, and Subtract.
    • New Generator -- Sunburst filter, which lets you make some awesome backgrounds.
    Changes:
    • Guides are now drawn when you free rotate your canvas.
    • In the Image Browser window (which you can open via File -- Open Folder… menu item), the little icons on either side of the zoom slider will now increase or decrease the zoom level of the preview images when clicked.
    • The "Open Image in Acorn" service will now work with selected files when used from the Finder.
    • If you're editing a file with Autosave + Versions turned on, and that file happens to be locked, Acorn will no longer warn you to duplicate it if you're only applying selections (which don't alter the image).
    • Holding down the shift key while rotating when using the Layer -- Rotate and Transform -- Scale and Rotate menu item will snap the rotation to 45° increments.
    • Increased the amount you can magnify an image with the zoom slider from 1000% to 2000%, which should help out Retina MBP owners. Pro tip: did you know you can click the little icons on either side of the slider to zoom in or out in a controlled fashion? And the zoom tool (shortcut key 'z') can zoom in even more than the slider!
    • Remove FXG as an exportable image format, since Adobe seems to have abandoned it.
    • Pressing the return or enter key on a shape layer no longer merges it down. Why did Acorn ever do this? I wish I knew, but it was on purpose.
    • Slight change in behavior with Image -- Trim to Edges: If a bitmap layer has pixels outside the canvas bounds, they are no longer taken into account when trimming down the size of the image.
    • Added a new property for JSTalk/JavaScript filters to show up in the Actions menu: set ACIsAction=true in the header section of your script.
    • Updated the JSTalk/JavaScript plugin to work on Group layers.
    • The "Plus Lighter" blend mode was renamed to "Linear Dodge", to more closely match other image editors.
    • The "Plus Darker" blend mode was renamed to "Linear Burn", to more closely match other image editors.
    • The blend modes were reordered to more closely match other image editors.
