Wish List for V12

The Shodow tools have never been updated, AFAIK.

What would really help is Graduated Feathering.
This will allow the user to make more realistic and personalised shadows, and other effects.

+1 on updating the shadow tool.

Maybe let us set a default as well.

+2 here. Perhaps Profiles, just like we have with 2 point gradient fills?

Just a thought.

I have them so seldom, it's exciting.

Hi everyone! so many great feature suggestions, and now I have to try and put them into a survey. I want to thank those who took the time to post their wishes and while this thread will remain open for discussion I have to stop collecting requests and get the Survey up and running

I hope to post a link here within a day or two

Thanks, Frances.

Hi Frances,
Can I still sneak this in?

Capability to repeat last action or transform; i.e., rotate 10 degrees in rotation box,then repeat it (via keystroke). Better yet, a way to write macros (like PS actions) within XDP.

Ok the wishlist survey is up and live! I wound up with about 18 items, it was so hard deciding what to include There were so many items here and I spent time going through the forums too. I wish I could have included them all but I needed to keep it quick and easy to fill out. All you have to do is rate each item on a scale of 0 -10 with zero being the lowest.

Thanks Frances. Beautifully executed, easy to navigate, a pleasure to be able to send organized opinions to TPTB!

Not what you're really after, but it might be useful to know text can be added to SmartShape arrows. In the example below I used the 'Double Arrow 3' SmartShape.
