The bitmap editing user interface gains new selection tools (including Magic Wand) alongside cropping, filling and vectorising. Support for fill effects on individual layers has been extended from just four to an unlimited number in Sketch 3, while the Noise effect is now a separate fill with three different patterns, variable intensity and custom blending options all available. Users also gain a full-screen Presentation Mode, allowing them to review or display work without any distracting elements like the Inspector or toolbar. Users can also export to multiple sizes and formats simultaneously and enjoy one-click Artboards export as well as support for exporting Artboard and Slice backgrounds.īoth Text Styles and Layer Styles have been redesigned and unified for a more consistent experience, while the Inspector has also been revamped to make accessing anything much quicker - an example of this is that common colors now appear automatically in the Inspector. Individual slices can now be treated as Layers, while Layers and Groups are now directly exportable too. Sketch 3 also ships with a vastly improved Export Tool. The Symbol can then be used in multiple places on a document, and making changes to one Symbol automatically updates the others too. Users can now create an object from multiple layers, then convert the group to a Symbol via a single click.
The headline new feature in Sketch 3 are support for Symbols.
