What s New This chapter introduces new features and lists the improvements and enhancements found in this release of SketchBook Mobile. For users of the SketchBook from the Samsung Store with Galaxy Notes Another way to sketch is to use the Samsung S Pen. SketchBook supports its pressure-sensitivity. S Pen with an erase is also compatible with SketchBook. In S Pen Mode, you can only sketch with S Pen. This is to prevent your fingers from leaving accidental strokes. You can still use your fingers to open the menu, pick different brushes, or do multi-touch gestures. Tap Change Settings to turn off Pen Mode. Copic brush and Copic colors Use the new Copic marker, found in the Brush Editor and use the new Copic Color Library. Layers The maximum number of layers available is 12 (512MB RAM mobile devices and above). Improvements and enhancements Improvements have been made in the following areas: Bug fixes Performance enhancements

What is simulated pressure sensitivity? It is a property that makes lines get thinner and more transparent at the beginning and end of strokes. Fast Stroke Slow Stroke For example, the stroke of a default pencil fades at the tip. The speed of your stroke affects how long the fading portion is. In the Brush Editor, the Min and Max values for Size and Opacity drive this. Therefore, if Min is 2 pixels and Max is 8, the synthetic pressure will apply this range to the ends of strokes, based on the speed/intensity of your strokes, creating what we call simulated pressure sensitivity.
