When only a fill or stroke has an Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate or Revolve effect, the object's
Transform effects reshape the path, and now the raster effects of every fill and stroke follow them
too, as they do on an object without a 3D effect: a shadow after the fill's 3D effect and another
fill's shadow scale and turn with the art.
A Transform effect on a group reshaped its members' paths but left the
raster effects inside it at their own values: a member's Drop Shadow
kept its 10 pt offset under a 200% Transform effect, and with Scale
Strokes & Effects on, it scaled by the mean scale without turning. The
same held for the raster effects of an object's own fills and strokes
under the object's Transform effect.
- A Transform effect that moves the art once now transforms the raster
effects of a group's members (their own and their fills' and
strokes'), of nested groups, of the art of the linked opacity masks
in it and of an object's fills and strokes, after the members' own
Transform effects: sizes scale by the mean scale and a Drop Shadow's
offset turns, reflects and scales. A raster effect that a member's
own Transform effect with copies or random holds back keeps its value
through that effect and still transforms with the group's. Scale
Strokes & Effects does not scale them a second time. A group's or
object's Transform effect that makes copies or moves at random leaves
them as before.
- The canvas, the redraw region, export, Expand Appearance, Object ›
Expand and Outline Stroke read the same values.
- The Transform effect's params text and docs/target-app-parity.md
describe the rule.
Effects apply in the order they are listed, so an effect listed after a
Transform effect applies to the art the Transform effect made, at its
own values, as an object's later effects do after the object's
Transform effect. With Scale Strokes & Effects on, a fill's or stroke's
own Transform effect scaled the effects listed after it in that fill's
or stroke's list by the mean scale: a 300% Transform turned a 5 pt
Offset Path after it into a 15 pt one, and a Drop Shadow after it took
three times its offset. With Transform Patterns or Scale Strokes &
Effects on, an SVG filter after it also had the origin of its user space
moved.
- The effects after such a Transform effect now keep their values, on
the transformed art and on each copy, on every fill and stroke a
live-effect plug-in paints the piece with, and when the copies are
counted against the effect budget.
- With Transform Objects off, the effects before it keep their values
too.
- The Transform params text, docs/target-app-parity.md and docs/gaps.md
describe the rule, and drop the note that listed an object's later
effects keeping their distances as a shortfall.
- A Transform effect that makes copies or moves at random, listed after
an Extrude or Revolve effect, now keeps the raster effects before the
3D effect at their own values, as it does without the 3D effect.
Before, the 3D art kept a Drop Shadow scaled by a Transform effect
between them.
- In a fill's or stroke's own effects, such a Transform effect also
keeps the raster effects before it from following an earlier
Transform effect with Transform Patterns on, and the Transform
effects between them.
- Colored Pencil's pencilWidth and Paint Daubs' brushSize are distances
in document units, so a Transform effect after them and Scale Strokes
& Effects scale them as they scale Palette Knife's strokeSize. The
Paint Daubs params text names the unit.
A raster effect listed before a Transform effect follows that Transform
effect on the canvas. Several commands apply and remove the geometry
effects, and they dropped the Transform effect while the raster effect
kept its old values: Object › Expand of a gradient or pattern fill,
Outline Stroke (also Expand's Stroke option and Flatten Transparency's
Convert All Strokes to Outlines) and the 3D effects. For a square with a
Drop Shadow and a 200% Transform effect, the canvas drew a 20 pt offset
and these commands gave a 10 pt one.
- These commands now keep the raster effects at the values the canvas
uses (without_geometry).
- A fill's or stroke's own Transform effect with Transform Patterns or
Scale Strokes & Effects on now transforms the raster effects listed
before it, as one without these options does. Before, Scale Strokes &
Effects only scaled them, and Transform Patterns left them as they
were.
- In a fill's or stroke's own effects, a Transform effect that makes
copies or moves at random keeps the raster effects before it from
following the Transform effects after it, as in an object's effects.
- The params text and docs/target-app-parity.md say that pixel filters
keep their angles and light directions.
The canvas kept the art of an image whose own fill or stroke follows the
outline of its pixels for as long as the image object stayed the same. When
the document's pixels for the image changed under the same key (Update Link
replacing a preview with the linked file's pixels), the stroke kept the old
outline while hit testing and Use Preview Bounds used the new one. The
renderer now keys that art by the document's pixels for the image too.
- vectorcraft-effects: `follows_image_pixels` names such images.
- vectorcraft-render: `reads_outside` counts them, and the resources key
hashes the address of the document's pixels for them; their walk is not
kept between frames.
- A test places an off-center opaque area in a smaller copy of the pixels
under a turned and reflected placement.
- Docs: the Outline Object params text names every case that keeps the frame
and the 50% cutoff as VectorCraft's own; docs/mcp.md's `effect.apply` entry
for Outline Object, how long an outline is kept and the 16-bit RGBA limit;
docs/target-app-parity.md's evidence lines.
Effects apply in the order they are listed, so a Drop Shadow, glow, blur,
Feather or pixel filter listed before a Transform effect paints art that
the Transform effect then transforms. VectorCraft drew such an
effect at its own distances around the transformed art: a square scaled
to 200% kept a 10 pt shadow offset. Now the effect follows the Transform
effects after it, with Scale Strokes & Effects on or off: its sizes scale
by the mean scale, and a Drop Shadow's offset turns, reflects and scales
with the art. Effects listed after the Transform effect keep their values,
and Transform Objects off changes nothing.
- raster_effects reads each raster effect through the Transform effects
after it, so the canvas, export and the redraw region use the followed
values.
- Where the geometry effects are applied and removed (Expand Appearance,
baking for export, evaluated groups), the raster effects that remain
carry the same transformation, hidden ones included.
- A Transform effect that makes copies or moves at random leaves the
raster effects before it as they are. Rasterize and SVG filters keep
their options.

An image's own fill or stroke with Outline Object now follows the outline of
the image's pixels that are at least 50% opaque, traced from the alpha and
fitted with curves, instead of the image's frame. An image without
transparency, one whose pixels can't be read, one of more than 64 megapixels
or whose decoded pixels take more than 256 MB, and one whose outline would
need more than 100,000 anchor points keep the frame. An image with no pixel
at least half opaque gives nothing to paint. Images of more than 4 megapixels
are traced from their alpha averaged down to 4 megapixels, and an averaged
pixel that covers a pixel at least half opaque stays at least half opaque, so
thin opaque lines stay in the outline. Each outline is traced once for its
pixels, kept for the next redraw while those pixels are loaded, and dropped
after them; a second thread that needs the same outline waits for the trace.
- vectorcraft-trace: `decode_alpha` reads an image's alpha, and
`opaque_outline` traces it as Black and White mode at threshold 128.
- vectorcraft-effects: the reshaped image art uses it for rows whose first
effect is Outline Object; Convert to Shape rows keep the frame.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, the Outline Object params text and an evidence line in
docs/target-app-parity.md. docs/mcp.md also says that Use Preview Bounds
takes in the shapes an image's fills and strokes paint.
A group with a visible member that carries a geometry, Pathfinder or 3D effect, also in an opacity mask, keeps its previous copies. Copies stop at the budget with what each copy's own effects make, and a group's copies count the art of opacity masks.
The PDF and SVG tests for a group's image copies now expect the original on top.
A Transform effect with copies on a group copied each member on its own,
so one member's copies lay over the fills of the next member. Each copy
is now a whole group, the original on top and each copy below the one
before. A path's copies follow the same order. Guides are not copied,
and the copies stop at the node limit. A group with its own fill or
stroke, a clipping group and live type keep their previous copies.
A path whose fills and strokes stack (a fill and a stroke, several of
either, an even-odd fill, or a partly transparent or blended one) drew
its Transform effect's copies as one path, so every copy's stroke lay on
top of every copy's fill. It now draws each copy as an object of its own
above the one before, as Expand Appearance makes them.
Fixes#5920
The geometry effects after a fill's or stroke's own Transform effect with
Scale Strokes & Effects or Transform Patterns now take the bounds of the
transformed path and all its copies as their reference box, as an
object's own effects do. A later Rotate turns the copies about their
combined center instead of turning each copy about its own, and a later
Offset Path or plain Transform applies to the paths themselves. Each copy
keeps its own scaled distances.
Part of #885
transform_item_leaf now holds back the leaf's geometry for each plain or transformed piece that follows a transformed fill or stroke, so the copies of an earlier item no longer use up the budget that a later fill or stroke still needs. The nested pass over a transformed piece keeps to the same reduced limit.
Each fill or stroke without such a Transform effect is drawn on the object's geometry again, so its cost now counts toward the budget that limits the Transform effect's copies. The object's own geometry is no longer counted a second time next to the pieces that replace it. The Transform effect options entry in docs/target-app-parity.md links the current help pages.
Part of #885
A Transform effect in a fill's or stroke's own effect list now applies its
Scale Strokes & Effects and Transform Patterns options as the same effect on
the object does: the stroke's weight and dashes, the distances of the fill's
or stroke's later effects and its pattern follow the transformation, each
copy once more than the last, and with Transform Objects off the geometry
stays and the options apply once. The fill or stroke becomes an object of
its own in the art the canvas, export and Expand Appearance draw, and Use
Preview Bounds measures that art too (also for the object-level options).
