Readymag updates

Picture widget updated
— Editor — Picture

We have significantly updated the Picture widget.

First, all widget corners can now be rounded independently. You can also set different roundings for desktop and mobile.

Second, we have added a new Progressive images toggle to the Project Settings menu. This feature allows you to render images gradually for visitors, transforming them from blurred previews to full images.

Third, you can now crop images even more accurately—the crop scale is now almost twice as sensitive. Use 100% and 50% values instead of the old 1:1 and 1:2 buttons, which have been removed with the update.

Finally, Readymag now converts all images to the WebP format, making projects load faster. This improvement affects all Readymag projects —even those put together before the update. Note that some browsers don’t currently support WebP.

You can learn more about Picture widget in our Help section.

New shortcuts
— Editor

We have added several new shortcuts to help speed up your work process:

—Cmd+click (Ctrl+click for Windows) to select a single widget from a group, or a widget that is located below another one.

—Cmd+X (Ctrl+X for Windows) ‘cuts’ a widget (copies and removes it at the same time). The widget can then be pasted using Cmd+V (Ctrl+V) shortcut.

—Cmd+↑ (Ctrl+↑ for Windows) will make a widget smaller in a vertical dimension, while Cmd+↓ (Ctrl+↓) will make it bigger.

Cmd+→ (Ctrl+→ for Windows) will make a widget bigger in a horizontal dimension, while Cmd+← (Ctrl+←) will make it smaller.

You can also add Shift to each of these shortcuts to get a tenfold increase of a single step.

—Pressing keyboard numbers from 0 to 10 sets a degree of widget transparency (for Shape, Picture and Button widgets).
