What's New


Image Adjustments and Cropping in deviantART muro

Last week, we launched a new set of tools for DeviantArt muro to Beta Testers, and thanks to the efforts of the Beta Testers in reporting bugs, and mudimba's quick work fixing those bugs, we are launching these tools to everyone!
  • The new "Adjust" panel allows you to adjust a variety of color settings, including contrast, tint, and color temperature. These changes can be applied to an individual layer or the whole image, giving you an even broader means of creating dynamic works of art!
  • Crop your artwork by selecting a portion of the canvas and then selecting the "Crop to Selection" option from the Edit menu.
  • Add annotations to works in progress by clicking on the yellow Annotation button in the toolbar.

Your Feedback


Thank you for the feedback left on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say.
  • Deviants were pleased with the new tools for deviantART muro.
  • Feedback regarding the Journal Portal varied. Some deviants mentioned that they didn't see a need for so many categories for Journals, and others mentioned that they weren't aware the category could be changed to begin with. 
  • Some deviants would like to be able to replace deviation files with files from their Sta.sh. Suggested by Ankh-Ascendant
  • Deviants would find it helpful if Polls they have voted on would indicate which option they voted for. Suggested by Miguel-Santos

Do something about :icondeviantartsecret:. It's getting out of control, and definitely not in keeping with the values of this website. You need to fix that category (why they have their own is seriously beyond us) which they have. People are unhappy that they are seeing stupid chunks of inartistic text on the front page.
