- 📦CopyIt The Grid Drawing Method version 8.3- A second reference layer with opacity control can now be used as an overlay to the original reference image. You can load a second image and/or add annotations (text, lines, rect, ellipses, freehand/Apple Pencil, colours). This allows for endless combinations. For example, you can load the same image again and using the opacity control combined with CopyIt features like Pencil Sketch, Mosaic, Filters, ValueMap etc., it provides another level of insight into studying your subject. You could also load in a photo of your work-in-progress as the second reference and fade between the two to check accuracy.
- Mosaic now works with Greyscale and Negative Greyscale Filters (turn on the filter first, then Mosaic) so you can use Tonal Strip for block value studies.
- Added preset toolbar colour schemes: Classic Grey, Slate Contrast, Ivory Draft, Blueprint, Forest Studio, Oxford Plum, Sandstone, Harbor Teal, Merlot, Mist and Custom.
- Grid Size presets are now always available and automatically best suit the current Media Size. Old presets become custom columns/rows.
- Create your own MixMap custom colours with your own label using RGB or HEX format.
- SmartMove movement buttons have been added (Previous/Next) to quickly navigate the grid cells. The button panel can be dragged and repositioned when active.
- Free Art Teacher resources have been added to the CopyIt webpage (lesson plans and student handouts). Visit https://www.nigelgreensapps.com/copyit
- Improved visibility of some interface controls.

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
