iStudio Publisher 1.1 features a new image manipulation tool and an improved image inspector palette that gives users more control over document images. Users can now size, position, and rotate images within their containing shapes, so they can focus on the part of the image that matters to them. Users can still add text inside and around a shape and a shape with an image in it at the same time, along with gradient fills and drop shadows.

The new version also features streamlined menus and keyboard shortcuts to make it easier for users to find the tools they need, without having pop-ups or palettes scattered across the interface. These new features join the recently released Multi-Line HUD tool.
