Marmoset's is a specialized update for the grid-based digital art software, primarily focused on refining the user experience through technical stability and performance optimizations. While not a "feature-heavy" milestone, it serves as a critical maintenance release that ensures the tool remains a reliable choice for pixel artists and geometric illustrators.

Fixed persistent bugs related to copying and pasting animation properties.

A key highlight of 3.1.4 is the improved compatibility with macOS High Sierra , alongside a general reduction in GPU memory usage . This makes the software more accessible for users on older hardware or those working on complex, multi-layered projects.

Resolved an issue where re-saving an image could unintentionally crop "dead space" from the canvas.

Performance improvements were specifically applied to sketching with pixels , providing a more fluid, lag-free experience. Additionally, the update introduced better pixel brush shift constraints , allowing for more precise control when drawing straight lines or specific angles. Bug Fixes & Workflow Tweaks:

The Layer properties dialog now maintains its own undo stack , preventing accidental changes from disrupting the main project history.
