# What's New? NPS Image Editor 4 codename "Pyrite" brings a fresh new look and numerous improvements to the NPS Image Editor you know and love. ## New look and feel A new, modernized set of colors, icons, and shaped brings NPS Image Editor into the Windows 11 era. Enjoy the new Acrylic theme (or switch back to Elegant if you prefer the old one). ## Dark mode Dark mode is now fully functional. The theme will automatically switch from light to dark with the operating system's setting and no longer requires a restart of NPS Image Editor to apply. Countless inconsisrencies have been fixed. ## Layer mask and Magic Wand tool Create non-rectangular layers for later manipulation. One way to do this is to use the new Magic Wand tool that lets you select pixels by color. ## Gradient tool Quickly draw a gradient between two points. ## Document templates Create simple or complex templates to make common workflows easier. Just click the pencil on the welcome screen to access the template editor. ## New filters All of the filters that come with NPS Image Editor have been rewritten for better performance and integration using the new Pyrite Extension Model. Coming soon: a template for you to create your own filters! ## Filter Gallery The all-new Filter Gallery makes it easier to pick the right filter to apply to your image. ## Indexed mode Edit indexed images while preserving their palette, and edit the palette's colors independently of their pixels. ## Animation You can edit the frames of animated GIFs, including animation details and palettes. ## See also: Release Notes
