Since our [last release](https://img.ly/blog/creative-editor-sdk-v1-19-release-notes.md), we've been crafting new features to empower your users’ creative journey. Today, we are happy to introduce CE.SDK v1.20!

With this release, you can:

### Create Unique Element Combinations

**Platforms:** iOS, Android, Web, API

Forge **limitless combinations** of photos, videos, texts, and shapes with our new boolean operations feature. This dynamic suite includes operations such as Combine, Subtract, Intersect, and Exclude.

Subtract text from a shape, or seamlessly merge a distinctive shape with a lively **video clip.** With these powerful tools, your creativity knows no bounds, offering the freedom to craft truly unique design elements.

Breathe life into your content and set the ambiance! We've recently updated the user interface on iOS to include Appearance Settings. Now, users can enhance their visual content with advanced improvements. This includes **precise adjustments**, creative **filters**, effects, and blur options.  
Experience our new features by using the free Demo Design Editor, now live on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/img-ly-design-editor/id1672991141).

### Optimize High-Quality Asset Imports

Importing high-quality assets, like photos, can strain your device and impact your editor performance. Imagine editing on your phone and just importing a 5k pixels stock photo. Our smart engine steps in, creating an image source set with different resolutions: The intelligent engine selects the **optimal target resolution** for your asset and seamlessly switches to it.

The technical scoop? This update **minimizes network bandwidth**, **loading times**, and runtime **memory usage**.

### Keep Designs in Focus on Android

With our new Camera Zoom Limits, editing a design is simpler. Your page remains in focus to prevent accidental scrolling outside the design. The zoom level is set within a minimum and maximum range for a sensible, usable view at all times. Lastly, when you select an element in your design, it will remain in focus when opening adjustments or any other inspectors. This allows you to instantly view changes made to the selected element.  
Try our live Demo Design Editor for free, on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ly.img.cesdk.catalog).
