fxPAINT 2.0 in December
« on: November 09, 2002, 03:46:41 PM »
IOSPIRIT is proud to announce the long awaited version 2.0 of fxPAINT today.

fxPAINT 2.0 includes many new features, that will open up new graphical horizons to you. Besides the generally improved working speed and many new effects, a lot has been done at the modules, too. The fxALBUM- and fxCONV(batch processing)-modules have been heavily extended, new modules like e.g. the "Navigation Builder" and the "Color variations"-wizard have been added.



 One of the most important new features is the support for gradients that may consist of a theoretically unlimited number of colors and transparency-values. Together with the also brand-new gradient tool you can easily add gradients to pictures or use them as background.

Furthermore direct support for Truetype®,-fonts, PNG-files (loading and saving, incl. all options like alpha-channel, etc.), the system clipboard and Turboprint has been added. The ARexx-port and its nearly 90 new commands as well as the numerous scripts contained offer additional functionality.

fxPAINT 2.0 will, besides the support for 68K-systems, also offer native support for MorphOS, Amithlon, PowerUP and WarpUP and thus, independant of which platform it runs on, allow you to work at full speed. An adaption for AmigaOS 4.0 is already being worked on and will be made available as a free download upon the time of completion.

An overview over all, including many more, new features as well as the possibility to purchase fxPAINT 2.0 at a time-limited special price can be found on the all-new fxPAINT 2.0 subpages. Delivery is scheduled for the first half of December 2002.

Oh that sounds nice. How does this rate compared to the others? I have never used it.

I have seen an old demo and it seems very user friendly and with many features, I would definetly buy it on a new Amiga if it had a more accessible price lets say 50-60 euro (I`m a student and I don`t earn money yet). I know this kind of programs for windows worth a fortune and in linux are free, but if we want people to develop apps for our favorite OS we`d better support them with our wallet. I dont want to use linux nor windows.

I used fxPaint 1.5 on my A4000 and it was great. It was fast, powerful and really easy to use.
I'll upgrade to fxPaint 2.0 as soon as I get my AOne with OS4.0.

Santa

Hi,

. How does this rate compared to the others

FXPaint is a great program, I love the RGB shift and the layers system works very well, You can do lots of different effects and then if it looks right you can "fix" it..
I also like its use of Alfa channels..
A great program.
