Great News! Hot off the Press!
Genesi and Cloanto announced today that they entered into an agreement to develop a port of Cloanto's Personal Paint for MorphOS. Personal Paint is the leading palette-based graphics package for the Amiga computers, and is still preferred by enthusiasts, video artists, game developers and professionals alike for its set of powerful and user friendly features which have no counterpart on any platform. Under the new agreement, Cloanto is sharing the source code with Genesi, who will assist in the port to its exciting PowerPC-based computing platform. Personal Paint will be bundled with MorphOS.

You probably missed the anim-GIF, the palette merge, the color reduction, all these things you can't do with true color only software? :-)
Palette and true color are different worlds, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Personal Paint remains IMHO the best palette-based program, on any platform.
Beginning work on Personal Paint also implies that there is a future beyond 1997, or whenever the last major version was released. If that is not good news... |
