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.

Genesi and Cloanto Announce Personal Paint for MorphOS : Comment 41 of 79 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 06-Jan-2004 09:46 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (graviel slate): "Weird... I tried using Personal Paint recently and it seemed be at the same level of MS Paint. Seems like I was unable to find the "Enable Cool Stuff" option. What am I missing? (other than intelligence; I already know about that...)"
I think you are looking for an "effects" program. Personal Paint is a paint program, for creating 8 bit images from scratch.
It is particularly useful for making images for use as GIF files on web pages, especially diagrams and charts, but also buttons, arrows etc.
Its main fault, IMO, is the lack of a Light Table or any automatic perspective moves for animation. This is where ProMotion (Windows program) and DPaint are better.
OTOH PPaint has excellent features for handling text, including animated text. |
