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 67 of 79 | ANN.lu |
Posted by MarkTime on 06-Jan-2004 21:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 58 (Emeric SH): it's only that one rarely works with 256 color images, and that you don't need a powerpc computer to work with those astonishingly simple 256 color images.
If you want ppaint, well the good news is, everyone that would want it, probably already has it.
and then there is the part, where the idea that ppaint is the best 256 color image editor is just false anyway. But, its definately the best for someone who already owns it, and is familiar with using it.
but I don't want to bash the classic ppaint, it was a classic, just like lightwave. But I can't stand the site of lightwave 5.0 anymore... times have changed, we expect more now.
I would love to see a revival of ppaint, but not based on the old actual code, but rather based on what made it good, and take its good points along with the good points of the gimp and similar products and have a go at a modern program..
but again...good job on porting another piece of software, and it is better to have it, than not have it. |
