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 68 of 79 | ANN.lu |
Posted by ehaines on 06-Jan-2004 23:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 67 (MarkTime): "it's only that one rarely works with 256 color images,"
If you're doing Web stuff, it's pretty common.
"and that you don't need a powerpc computer to work with those astonishingly simple 256 color images."
Well, sure, and you don't need a 3 GHz Pentium to work with those astonishingly
simple inter-office memos, either, so what's your point?
"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."
I hope you mean updating it if someone has some good ideas for making the
program actually work better, rather than just throwing features at it. More
features != modern. (Well, actually, more features does seem to mean modern
these days, but that's bad, not good. *Better* features, not *more* of them,
is where to go, now that most programs have all the features they need. Don't
put a lot of image-processing junk into a pixel-editing program,
thankyewverymuch.) |
