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 73 of 79 | ANN.lu |
Posted by erkan on 07-Jan-2004 14:40 GMT | In reply to Comment 72 (Olegil): If I wanted to do my buttons for my homepages in Photoshop I would first have to buy a 700 pages book about PS and read it through.
Some techniques in PS still amaze me! for example there was an example on the web on how to do a simple button. In Dpaint och PP I would simply draw the left side of the button, copy it and mirror it and then have a button, if I would want it to be transparant I would select the right colors and save it as a brush, very easy!. But the walkthrough for creating a simple 2D button in PS was extremely complex involving choosing stuff from menues at the top. It was in no way possible for me to do the same thing in PS without training! And I dont exactly get the impression PS was made for making graphics by drawing lines or plotting pixels, its more an image process program (and yeah I always forget how to save stuff as transparant gifs in PS).
I would much prefer to make for example a logo in PP instead of PS. It all comes down to what you prefer and what you like to work with. If youre 15 years old, grown up on Tekken and multimillion dollar computer animated movies that looks like shit (perhaps you are the ones who where amazed by Jar Jar in Episode 1) I suspect PS is your choice when making graphics.
You know its funny none here has said anything about the pixelization trend on the net. Just take a look on the net and you will see dozens of pages with small parts that are meant to have that trendy "pixelated" retro look. Do you want to do that in PS or PP. I know I wont sit in PS and waste 3 hours on some buttons...
With that said, I would really like to be able to handle more than 256 colors in PP. This comes in handy when I need to cut out a part from a jpg. |
