IOSPIRIT is pleased to present you today a demo version of fxPAINT 2.0 - immediately available through their download section. Limitations/specialities of the demo version:

- saving is disabled
- DEMO-text on every image
- the demo version is noticably slower than the full version
- a small refresh bug due to the DEMO-text-effect when zooming is lower than 100 percent. This bug ONLY exists in the demo version
- some features of the full version are missing completly or are disabled

The demo version comes with all native modules for 68K, PPC (WarpUP, PowerUP, MorphOS) and x86 (Amithlon) and gives you - except for the limitations of the demo - an impression and some insight of fxPAINT 2.0.

Have fun!

Nice, but I don't think it's a good idea to make the demo version slower than the real thing.

In reply to Comment 3 (StAn):
It is still fast though ;) .. the slow down is mostly caused by

a) non-CPU optimized versions for every 68K CPU (this would have made the demo archive at least 8 MB) but only for 68020 and 68020+FPU

b) the demo-effect that is put over every image being worked on also requires some CPU power

Maybe it was a mistake to put this notice in the news text - I'm sure most people wouldn't have noticed otherwise anyway. The note was only put there for people who regularly use fxPAINT V1/1.5 and wonder why the demo feels a bit slower. I hope this info clarifies things.

Thanks for asking and enjoy the demo.

Oh, ok. I think it's a good idea to mention the speed loss, to make people aware of the fact that the full version is faster.

I pre-ordered fxPaint 2.0 before Christmas and have been using it on a daily
basis ever since! This is the best paint/fx package currently available for
the Amiga. I also use ImageFX 4.1 (just ordered 4.5) and find both of them
to be rather indespensible.

Oh, yeah... and fxPaint FLIES on an Amithlon system!
