Description
===========
MAIN FEATURES
fxPAINT is a strongly extended image processing software for the AMIGA.
It contains the usual painting tools, but also offers a lot more. E.g.
it`s possible to mark whole areas by a simple mouseclick. Gradients can
be added by a simple dragging, too. fxPAINT allows you the usage of
several, natural pens like chalk, pencil, the so called "Artist Pen" or
simply with pens, that were cut from another picture before. As you might
already have thought, when reading fxPAINT`s name, fxPAINT is not limit
to painting with colors or cutted pens, but offers you a great palette of
high-quality effects. This includes, but isn`t limited to: Standards-
effects like changing of brightness, contrast or gamma. Special-effects
like light-sources or bumpmapped surfaces, glow- and shadow-effects, waves,
explosive supernovas, distortions, etc. You`ll also find professional tools
like Gradtion-curves or matrix operations. This opens up a great number of
posibilities to create and design pictures. Another special feature is fxPAINT`s
realtime-mode, that shows changes to the effect-settings immediately after
they were made. E.g. Light-sources can be dragged over the pictures - in
realtime and full quality!! fxPAINT basically is similiar to a layer-based
image processing package, but it isn`t directly equal to it. You can paint
with effects while the Alpha-Channel (that can have full 24bit-depth) is
fully used, if active. Painting-mistakes can be fixed easily by the undo
and redo-function. Of course fxPAINT is not only very usable for changing
and manipulating images but also for creating them. E.g. fire, fractals,
screenshots, videodigitizes, etc. can be made directly from within fxPAINT
by some simple clicks.
EXTERNAL DEVICES AND MODULES
The support of scanners and videodigitizers and an open, documented Plugin-API
will make you feel, that other programs aren`t needed any more. To guarantee
brilliant printings, optimized routines for the printer.device and TurboPrint
are available within fxPAINT. fxPAINT keeps the internal multitasking. You can
work even while scanning!
INTERNAL MODULES
Maybe you are one of those (like me, too), that don`t make great efforts to
sort the graphics on HD in order to keep an overview over them. That`s why
you might like the inbuilt picture database called fxALBUM. Editing a picture
is very easy then, as you only have to click on the image and on another button
in order to have the picture loaded in fxPAINT. If you want to, you can print
overviews over your pictures as well. For fast conversions between the file
formats, the module fxCONV is available. It allows you automated conversion of
several directories and/or files full of pictures into another format easily.
If you want to create graphics for the WWW and want to make use of so called
HTML-Imagemaps, fxIMAGEMAP might be your tool, allowing you easy creation of
ImageMaps within minutes!
THE GUI-SYSTEM
fxPAINT has internal BOOPSI-classes of its own, that ideally adapt to the used
hardware. No matter what hardware is used, the fxPAINT-GUI is full of images,
what makes fxPAINT more usable and effective. Of course, a bubble-help-system is
available describing the most important buttons, so you needn`t guess, what this
or that button might be for. On truecolor-screens, fxPAINT`s GUI is most impressing,
because it then uses 24bit-gradients, that give it an even more modern and unique
look. fxPAINT offers you the ability to adapt to your already existing knowledge
by offering three modes for novices, average users and experts.
