Features of version 3.6.6:

  • Reference view that replicates canvas movements, in order to always focus on the portion of the image we are currently working on. You can see a simple demonstration here.
  • Video export of drawing process into an avi video file: ready to upload it on YouTube, Vimeo or other web video sharing platforms. (**)
  • Multiple layers.
  • Ability to vary stroke size and/or opacity according to pen pressure (supports Wacom digitizers and tablets with Wacom technologies, like ASUS VivoTab note 8 ***)
  • Replay of drawing process.
  • Very rich brush engine (possibility to specify brush texture, color dynamics, scattering, size and angle jitter, and more..).
  • Import/export of the whole drawing process.
  • Loading and saving of most common image formats (jpg, png, tif, tga, dds).
  • Canvas rotation.
  • Canvas horizontal flip.
  • Selection mask.
  • Image crop: watch demo.
  • Perspective grid overlay: watch demo.
  • Brush library: possibility to choose among different brushes, import new brushes and even to define new custom brushes: watch demo.
  • Mirror tool: to create horizontally mirrored images (useful for symmetrical shapes or drawing faces) or radial repetitions of a pattern, like in mandala paintings: watch demo.

(*) Go to the download page for the XP version.

(**) The video export dialog allows to choose among different video formats and codecs. I suggest to install the Xvid video codec in order to obtain a good compromise between video quality and the size of the resulting video file.

(***) To take advantage of pressure-sensitive features on Wacom enabled tablets, it is recommended to install the Wacom feel driver.
