New PC paintprogram for c64

Some of you might already know this, but i've been working on a paintprogram of my own for some time now.

It's based on Paint.Net (http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ (check it out, it's great (and free!))), so it has layer functionality, effects, all default tools, antialiasing, unlimited history and more fancy stuff you'll only find in that program and photoshop but my adaptation also has filters to convert to c64 formats (FLI, koala and single color bitmap but also the option to convert to sprites and more).
On top of that you can paint and draw in single and multicolour mode with all 16 c64 colours and a transparent colour.

Here's a screenshot of what it currently looks like and shows some of the features:

It currently doesn't export anything, because i'm not quite sure how to implement that yet, so any suggestions are welcome :)

For the moment i'd like to get some feedback and in about a month (I have to put together a document first on how to use it) I'll be putting out a first alpha version which people can test (this requires windows 2000/server 2003/XP and the .Net framework 1.1)

Cheers,

Mirage/Focus

Sounds great. I hope you'll spend some time on the exporting features, beacause then it would be a really super useful deluxe program. Dunno what kind of suggestions you want, but the most important is of course to be able to export chunks of binary data suitable for direct "insertion" in c64 memory. Personally I don't really need anything else than that.

i agree here :)

nothing is more annoying than getting some .kla or .fli of whatever painter-format out. what we want is the raw data, so it's easy to include in code...
