Release id #122077 : Pixcen
Hi all!
I'm opening this forum for Pixcen. Please post your feature requests and bug reports here if possible to keep the comment section clean(er).
As of this weekend (2013/10/12) I have hopefully fixed a crash (as reported by Dr.Science & Bamse), changed some menu items and implemented mirror/flip, shift and rotate on selected areas. To be uploaded. |

@Shine:
Yes a good idea. What about a "Masked Paste" as CTRL+Shift+V or some other key combo where the currently selected background color is masked.
Simple to implement. |

<REQ>
Copy & Paste:
What about a "freehand" copy?
If i need to copy areas which are not square or rectangle.
(maybe select pixel by pixel mode; selectable sub areas). |

why dont you just do all this fancy stuff in an appropriate pc editor, then convert and final touchup in the c64 crosstool?
it's not like a hobby coder has all the time in the world to duplicate every PS function and what not. :) |

First and foremost because non of the other paint programs has a 3-colour limiter, and at least I am kind of lost without it. It's also nice to have an all-in-one package and a program that is focused on doing the thing you want and nothing else.
What in the world are you talking about "all the time in the world". Being responsible for some of my favourite C64-productions, you of all people must know how much you're willing to sacrifice for a project powered by passion. Ofcourse you know this, but some of the productions on this board have been in development for ridiculous amounts of time.
The funny thing is... I'm making the transition from your Project One to this (because Project One is unstable and lacks a few features I'd like). I won't ask why you've stopped developing it, but be grateful for you having done so much for it in the first place, resulting in me making graphics again. So thanx! :) |

I accept all feature requests. Many things requested I have already thought of but requests helps me prioritize. Some requests are really simple to implement, others are heavier and postponed and some I will just ignore :-)
My design idea with Pixcen is to keep it fairly low level (Koala paint / Ultrafont) but with many modern conveniences. I do encourage people to make the first draft in a higher level app like GIMP/Photoshop and then import (don't forget about pixel aspect ratio). |

grasstust, thanks for the nice words :) I've said what I did, because, I feel really bad for losing interest in p1 and through that not supporting the ppl using it. I'd like if ppl could hop to pixcen from p1, and if CRT wouldnt loose interest developing it, before he gets the tool to the sweet spot. So I think he should focus on things that are important for the c64 part of the tool.
Also I think It's not like the greatest pics of the world are made up of copy-pasted areas selected by magic wand tools. :) But if you really need that then make a sketch in your fave high end editor, and do the rest in pixcen, which should rather have fancy helping in cramming 3 colors into 1 char instead of magic wand selection tools. |

its 4 colors btw =) however: try promotion, it can do that (and is by far the best PC pixeling tool, IMHO)
p1 not being closed source would've helped - i certainly would have (tried to) fix one or two things that were annoying me :) |

Yeah you're right. I usually leave out the background color. Anyway, guys, I'm sticking to Pixcen! Love the program and I've already gotten some much needed features made and I think this is an opportunity for all graphic artists to get some features they really want! |

Status report. I was planning to upload a Pixcen with sprite mode support this weekend but I'm holding it back a bit. I got sprites working but I'm not happy with the overall code design, too much duplicated and hacked code. I found some bugs so I have started some restructuring. Also implemented back buffers (animation frames if you like). With this feature it's easy to step frames and paint in any mode (bitmap, char, sprite). |

I would really love it if there was a replace color-function, so one could try out different color combinations even after something was painted. Maybe even make it selectable, mark a certain area and the color changes would only affect the selected area. |
