JOIN >>DISCORD SERVER<< https://discord.gg/Xv2ZNnQ

Recommended Min Spec: 4Gb Ram. i7 2Ghz, 970GTX or Radeon 590RX Min

Windows 10 only - Removed 'Windowed Experimental' - unstable, unwanted artefacts in grids and placement in pixel mode (stupid numbers). No windowed version any time soon, sorry.

Version Changes: V0.54 - C64 converting and scanning for cleanup.

NEXT UP:
Project saving (a massive feat, plus turning the bloaty arrays into a string array than can make for better undo systems and project saving info)
IN PROGRESS:

Improving C64 auto clean mode. It's alot of manual labour to cleanup your images, but I'm looking at the best methods to do at least 60% of the work for you.
NEW:

Some more UI buttons and fixes here and there
You can now toggle layer hide/show (right Mouse button)
Hidden C64 mode .. to activate it... well .. guess!
Opacity Slider for layers
Show/Hide Layers

Bigger pixel grid added
2 more sets of iso stuff (painterly and soft styles) 80 brushes included
Pre-select Memory modes

ScaleX slider (right click to reset to 1)

Known issues:

Tablet proportions broken if you have multiple monitors - Temporary solution, unplug power to secondary monitors Alt+Tab out and back will also help.

Undo is odd when clearing a layer, the strokes still exist in undo memory (this is fixable but will take some time as I need to truncate the undo memory..but...it's kind of optional).

UI incomplete / Mostly all shortcut keys

HD res only - no ability to zoom or anything

Opacity Blending is good as it gets



Planned features in future versions:

Reference image

Load Custom Brushes

Save Settings per Brush (in progress)

Multiple Layers

Painting Modes (Color modes)

UI Overhaul
