GrafX2 Description

A free pixelart-oriented painting program GrafX2 is a free bitmap paint program that will allow you to draw in more than 60 video resolutions (from 320x200, including most of the standard Amiga resolutions : 320x256, 320x512, 640x256, 640x512, etc... provided your videocard knows how to handle them). GrafX2 was written to run under DOS, but the code you will find here was modified to use SDL and modern operating systems. The GrafX2 program is dedicated to everybody who knows what a single pixel is. GrafX2's layout is not very different from the famous Brilliance or Deluxe Paint, so it will be quite easy to handle it if you know at least one of these programs.If you aren't used to the art of drawing with up to 256 colors, it will be a little more difficult for you, but you should give it a try (or more, because most of the power of this program won't show up on the first try). Then, you might eventually like to draw the oldskool way with GrafX2.The program is perfectly operational and offers all the useful tools you can expect from a bitmap paint program (if they aren't already available, they will be).Grafx2 is working on the following machines:· Mac OS X (both ppc and x86)· Amiga OS 3.x 68k· Amiga OS 4 PowerPC· AROS· BeOS· DOS (Windows version, with the HX Extender)· FreeBSD· Haiku· Linux· MorphOS· Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP Here are some key features of "GrafX2": · Image editing in indexed colors (with palette), up to 256 colors · Classical tools: lines, circles, text, multiple undo/redo, built-in brushes, ... · Less classical tools: airbrush, splines, gradient-filled shapes, custom brushes · Dual-view mode, you can see and draw both zoomed and actual size views at the same time · Extensive palette editor: RGB and HSL color systems, editing group of colors, define and create color ranges · Palette control: reorder colors without altering picture, common palette generation for merging two images · Shading mode: helps you to antialias with your own gradients · Grid mode: draw tile and easily assemble and copy them to create a screen mockup. · Patterned mode · Transparency, smoothing, smearing, and other advanced effects · Extensive and customizable shortcuts.
