- Description
A freeware program that allows to manipulate images by applying drastic filters such as gaussian blurs, motion blurs, burns, smudges, crystalization, pixelation, oilifying, changing color hues, just to name a few. with just a few mouse clicks. This program also contains really powerfull rendering tools for fancy text editing and menus and buttons. In addition it allows you to create your own brushes and blend palettes. If thats not enough it contains the best and large variety of selection tools I have used for precise image manipulation and ease.
- Capabilities
Text Rendering
Button Rendering
Background Rendering
Image Manipulating Filters
- Advantages
Great tool to generate or polish logos, banners, Backgrounds, and distorting images. The tools supplied make these tasks extremely easy to perfrom and generate images in mnutes if not seconds and doesnt require a great deal of art skills.
- Disadvantages
I don't recomend this program for creating solid objects. The drawing tools are very free and dont allow for easy line work, making it difficult to smooth out shapes. the selection tools can be used to create objects simply fill in the selections with a brush but this is a ruff concept to get used to.
- Utilization
I like to use this program to generate backgrounds and touch up art work and add lighting effects, motion blurs and bump maps.
- Examples
Water Background <<-- Rendered Background using 3 layers and opacity
Mountain Background <<-- Enhanced using Gaussian Blur and Lighting Effects
Grass Tiles <<-- Created Using a custom paint brush
Menu Button <<-- Generated Using Gradients and Bump Map
Fancy Text <<-- Font Rendering and Lighting Effects
All of the images above were created by me using this single program.
