It’s well-liked, but my first question was… “so, what’s new in version 2” (circa late 2018)? Discovering this was a pain, there’s not even a rundown on YouTube. But I found the features, and more on the Changelog.Ĭolour History, in the Swatch that sits below the Picker. Ok, so this shows it’s obviously relatively fully-featured, but the ancient old-school Windows interface hasn’t changed. I might live with that, as ‘an old hand’ with Windows 3, Vista ( shudder…) and XP and 7. Nor is there any old Windows 7 freeware which can re-colour a window’s UI or even give it a simple inverted ‘dark mode’. You can at least make the panels free-floating, by hacking the. V.2 now has no need to hand-edit misc.ini just to get free-floating panels.

There was a lot of disk-access chatter when I first used any brush, until I turned off: Top Menu | Other | History | “To suppress memory usage…”.

Having this setting ON constantly flushes the history to disk to ‘save memory’. SSD users will not hear the “chatter” of the drive, but will still want it turned off to save drive life.ģ.īut that’s not a problem on a workstation with plenty of spare RAM, so turn it off. Absolutely no problem running for a long test with an old Ugee pen driver.Ĥ. Superbly fast brushes, even when made complex and big and run on a 6000 x 5000px 300dpi canvas, with blending.ĥ. The free-floating UI arrangement is persistent across sessions. The ‘Windows 3’ look is quickly acceptable and forgotten about, but I still wish there was a dark mode.Ħ. Doesn’t ship with a vast and overwhelming armada of brushes, but does seem to ship with all the cool tips and textures you need to home-brew your own.ħ.

Seems ideal for really fast speedpainting on a 6k canvas.Ĩ.
