Description
===========
    MAIN FEATURES
    fxPAINT is a strongly extended image processing software for the AMIGA.
    It contains the usual painting tools, but also offers a lot more. E.g.
    it`s possible to mark whole areas by a simple mouseclick. Gradients can
    be added by a simple dragging, too. fxPAINT allows you the usage of
    several, natural pens like chalk, pencil, the so called "Artist Pen" or
    simply with pens, that were cut from another picture before. As you might
    already have thought, when reading fxPAINT`s name, fxPAINT is not limit
    to painting with colors or cutted pens, but offers you a great palette of
    high-quality effects. This includes, but isn`t limited to: Standards-
    effects like changing of brightness, contrast or gamma. Special-effects
    like light-sources or bumpmapped surfaces, glow- and shadow-effects, waves,
    explosive supernovas, distortions, etc. You`ll also find professional tools
    like Gradtion-curves or matrix operations. This opens up a great number of
    posibilities to create and design pictures. Another special feature is fxPAINT`s
    realtime-mode, that shows changes to the effect-settings immediately after
    they were made. E.g. Light-sources can be dragged over the pictures - in
    realtime and full quality!! fxPAINT basically is similiar to a layer-based
    image processing package, but it isn`t directly equal to it. You can paint
    with effects while the Alpha-Channel (that can have full 24bit-depth) is
    fully used, if active. Painting-mistakes can be fixed easily by the undo
    and redo-function. Of course fxPAINT is not only very usable for changing
    and manipulating images but also for creating them. E.g. fire, fractals,
    screenshots, videodigitizes, etc. can be made directly from within fxPAINT
    by some simple clicks.

    EXTERNAL DEVICES AND MODULES
    The support of scanners and videodigitizers and an open, documented Plugin-API
    will make you feel, that other programs aren`t needed any more. To guarantee
    brilliant printings, optimized routines for the printer.device and TurboPrint
    are available within fxPAINT. fxPAINT keeps the internal multitasking. You can
    work even while scanning!

    INTERNAL MODULES
    Maybe you are one of those (like me, too), that don`t make great efforts to
    sort the graphics on HD in order to keep an overview over them. That`s why
    you might like the inbuilt picture database called fxALBUM. Editing a picture
    is very easy then, as you only have to click on the image and on another button
    in order to have the picture loaded in fxPAINT. If you want to, you can print
    overviews over your pictures as well. For fast conversions between the file
    formats, the module fxCONV is available. It allows you automated conversion of
    several directories and/or files full of pictures into another format easily.
    If you want to create graphics for the WWW and want to make use of so called
    HTML-Imagemaps, fxIMAGEMAP might be your tool, allowing you easy creation of
    ImageMaps within minutes!

    THE GUI-SYSTEM
    fxPAINT has internal BOOPSI-classes of its own, that ideally adapt to the used
    hardware. No matter what hardware is used, the fxPAINT-GUI is full of images,
    what makes fxPAINT more usable and effective. Of course, a bubble-help-system is
    available describing the most important buttons, so you needn`t guess, what this
    or that button might be for. On truecolor-screens, fxPAINT`s GUI is most impressing,
    because it then uses 24bit-gradients, that give it an even more modern and unique
    look. fxPAINT offers you the ability to adapt to your already existing knowledge
    by offering three modes for novices, average users and experts.
