- DiamondBOX is a 24 bit layer based Photo Retouching editor. It's inspired by
- photogenics, and I started working on it after finally giving up hopes of ever seeing
- new releases of PGS. Yes, I have noticed PGS4... DiamondBOX has been in development
- for four years. I Guess I should've called it "DiamondBOX 2000", but then everybody
- would think it was for PC's :o)
-
- It's not at all the most intuitive system in the world, but it does what I want
- it to, and runs w/out any Enforcer hits on my own system. It's done in C++ as a way
- of solving a practical problem while at the same time familiarizing myself with the
- OO approach. If you want the plugin API, drop me a line, and let's see what happens.
-
