Photogenics is a powerful 24-bit image manipulation and paint program for your Amiga computer. It offers many professional features, including the ability to load and save images in many different file formats, apply a variety of powerful image processing effects, and natural media paint tools that allow you to paint on an image as an artist paints on paper.
Photogenics allows you to spray special effects, such as Brightness or Emboss, directly onto your images. Many other packages are limited to applying effects to the whole image - not to selected areas with such versatility and subtlety.
An image might be perfect except for a section that needs sharpening or darkening for example. With Photogenics this operation is simple - just select the desired effect and spray on with the airbrush, draw with pencil or chalk pastel. Photogenics provides many different drawing tools to give your compositions a real life look and feel. If you are unhappy with the result then change the effect or the colour - Photogenics will "redo" your image and you can see your changes immediately. If you have found that you have overdone the painting you can "spray back" to the original image using the right mouse button easily removing the "paint".
An explanation of 24-bit graphics and image processing is given in "An Introduction to 24-Bit Graphics". This is recommended reading for users who are not familiar with computer graphics.
