- A FEW INTERESTING (AND NOT SO...) FACTS ABOUT RAINBOW 1.2:
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- RAINBOW was first published in December 1993 (v 0.5), which makes it the
- first "Falcon only" paint program ever. Version 1.0 was released in Mars
- 1994, v 1.1 was released in June 1994 and v 1.2 was released in
- September 1994.
-
- RAINBOW is the only art package where you can change screen resolution,
- monitor type, vertical frequency and overscan from within the program
- without losing any work.
-
- RAINBOW offers a unique quickchoice palette which gives you immediate
- access to more colours than any other program is capable of. And it
- only takes one mouse click to change all colours in the palette.
-
- Another feature you won't find anywhere else is the possibility to
- rearrange the user interface completely, at any time without damaging
- your work.
-
- RAINBOW comes with a built-in photo studio, and there will be a whole
- bunch of additional built-in studios in the next version.
- Needless to say, you may switch between the studios without data loss.
-
- You can choose between eight tool types in the picture studio, but since
- each one of them has an individual set of modes and effects the actual
- number of tools reaches well over 100.
-
- RAINBOW supports the Tabby graphics tablet (our built-in driver uses
- less than 1/50 of the memory that the original driver uses), and you
- don't need the original supplied driver at all.
-
- There are as much as 48 different levels of magnification (1x-48x),
- that work with all tools and operations still available.
-
- RAINBOW is programmed entirely in assembly language, which makes it
- fast and reliable.
-
- And speaking of fast... we compared our picture loading with a Falcon
- compatible, GEM based, paint program that works (at least for a few
- minutes...) when run from a true colour desktop. We won't reveal its
- name though... Anyway, here's the results:
- Uncompressed Targa: RAINBOW 5 times as fast as the other program.
- Compressed TIFF: RAINBOW twice as fast as the other program.
- Uncompressed TIFF: RAINBOW 4 times as fast as the other program.
-
-
- RAINBOW 1.2 is a very powerful art package that offers you quite a lot
- in terms of user friendliness, speed, flexibility, value for money etc,
- but our intention is to make this program even better.
