Copenhagen - December 11. 2000
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 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.
* A little feature list
====================================================================================
- Fully multithreaded.
- Internal representation of images always 32-bit.
- Add as many layers as you want (and have RAM for).
- Change Layer-Effects on the fly and watch the changes right before your very eyes.
- Draw with Air Brush, Text, Lines, Rectangles, Ellipses or even lightnings.
- Apply textures to Effects for compositions or strange Alpha Channels.
- Create your own brushes.
- Print using the TurboPrint saver.
- Save your picture as a C-source 24-bit bitmap.
- Different Generators to create sky images or maybe just plain pieces of paper.
- Loads IFF / JPEG / PNG.
- Expandable - write your own Pebbles (Savers / Loaders / Effects...)
- Change all Toolbar buttons with IconEd (Much needed :o).
* Need to have/know:
====================================================================================
- OS3.0+
- CGFX 2+
- 68020+
- 8+ Mb RAM
- Make sure you have a GFX board, and run DiamondBOX on a 16+ bit public screen.
Default is Workbench. Set name of PubScreen in icon.
- DiamondBOX eats loads of RAM - the more you have the better!!
- Install by dearchiving into any Drawer of your choice.
- Please read thru the tutorial in the guide!!! Learning curve a little steap.
