GMX-PhotoPainter II Released

I’m really pleased today to announce the release 2 of Gertrudis Graphics flagship product: GMX-PhotoPainter.

GMX-PhotoPainter II for PC is completely new development, in fact it was developed from scratch. Since the introduction of GMX-PhotoPainter for Mac, a new series of the product started: GMX-PhotoPainter II for PC and Mac, both versions shares the same common base, which includes internal painting structures, rendering algorithms, and even some parts of the user interface.

Martin Düerr an Artist and my friend helped me a lot with suggestions and beta testing, he was the first to use it, and here are some of his first sketches, which he created with the new freehand tool.

Here is a screenshot about how it looks:

What’s new in GMX-PhotoPainter II

Everything is new in GMX-PhotoPainter II. It has been rebuild again from scratch.

Unified Kernel

With the introducction of GMX-PhotoPainter for Mac, a new series of the product started: GMX-PhotoPainter II for PC and Mac, both shares the same common base: this includes, the internal painting structures, rendering algorithms, and even some parts of the user interface.

So, what’s new?

While the same ideas and concepts remain, every aspect of GMX-PhotoPainter II is new, however here is some key differences:

  • Everything lies in one window: In the previous version the left panel showed the original image, and right one the result.
    Current version shows everything in the same window, but you can mix how much you see of the original image.

  • Draw Freely!: As always, GMX-PhotoPainter II let you convert the original image into a painting by automatically choosing color and direction of the brushstroke for you, now it also add the capability to to paint freely, thus, you can paint stroke by stroke and choose the color manually.

  • New User Interface: The user interface has been completely
    redesigned, it’s simpler and provides an easy access to the most common tools and
    settings.

    • Also To ensure better user experience, the user interface of each version:
    PC & Mac was written using theirs native toolkits.

  • Refined Painting Algorithms: :The algorithms have been
    tunned to render high quality paintings, Bristle Brushes and Paint and Ink now
    include more options
  • Much Faster than before: Because its kernel was written in C++
    optimized for multicore processors, the painting operations respond naturally to
    hand movements.
