I can now think of these:
– Support for as many graphics cards as you can find, Retina, Picasso,
IV24, EGS, etc… by using video drivers (it CAN be done, look at Emplant
MacII emulation…)
– Advanced drawing tools such as airbrush, and simulation of other
materials, watercolours, pencils… (look at Fractal Painter)
– Virtual 24 bit handling for AGA systems, like Adobe Photoshop,
everything, regardless of screen mode, is managed in 24 bits
– AN AREXX PORT!!! PLEEEEEASE!!!
– Different format loaders & savers (JPEG, GIF, TIFF…) or at least
support for 3.0 datatypes (they area a GREAT idea and easy to implement)
– Support for different anim types (Anim5, Anim7, Anim8 with byte, word
or long compression types) and eventually CDXL, FLI/FLC…
– Make it a little more OS-friendly, use standard Intuition screens, so
it can be mode-promoted and RTG'd
– Some 3D more advanced than the actual perspective controls
– Filters, contrast/luma/chroma balancing…
– Alpha channel support
… and all this in just 10 minutes of thinking! 😎
They are not in any order, some of them are just dreams (or not?) but
there are some needed ones.
Please tell us MORE about the next DPaint (V?)
