Graphic Designer 0.1e (pre-alpha demo)
Graphic Designer is neither a painting program nor a desktop publishing or presentation application, but uses individual approaches from these by enabling the design of images by combining elements in currently up to twelve layers, which can then be saved as an IFF image file (or updatable project).
These permanently freely placeable elements can be images, brushes, text or image overlays and brush stamps. However, all image elements must already use the same palette; an automatic adjustment is not planned.
