Graphic Designer 0.6k (beta demo 1)
In mid-July, we reported on an early version of Graphic Designer: a graphics programme that allows users to design images by combining elements in up to twelve layers, which can then be saved as IFF image files (or ongoing projects).
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. The first beta version is now available, featuring the following changes compared to the alpha version:
- Palette Editor added.
