Image editor: PyDPainter 2.2.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux (update)
The image editor PyDPainter is inspired by DPaint and according to its author Mark Riale an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame that can handle low resolutions and limited colour palettes and which can be as easy to use as possible (amiga-news.de reported). Version 2.2.0 introduces Brush Trails for brush rotation and scaling (video) and offers an improved macOS support, clipboard paste in text tool and and tutorials. Changes:
- Brush Trails (formerly "Spacing"): The "Spacing" requestor has been renamed to Brush Trails. It is a rethinking of DPaint III Move requestor which allows you rotate and scale brushes along a path along with "ease-in/out" options.
- Brush Rotation and Scaling: You now rotate brushes with the 9 and 0 keys along with the - and = (or +) keys that scale while you are painting. Also, the mouse wheel now scales built-in brushes when used on the toolbar.
- Brush Type/Size Indicator: A new on-screen indicator helps you visualize your current brush type, rotation, and size.
- Native File Dialogs: A new Prefs option allows you to use the OS file dialogs.
- Signed Windows EXE: The Windows executable is now signed so that antivirus programs don't delete it.
- Improved Mac Support: Added a native Mac ARM binary .app for download. The Command key also works like CTRL for menu shortcuts and the menus have the Command symbol in them as well.
- Clipboard Paste Support: You can now paste text directly into the text tool.
- Click Menus: In addition to the click/release menu mode, they also work in a click/click mode to make it easier to use with laptops.
- Increased Undo Levels: Increased undo levels from 20 to 256
- Comprehensive Documentation Updates: New Brush Trails documentation and tutorials. Added Screen Format details as well.
Update: (18.06.2025, 21:32, dr)
Now Linux users can also install PyDPainter using Flatpak. (dr)
