v0.5

Coming Soon

Major updates

New physics based dual component pigment canvas as default canvas type. This pigment canvas has such features: Color is computed with canvas reflectivity and light source spectrum. Every pigments has two separate spectrum for reflectance and transmittance, it can achieve all sorts of effects from opaque paints to transparent inks, it can also display the iconic hue/saturation skew effect that are present in many real paints when they are mixed with white/diluted. Multiple modes for displaying the canvas for video hardware that are of different specs. Fully compatible with existing brushes. Allows exporting double-resolution image for smoother feature transition using debayer algorithm, this also shows a very beautiful digital chromatic aberration. New brush properties: "Accumulation" and "Depletion" "Accumulation" option only applies to pigment canvas and is only effective for pigments with transmittance components. "Depletion" option applies to both RGBA canvas and pigment canvas. For brushes that has a non-zero Depletion, in the case of not using nodes, the transparency of the dabs will increase as the color depletes. If nodes are used, then transparency will not be automatically affected. Color picker interface now has a visual "depletion" indicator strip, tapping on this indicator means to "re-ink" your brushes. Compatible to all existing brushes. New Brushes: Oil (Specially tuned for Pigment Canvas) Gouache (Specially tuned for Pigment Canvas) Manga G Nib Improved some existing brushes for also using on pigment canvas Now allows custom loaded CMYK color profile (icm/icc) for soft proofing. Our Paint now comes with two profiles: ISOcoated_v2_300_bas.icc and GenericCMYK.icm. The fixed soft proofing LUT from the last version is no longer provided. Traditional RGBA Canvas now uses non-premultiplied alpha to record color values, this solves the problem for where on mobile devices colors can turn black if your brush dab transparency is too high. Old files are not affected and can still be worked on and saved in the old way. Now undo also supports modifications to tool properties, like undoing edits to brush nodes.

Other improvements

Fixed the issue where there might be black/white/transparent squares on top of exported images. Prevent saving unrecognizable file thumbnails. Rearranged most of the settings interface, now with much better visual hierarchy. Fixed some issues with undo, now it should be very stable. Fixed some interface problems: Should show "New Brush" button when there's no brush in the list. Prevent crashes after moving a layer. Improved UI response for sliders. Also it's possible to tune sliders 10 times slower if holding Shift. Prevent crashes when exiting from tooltips.

Compared to the previous version...

Our Paint now runs on Android! Caution: Our Paint canvas on android only supports 8bit/channel (as opposed to 16 on desktop). Files saved by desktop and android version of Our Paint are compatible with each other. Our Paint will down-convert colors to 8 bit when reading files on android, which reduces precision, keep this in mind when you plan to share files between desktop and android. Our Paint now has an official icon :D CMYK soft proofing is now supported, you can preview out-of-gamut colors for printing on screen. At the moment a modified color matrix based on SWOP_V2 is used. Users would also be allowed to import icc profiles for soft proofing in the future. Added a feature for adjusting brush size continuously. New "Toolbox" feature. Users could put frequently used button in custom toolboxes for quick access. Modified interface theme structure. Now more properties can be adjusted. Fixed the problem where file dialog could not be displayed again. Fixed the issue where pixel values could overflow when exporting an image. Re-written some parts of the interface event handling, this eliminates the occasional hang on the UI. General stability improvements of the interface.
