Media attention
MyPaint was used by David Revoy, the art director of Sintel (the third film project in computer graphics by the Blender Foundation, code-named Project Durian).[4]
Saving files format
The Adobe PSD file format changed its license starting from 2006, and it is now only permitted to develop applications using it in order to interact with Adobe software.[5] As a result, a comprehensive graphics' design format, OpenRaster, was developed based on the Open Document format. MyPaint uses Open Raster as its default format, but also supports saving images to PNG or JPEG.[6]
