Features

Listed from the back of the box.

• Complete selection of painting tools — Draw any shape you want, any way you want.
• Turn any image into a brush. You can rotate, flip, shear, resize, smear, and shade it.
• 7 levels of magnification — Paint in magnified mode if you want. Use variable zoom for detailed editing at the pixel level.
• 3-D perspective — Move and rotate images in full 3-D, automatically.
• Use color cycling and gradient fills to create great special effects.
