An advanced 32 bit color paint and image processing program.
ABOUT THIS DEMO:
The demo version of Color It! 2.0 has been disabled to prevent you from using the Print, Save, Save As..., Publish, and Export commands. The demo version will also not be able to transfer images to other programs through the clipboard. (NOTE: The clipboard does work for transfering selections between different images in Color It! itself.)
The program can be launched from either the CD or from your hard drive. When launching the program, make sure that you have at least 1 Megabyte of free space on your hard drive. This space is required by Color It! to create a virtual images folder to store temporary files.
WHAT IS COLOR IT! ?
Color It! is a 32 bit color paint and image enhancement program that gives you all the power and precision you need to create or enhance dramatic images. Color It!'s advanced image processing features enable you to scan your favorite photography or illustrations... then crop, retouch, or alter any part of the image. Erase scratches, blemishes, cluttered or unattractive backgrounds. You can even adjust the brightness and contrast of the image.
With advanced brushes and a palette that supports over 16 million colors you can easily paint stunning original artwork. Support for pressure sensitive tablets allows your brush strokes to mimic traditional painting techniques. Adjustment of brush opacity controls how much paint is applied to your image, a higher opacity applies more paint to the image, while a lower opacity applies a lighter coat of paint (more of the image shows through).
