Would be nice if the colour picker could lift colours directly out of another program (browser for instance), but I use Color Cop (another excellent freeware) for that, so not a huge issue. It's worth it's weight for that alone, since I normally use Gadwin Printscreen (freeware & excellent) and then import into another program. The screenshot grabber is excellent, with a good selection of features and ways to collect screenshots. Import from scanner/camera is one I value highly - it is not always supported in other programs. It has some features, though not unique, which often require 2 or more programs to achieve. OK, it is simplistic, but then they claim nothing more. Word of warning - after doing the registration, close the program and restart it, or the reg doesn't show. Downloaded and installed on WinXP Sp3 easily. I'm no graphics expert so I need things that work without too much fuss. As an occasional website builder I'm always looking for graphics programs to add to my arsenal with a minimum or no cost. Some positive reviews, but nothing glowing. Thanks for offering this today, thumbs up here! :o) Save | Cancel Thanks for offering this today, thumbs up here! :o) I found it much less daunting than many image editors but it does have many useful features like a clone stamp, dodge/burn, and so on.ĭefinitely a keeper unless there's some major flaw I haven't found yet. Not a replacement for Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever, but I don't think that's where they're aiming. I don't have time to fully test it in serious photo editing, but it looks very good so far. The "Mouse Cam" is a nice touch too, showing a very high magnification of the area immediately under the cursor for precise placement. I'm very impressed with the help, which is well written and clear. The interface is quite intuitive and well made, with clear icons for the main selections, and text that pops up on mouseover. I've only tested this briefly, doodling on a photo rather than serious editing, but so far I'm fairly impressed.
#NEOBOOK 5 REVIEW NEOSOFT INSTALL#
Save | CancelĮasy install and activation, a two step process today but no issues - it's nice to install something that doesn't want to be add dubious background processes and start-up entries. I do appreciate the offer, and for NeoSoft's purpose I hope the feedback you receive here will help you again become the innovative leader you once were. Nostalgia aside, then, I'm going to uninstall. Sort of "the same as everyone else" but minus many things modern users have come to expect. It's just a lack of features - good selection tools, filters, unique brushes, layers, etc. It seems like most people could easily learn it. It might be considered a little dated and a bit difficult to navigate, but I don't really have much issue with it. After all, most of us have multiple image editing applications because one of them adds or does something better over the others. That would be OK if Neopaint perhaps adds a feature they don't have or if it does something much better than they do. Microsoft's, GIMP, and Photofiltre are freebies, and their features far exceed NeoPaint. It feels more like a vintage "paint" program which, as far as I know, few people really use these days. Although the offer a few photo tools, they don't offer many. Unfortunately, they simply haven't kept up. So you can imagine how excited I was to see this on today's GAOTD! Somehow over the years NeoPaint disappeared from my radar. I was somewhat of an evangelist for it back then! It was a trend setter, the best thing available for regular guys. When I later upgraded to Win 3.1, I continued using NeoPaint, and then again a few years later on Win95.

I purchased my first PC in 1989, an old XT computer with DOS 5, 640K of RAM and a 20MB hard drive.
