Is there a native 24-bit paint program available for OS 4.1 FE U1? AmiCygnus GIMP is a very good program, but AmiCygnus can not display more than 16 bits.

This is what I use:
24 bit, native - SketchBlock (AmiStore, OS4Depot)
24 bit, 68k, but works - ImageFX
24 bit, semi native (WarpOS) - FXPaint

And there is the ArtEffect which is 24 bit too, but I have not used that before.

@thinkchip

There is Sketchblock.

@thinkchip

TvPaint - not native, but fast, powerful and free.

@thread

I should mention that I hardly ever draw, except for touching up photos. I mostly process images, resize, crop, etc. I mostly use Photoshop Elements, which is a stripped down version of Photoshop. I'm wondering if there is a comparable 24-bit native AmigaNG program.

Image FX works in OS4.1 FE U1.

SketchBlock is not 24bit, rather its HDR and effectively 96 bit.... (really 32bit floating point per colour channel) ofcourse you can downgrade when exporting

Yes Image FX latest version does work with OS4.1, but its apparently impossible to buy it any more. Aeon/Amikit owns it now but doesn't sell the existing OS3 version.

I'd love to be able to produce HDR photos from multiple exposures on my Amiga. Are there any plans to add this feature to Sketchblock?

@Rob

In principle you can do that now, assuming you import each photo as seperate layer and merge them, but the work flow is probably not what you might be used to in another application.

Memory considerations do become a problem though.

Also alot of what people refer to HDR photos is actuall the "compressed" 24 bit output. Compressed in the colour domain that is. I've yet to have time to learn enough about that sort of filter to understand how to implmentent it, but it's on the todo list.

I did try doing composites in Photogenics some years ago but was unable to achieve satisfactory results but maybe I should try some experimenting in Sketchblock.

If you don't need to do it manually on every single photo, this does batch processing: iBatch
