That gives it a certain stature and presence for the community that Microsoft Office targets, but also contributes to its anonymity with other users. Ulead has positioned PhotoImpact, a Windows-only application, as a graphics-software utility for Microsoft Office. PhotoImpact 3.01, this has become a reality. Wouldn't it be nice, though, to be able to work in a creative environment with tools dedicated to Web-page design that also contain all of the options expected from a high-end image-processing and graphics application? With the new Web menu that's been added to Ulead Corporation's I believe it is worthwile to paint inside AS and not to import many "posh" textures from outside.Web Techniques: Page Design with PhotoImpactĬD Home < Web Techniques < 1996 < DecemberĪny paint or image-processing software can be used to develop content for a Web page, as long as the output is digestible for both the Web and your browser. I removed the textures and found that the movie was smaller in file size now and looked "cleaner". I am a newbie in AS, so perhaps it was my mistake, but the other day I imported textures into an AS scene - and the file size of the movie became rather big, besides the textures (tapestry on the wall) caused a certain flickering, it was not beautiful any more. Depends of what you want to do, of course. Thus you could, for instance, also use a huge pool of free vector images from the Open Graphic Library (which are all SVG).īut I think, as said before, you can draw as well inside AS. The advantage of GIMP over many other image programs of the medium price sector, which you might be more used to (PhotoImpact, PaintShop Pro), is that GIMP can import SVGs (scalable vector graphics) and convert into other image formats.

) So why not see for yourself, it is free. (Which is true for Photoshop as well, and even for other programs in this field. But I find the learning curve is long, until you can reasonably work with it.

GIMP is powerful (some people compare it to Photoshop) - and free to download. If you want to use a graphics program for drawing/painting outside Anime Studio and importing your creations into AS, then also other software for image editing and/or drawing/painting will do, provided it can handle well transparencies.

You can draw and paint inside Anime Studio.
