NeoPaint 5.20

NeoPaint can help you create different kinds of graphics. It includes features that allow retouching photographs, capturing image and designing graphics for the web. Therefore, it can be used for many purposes, including website designing, desktop publishing and making presentations. Probably, its best asset is that it’s very easy to use, even for beginners. However, if you need to explore all the program features, it's good to read the excellent accompanying documentation.

The application is actually very versatile in terms of the kinds of projects supported. For instance, it can help you create elements that you can insert on a webpage or an application you're designing, such as buttons, icons and cursors. Besides, you can use it to design other graphics, as animations and backgrounds. Talking about animations, the tool can help create it very easily, using the old onionskin technique, in which you add changes on top of the previous frame.

This utility supports practically every picture format, including those that allow animation and transparency. But more than just that, it also lets you acquire images from a scanner or grab the whole computer screen or a part of it. I particularly liked the possibility of saving a whole webpage in an image file by simply providing the URL. In fact, this feature worked better than in other applications that do it by scrolling the page in a browser. Once an image has been imported, you can apply many corrections. For example, you may crop a photograph, adjust picture levels or retouch it with many other features.

All in all, NeoPaint is not as sophisticated as some leading products; however, it is a great alternative for those users who want to attain decent results with little effort. In addition, its quite reasonable price may be something to consider as well.
