   This is NOT a shiny new release, but I didn't get around to posting it on to
AmiNet until tonight. A new release V1.50 is in the works, and should appear this
spring at the new not-quite-updated web-site as listed below...

   Happy New Year! - N :o)

                                                     Copenhagen - July. 2001

    DiamondBOX is a 24 bit layer based Photo Retouching editor inspired by photogenics.

    It's done in C++ as a way of solving a practical problem while at the same time
familiarizing myself with the OO approach.

  * A little feature list
====================================================================================

  - Always find the newest public release of DiamondBOX and other info at:

                           http://diamondbox.webpunkt.dk
                           =============================

  - Fully multithreaded.

  - Internal representation of images always 32-bit.

  - Add as many layers as you want (and have RAM for).

  - Change Layer-Effects on the fly and watch the changes right before your very eyes.

  - Draw with Air Brush, Text, Lines, Rectangles, Ellipses or even lightnings.

  - Apply textures to Effects for compositions or strange Alpha Channels.

  - Create your own brushes.

  - Print using the TurboPrint saver.

  - Save your picture as a C-source 24-bit bitmap.

  - Different Generators to create fractal skies or maybe just plain pieces of paper.

  - Loads and saves IFF-ILBM / IFF-DEEP / JPEG / PNG.

  - Expandable - write your own Pebbles (Savers / Loaders / Effects...)

  - Change all Toolbar buttons with DiamondBOX itself.


  * Need to have/know:
====================================================================================

  - OS3.0+

  - CGFX 2+ - (Picasso96 works for me)

  - 68020+

  - 8+ Mb RAM

  - Make sure you have a GFX board, and run DiamondBOX on a 16+ bit public screen.
    Default is Workbench. Set name of PubScreen in icon.

  - DiamondBOX eats loads of RAM - the more you have the better!!

  - Install by dearchiving into any Drawer of your choice.

  - Please read thru the tutorial in the guide!!! This is not DPaint :o)
