Thank you for being here and supporting Swanky Paint all these years! When we first started developing, we didn't know it was going to grow to become the software that it is now. This was more a tiny experiment and tribute to the fantastic Deluxe Paint. Swanky Paint will remain t
We’re almost there! The official release of Alpha +11 is tomorrow! This will be the last video in the series before the launch but we’ve had so much fun doing them, we might peep in new updates with more ‘How to’ videos so watch out for those. By the way, if you ever want us to d
IMAGE RESIZE is a new feature that will enhance the way you organise your workspace. Trim off excess space easily by cropping your current image or increase your canvas to accommodate more assets. Using the 'Anchor', you can specify from where your image is resized or cropped. Th
The new Wrap Mode feature allows tile previewing which is useful for textures and things that need to be repeated when used as backdrops and background assets. As game artists, an obviously repeated pattern is an eyesore, especially at small samples. This should make it easier to
