Product Description:
iChalk is the first Rendezvous-enabled full color chalk board program for OS X. With Rendezvous technology, a group of creative people can set up a shared doodling-board and spill their creativity all over the net.

Not all of us are Leonardo or Vermeer. Yet, there has been a learned argument made about the Masters having used a gadget called Camera Obscura in painting their life-like masterpieces. Discover how we renovated Camera Obscura in iChalk. Learn by tracing the Masters! Or just grab an image from Frame grabber module off your camcoder.

With built-in QuickTime interface, one can archive the history of an on-line doodling session frame by frame. One of the vital techniques in creating a smooth animation is "rotoscope". iChalk features Roto-for-dummies. Use it to create a cute Valentine card for your beloved. With newly added text/caption tool, make your own cartoon series neatly packed into a Quicktime movie. The possibilities are endless now with full color support and adjustable window size, even during shared session.
