Desktop Paint is a bitmapped paint program designed
especially for use by people who run desktop publishing
software such as Ventura Publisher, PageMaker, Publish It and
so on. It will prove equally useful to users of high end word
processors, such as WordPerfect.
Desktop Paint will allow you to quickly create and modify
bitmapped graphics, either for use as stand alone pictures or
for inclusion in other documents. It features a wide variety
of file formats, a powerful selection of drawing tools, an
easy to operate user interface and lots of room for
customization.
Desktop Paint supports the following image file formats:
- MacPaint MAC (and PSF MAC files)
- Ventura IMG
- PC Paintbrush PCX
- TIFF
- WordPerfect WPG
Note that Desktop Paint will only create and work with
monochrome files. Note also that it will only work with WPG
files which contain bitmapped images. Desktop Paint is a
paint program, rather than a drawing program. It does not
support GEM, Corel Draw, Designer, DXF or EPS files.
Unlike many other paint programs, Desktop Paint features
complete XMS and EMS support. It will handle enormous
images... pictures which unpack into several megabytes... if
you have sufficient extended or expanded memory in your
system.
Desktop Paint requires a Microsoft compatible mouse and
driver and one of the following display adapters:
- Hercules - EGA - VGA
You can run Desktop Paint on any PC, even really old 8088
based systems. It will prove a bit slow on very low end
systems. If you are running it on a slower machine it will be
a bit snappier if you use a Hercules compatible monochrome
graphics card rather than an EGA or VGA card. Most EGA and
VGA compatible cards have Hercules emulation modes.
You can run Desktop Paint in as little as 384 kilobytes of
memory, although this will severely restrict the size of the
pictures it will manage. A full 640 kilobytes is preferable,
and two megabytes of XMS or EMS is desirable if you plan to
work with large pictures.
If you wish to use Desktop Paint with graphics files in
formats other than those it currently supports, we recommend
that you get a copy of Graphic Workshop, which will convert
among virtually all of the popular image file formats. See
the end of this file for more information about Graphic
Workshop.
