Hello GimpChat,

For those who are interested, today the software TwistedBrush Pro Studio 17 is free with the site Gift of the day

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/

Have a nice day

For the lightweight software (just under 45 MB) it is packed with features!

That's what the description says:

TwistedBrush has more than 5,000 brushes, along with all the features that artists love to use: layers, realistic media, photo cloning, tracing, masks, particles, filters, script recording, scripts to AVI, drawing tablet support, brush shapes, patterns, textures, integrated scanner support, image brushes, drawing guides, reference image views, dirty brushes, scratch layer, dynamic palettes and a whole lot more.

I have installed and test-run it going through the menus. It's primarily focused on drawing, but it can work with images too.
That's what is not mentioned but worth mentioning for sure:

CameraRAW support
Adobe filters support
Script play (PS actions analogue?)
Time lapse recording of painting!!!
Blob Surfacer (3D brush modeler) with brush control settings: bristle size, mirror horizontal/vertical, symmetry, etc.
The Solutions menu (interesting features there: Background removal, Borders, Frame-builder, Boxes and Folds, Fake HDRs, Special effects, etc.)
Tutorial mode!
Brush code import/export!

I just scratched the surface.
Of course, 30 minutes isn't enough to check everything out, but what I've seen already is enough to say - it's worth installing.
At the very start brush strokes seemed to be lagging a bit, but as I went on it was just fine.

It's just unbelievable, so many features and artistic presets for such a lightweight application!

Thank you, steeno!
I check GOTD website once a week or so but would have definitely missed this one!

You're welcome.
It's a pleasure to share this kind of information

yes this is a really nice program

and i love the care for the first contact , with the opening also the manual

Be warned- I got the last version from a GOTD, and had to give an email to Pixarra to get a reg code. Since then they spam me regularly, even though I have tried to unsubscribe repeatedly.

If you get it, make sure you use a disposable email address.

the mail and registration were optional, not strictly needed to activate the program
