Windows 95 changed everything - Micrografx had the 1st major graphics/image editing package designed for win95, & to be honest I never heard of NeoPaint again as graphics apps seemed to be sprouting right & left. Paint was more usable, then in the 3.1 days came Aldus PhotoStyler competing with Photoshop.
They have a few other graphics apps that look interesting on the site, but I've not used them to the point where I could rate any good or bad.Įarlier, checking the NeoPaint forum the latest entry was about their no longer developed, but still apparently available DOS version - for the most part it doesn't seem to me to have changed all that much as DOS gave way to win 3.1, leading to 95, then 98 & so on.

For free apps the GIMP is always mentioned, but as-is it's a bit difficult & I've had problems in the past running this originally *nix software in Windows - I use the version on my hard drive, including plugins that make it look/act more like PhotoShop. I also got an offer from Ashampoo advertising their Photo Commander 9 for $20 - a week or so ago every app was just $10 - & it too does an awful lot.

If you were going to buy image editing software I got an email this AM from Corel - the *Much* more capable PaintShop Photo Pro X3 is on sale for $30. I grew frustrated when I first opened an image since it wasn't automatically sized to fit the program's window, I couldn't find a button on the toolbar for auto-fit, & I couldn't find a magnifier tool I could right/left click to reduce/enlarge the image's display - for me it was pretty much downhill from there, but as I'm used to working in several other image editors already, your mileage may vary. I've really tried, & personally I can't see any other advantages to using NeoPaint unless you happen to really like the GUI design. NeoPaint was originally designed to work on much lower powered hardware running older versions of Windows, & that's an advantage for anyone running those older systems today. The program's folder itself holds 134 files, 12 folders, & takes up ~6 MB. NeoPaint's Setup.exe includes/installs 25 of these files, all dated 12/1/98, that contribute to the 670 new registry entries recorded.
In the past Windows didn't have built-in support for a lot of image file formats - an image editor or graphics app would include filters to handle these formats, sometimes like NeoPaint installing them to Windows' system folder. Nor does it have any of the cataloging features built-in or included with so many image apps nowadays. For the bad today's GOTD doesn't have any support for Floating Objects &/or Layers, & it lacks any of the auto adjustments that make many image editors fast & easy for more casual users. For the good, NeoPaint does have a working History window, where you can jump back 1 or more undo steps with a single click. This morning in fact I was surprised to see NeoPaint still alive & kicking, still doing things its own way after all these years - IMHO the more you're used to other image editors the more you'll dislike the GUI, though it is none-the-less usable, & some may even like it better than more current designs.
Earlier, checking the NeoPaint forum the latest entry was about their no longer developed, but still apparently available DOS version - for the most part it doesn't seem to me to have changed all that much as DOS gave way to win 3.1, leading to 95, then 98 & so on.
