New image editing software

There was an app called Live Picture (I think) that worked on proxy images. Back in the 90s when no one had the horsepower to work on even medium sized digital files. I never saw that program in action.

I like the slickness of the interface in the video ... how the curves pallette can be resized by dragging it. Would be cool if it showed a histogram in the background, or at least clipping points.

Does it work with layers?

Paul, I never used Live Picture either, but remember that it had an impressively large price tag when it first came out.

A histogram is on its way to the Curves interface—one of my many to-dos.

Layers probably won't happen, at least in 1.0. I'm trying to keep the scope of the product as focused as possible. As soon as you're layering multiple images, the complexity jumps exponentially...
