This is a bounty for completing the OpenAmiga 32Bit icon editor project.

Implement a new 32Bit (24Bit+8bit alpha) capable icon editor that has the same overall functionality as the OS4.1 built in icon editor but with 32Bit capability.

Load any type of icon images using icon library.
Always storing icons as 32bit OS4 icons.
Editing both normal and selected image
- view for editing the alpha map as a greyscale 8 bit image in the gui
- 32 bit view where you can both paint using different tools as well as decrease/increase transparency for individual pixels.
- 24Bit view for editing the 24bit color map without the alpha map showing
- Apply selected image effects like: Darken, Transparency, Color tinting
- Loading images using datatypes to use as the icon images
- The source and any related resources must be uploaded to the OpenAmiga SVN using the OpenAmiga guidelines.

Brush support with basic horizontal, vertical and 90? rotate. Multiple undo/redo Gradient support Text support datatype Import & jpg, png & gif export so it could also be used as a basic editor for web/game gfx.

If the user want more advanced features he's better off buying/downloading a complete paint program anyway. The developer(s) is of course free to do anything he wants, but this project is simply about creating something simple that hyperion can ship with the OS. Ie, enough for a user to tinker around with without having to buy some paint package just to change one of his/her os4 icons. It's not meant as a complete dpaint/gimp/photoshop/photogenics replacement.

Comments: 1172	Re: New bounty: 32Bit icon editor @orgin Agreed it's a bitmap editor not a paint program but I would call the first two (brushes and multiple undo) very basic tools of any graphic editor and the last two as just being very useful for creating icons. That's one reason I didn't suggest things like auto shadow creation with controlled light source
