PhotoCraft RTG 1.0 RC2
========================
A layered image editor for AmigaOS 3.x with RTG graphics, with a dark workspace in the style
of modern Photoshop. Every image operation (layers, painting, selections, adjustments,
filters, undo, PSD/ORA/IFF/PNG/JPEG files) is done by the native PhotoCraft C engine in
photocraft.hwp, next to the program.
This is release candidate 2 (1.0 RC2). It follows 1.0 RC1 and Previews 0.6 and 0.7 and has
their features (layer masks, layer groups and clipping, adjustment layers, Photoshop data kept
on saving, Lab and 32-bit Photoshop files, GIMP XCF opening, palettes kept), plus P23's fixes
and checks (see Docs/History). The Installer suggests the same drawer as for 1.0 RC1: choose
another drawer to keep both.
PhotoCraft RTG 1.1 (the C program with the classic Amiga interface) is a separate, stable
program; this archive does not replace or change it.

Countless hours of development, testing, debugging and fine-tuning have gone into making
PhotoCraft RTG run smoothly on classic 68k Amigas. Built almost entirely in C, this project
is a labour of love, driven by my passion for the Amiga and the amazing community that keeps
it alive.
If you enjoy PhotoCraft RTG and would like to support its continued development, feel free
to buy me a coffee or a beer. Every little bit is appreciated!
