![]() 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. 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. 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.
