Photo Workshop will receive a new version and a new edition-Babya Photo
Workshop Extreme. The best feature-Babya Photo Workshop Extreme has a
true layer system (new to the Babya Photo Workshop product line).
Babya Photo Workshop Extreme is just one part of a new breed of Babya
software-the Extreme series, which also consists of:
* Babya bDesign Extreme
* Babya BusinessBooks Extreme (formerly bAccounting)
What is Babya Photo Workshop Extreme and Babya Extreme all about?
It's all new high-end Babya image and photo manipulation software
designed to be used on computers that run Windows 2000, XP, Vista,Mac
OS X (for Intel based Macs with Boot Camp), or Server 2003. It supports
layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful
and powerful tools.
Based on Paint.NET, which started development at Washington State
University as an undergraduate senior design project mentored by
Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that
originally worked on it.
Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software
that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool
for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create
Paint.NET (and Babya Photo Workshop too) is C#.
Babya kindly thanks: Rick Brewster, Chris Crosetto, Tom Jackson,
Michael Kelsey, Brandon Ortiz, Craig Taylor, Chris Trevino, and Luke
Walker. Portions Microsoft Corporation, for making Babya Photo Workshop
Extreme a reality.
"Extreme"-often the meaning of ultimate performance, the best there is,
wickedly better, worth risking life. In Babya graphics design software,
Babya Photo Workshop XL was a masterpiece for a while, the pinnacle of
Babya's award-winning graphic design product line.
Not any longer, times are a'changing at the top of the Babya image
editor family

repeating?
It's all realized with Babya Photo Workshop Extreme X1-the upcoming
new member of the Babya image editor product family
Coming in mid-2006, Babya Photo Workshop Extreme X1 will be part of
Babya Extreme-a new breed of Babya software which is the best you can

What happens to Babya Photo Workshop XL when Babya Photo Workshop
Extreme is officially out? Will it be discontinued-no further updates
or what else?

out there. But as explained above, with Windows Vista and the power
..NET making Babya Photo Workshop Extreme superior in various means,

Some reviews of Paint.NET/Babya Photo Workshop Extreme:
"Paint.NET gives commercial photo editing programs some serious
competition," - DevSource
"Paint.NET looks and feels similar to premium programs like Paint Shop
Pro or Photoshop." - The Kim Komando Show
Babya Photo Workshop Extreme Features:
Simple, intuitive user interface:
Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately
intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. It is also designed
to be immediately familiar to users of the original MS Paint software
that comes with Windows or Babya Photo Workshop.
Layers:
Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software,
layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may
think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed
together at the same time, form one image. One of the most requested
additions is now in Babya Photo Workshop Extreme .
Powerful Tools:
Babya Photo Workshop Extreme includes simple tools for drawing shapes,
including an easy-to-user curve tool for drawing simple splines or
Bezier curves. The facilities for creating and working with selections
is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other
powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar
color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image.
There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor
tool.
Unlimited History:
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To
accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in
the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you
can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by
available disk space.
Special Effects:
Many special effects are included for perfecting your images.
Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, and embossing
are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect (new
for Babya Photo Workshop Extreme) that makes it very easy to add
perspective and tilting.
Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's
brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and levels.
Open Source and Free:
Babya Photo Workshop Extreme is provided free-of-charge, and the source
code is also available for free under generous licensing terms.
So with the layers,Vista and powerful image correction in Babya Photo
Workshop Extreme, you will be starstruck and maybe you'll want to
download the source code for Paint.NET (it's based on that), so you can
create your own take on it.
What will your computer need to have so you can use Babya Photo
Workshop Extreme?
