Deluxe Paint, often referred to as DPaint, is a bitmap graphics editor created by Dan Silva for Electronic Arts and published for the then-new Amiga 1000 in November 1985. A series of updated versions followed, some of which were ported to other platforms.


Deluxe Paint III appeared in 1988 and added support for Extra Halfbrite. New editing modes allowed one to stencil certain colors, and perform blurs on the stencils to produce an effect that could be made to look similar to light-sourcing in a 3D program. Deluxe Paint III added the ability to create cel-like animation, and animbrushes. These let the user pick up a section of an animation as an "animbrush", which can then be placed onto the canvas while it animates. Deluxe Paint III was one of the first paint programs to support animbrushes. This is similar to copy and paste, except one can pick up more than one image.


Deluxe Paint IV was introduced in 1991 and offers significant new features like non-bitplane-indexed Hold-and-Modify support.


I am offering versions III & IV with the manual for III, all unboxed, although I will obviously box it and pack it safely for postage.


The manual is in good condition with mild handling and mild edge wear, but tight and clean with no marks.


The software is untested recently, the disks have been in a lockable software case, within a watertight box in the loft for many years. So bid accordingly, no returns, I take no responsibility if it doesn't work - or if some idiot has written over the original programmes!  Having said that, I'm 99.9% sure the programmes are on the disks, I have a ridiculous amount of spare disks that I used to write stuff on to.


Please see photos for further information on condition and contents. What you see in the photos is what you will get.
