(PRWEB) December 28, 2004 -- TwistedBrush the digital painting software by Pixarra now has full support for layers. Layers allow for advanced composition of components of artwork or photos. Editing these components becomes possible in new ways with layers even after the artwork has been complete. How the layers of graphic data is blended together into a single image that is seen is selectable. A wide range of blending modes are available, these include, multiply, screen, darken, lighten, difference, negation, exclusion, overlay, hard light, soft light, dodge, burn, reflect, glow, add, subtract and more.

Pixarra's TwistedBrush is known for its easy to use real artist tools. TwistedBrush is currently at version 5.2 and includes hundreds of brushes that mimic real artist media, over 50 new filters, extensive on-line tutorials and almost 200 brush effects. TwistedBrush since it's inception has included traditional artist tools, such as oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, airbrushes, pencils, charcoal, pens, chalk, markers and oil pastels. Under the covers is a high performance 64 bit brush engine that achieves smooth blends and responsive brush strokes. In addition to the above features and variety of brushes, traditional style masks, paper textures, scripting, tracing paper, photo cloning and gradients are some of the other features present.

Pixarra was founded with the idea of giving high quality software tools to the artist that are easy and fun to use. Over the years artist software has become more and more complex and has lost much of the creative freedom of laying color down on the paper or canvas. It is our goal to offer tools that give artists the tools to capture ideas quickly without spending hours or days studying a reference manual. Stated another way our motto is "Simplicity Without Sacrifice". TwistedBrush is our flagship product that delivers on this idea.
