SimPaint: Deluxe Paint-Style Pixel Art for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and Spectrum Next

A complete paint, pixel-art and animation package for the Amstrad CPC and the ZX Spectrum 128K, +2, +3 and Spectrum Next, heavily inspired by Deluxe Paint on the Amiga.

Choose the version for your machine when you buy. Both share one file format, so a picture made on a CPC opens in SimPaint on a Spectrum, and the other way round.

The Deluxe Paint Way of Working

• A menu bar, a tool strip and single-key shortcuts for every tool - nothing gets in the way of drawing.
• Pick-up brushes - grab any part of your picture and paint with it, with every tool.
• Left button paints the ink, right button the paper.
• Animation frames and colour cycling to bring your pictures to life.

Paint, Animate, Share

• Every tool you need: freehand, line, curve, rectangle, circle, ellipse, polygon, airbrush, fill, text and mirror, with brushes, Clone, a magnifier, zoom and a snap grid.
• Animation: add and copy frames, paint on each one, and play them full screen. Each frame stores only what changed, so small moves leave room for many frames.
• Colour cycling: flowing water, fire and glowing lights, played straight from the palette.
• Undo and redo, several steps back.
• SimPaint files are small, lossless and keep every frame, and open in SimPaint on the other machine too.
• English, Spanish, French or German, help pages included, switchable at any time.
• Keyboard, joystick or mouse.

Amstrad CPC: Every Model, Every Mode

From a 464 with a disc drive to the 6128 Plus with its 4096-colour palette and smooth hardware pointer.

• MODE 0, 1 and 2, with conversion between them, and full-screen overscan pictures that fill the borders too.
• Fill patterns, fonts, flip, rotate, crop and colour effects.
• PC pictures in and out: open BMP and PNG pictures, and export your work as PNG or BMP.
• Opens it all: OCP Art Studio, FreeOCP and ConvImgCpc pictures, Multiface II saves and emulator snapshots.
• Art disc included: 15 example pictures, colour-cycling pictures, 36 brushes, fonts, fill patterns and a picture show that runs on any CPC.

ZX Spectrum: Colour Clash Handled for You

For the 128K, +2, +2A, +3 and Spectrum Next, on the Spectrum's own screen.

• Smart attributes: SimPaint keeps the colours that change the fewest pixels in each 8 x 8 square, and a colours-only brush recolours a drawing without clash.
• Redefine all 16 colours on a Spectrum Next (from 512) or with ULAplus (from 256), with colour cycling.
• Onion skin for animation, and sprite-size pictures for sprites, tiles and icons.
• SCREEN$, snapshots and Next pictures (.SCR, .SNA, .Z80, .NXI, .SL2, .MLT, .IFL) open, with a list of what's on your SD card or +3 disc. A tape works too.

What Your Machine Needs

• Amstrad CPC: any 464, 664, 6128 or 6128 Plus with a disc drive or Gotek. A 64K machine paints in all three modes. 128K (a 6128, a Plus, or 64K more) adds multi-level undo, Curve, Clone, fonts, patterns, animation and colour cycling. A 256K or 512K expansion lets the SimPaint disc come out once your picture is up, and gives animations far more frames. On a 6128 Plus, animation needs expansion RAM.
• ZX Spectrum: a 128K, +2, +2A, +3 or Spectrum Next (not a 48K), loading from the Next's SD card, an esxDOS SD interface (DivMMC, divSD, DivIDE), a +3 disc or Gotek, or tape.
• Mice and joysticks (optional): AMX / Genius or SYMBiFACE II on the CPC; Kempston mouse and Kempston or Sinclair joysticks on the Spectrum.
