Just a noter
geoPaint and GEOS are Trademarks of Berkeley Softworks
anyways...
with geoPaint, I figured out how to use the colors option. The button
above the undo button. The Paint colour is the colour of the paint you
are going to use. I suggest you don't select this until you havepainted
your picture. The Canvas colour is the one you have to pay attention
to. This is the colour of the canvas you are going to paint. In an 8x8
I square I believe that is what geoPaint uses, you can have 2 colours.
the "canvas" and the "Paint" colours. so if you were to do a mountain:
*
***
*****
--*-*--
---------
-----------
the spaces are say purple
the - are black and
the * are white
what you do is change the canvas to purple, then paint your outline,
then go back to colour, and select a white canvas, and paintost of the
interior white (canvas). with the line utilite, block off part of the
section you want white, and fill it. now the parts you have change to
white, that are "overlapping" the line you have made, change it to
purple again, and you will have a oerfect, purple and white.
Do the same with black, but when you have got the white and the black
mixing to make "blotches", what you do is you change the canvas to
white, and a neutral paint, and it will fix it up for you. I may make a
help file, using real pictures, from geoPaint to help people with this.
I wish i could upload and distributer this picture. It is amazing.
1 other point, Berkeley Softworks used this method to draw that Crab or
Lobster picture.
Have fun with GeoPaint, once you get the hang of it, you'll love it!
especially if you have a colour printer, like I do!

Joe Buckley, ace Geos programmer, has produced the long
awaited Geos -to-> Mac Format converer. This program,
<MacAttack II> transfers files to/from both formats. It is
something I have waited for for a long time. It is available on
Quantumlink (I assume it will propagate elsewhere, that is
just where I got it).
This is highly recommended, and gives Geos pixel smiths a great way
to get to the outside world. My Sun Workstation at work suddenly has
a whole bunch of new graphics ....
