- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46Anti-aliasing!? Pfft. Lack of AA is what makes MS Paint drawings so awesome.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+48Cool, but incredibly pointless.
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35This is a phenomenal proof of concept!
I thought it was flash at first until I read the blurb - this is really well done! - OmegaNine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31I think the best part of the site was at the end of the help on the side...
"Dear Microsoft,
Please don't sue me.
Thnx" - iLEZ, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30And why was that?
Or did it perhaps _ASK_ you why you where running such an old browser? - davidleeroth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25I'll digg it when I see Photoshop in my browser ;p
- pyrator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20How the hell is experimentation such as this pointless?
"Why didn't you do this in ___?
The goal wasn't to build a painting web app, but to experiment with . "
Someday web based apps like this have a good chance of being prevalent and the developer of this should get kudos for taking time out to show it can be done. - grooviekenn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Wow...
I can do just as much with the online version as the one that came with windows...
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !! lol - h2d2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Pretty Cool. Except for the fact it seems kind of ironic that you would copy an MS software interface and then not make your app compatible wih their browser... not to mention the number of people still using IE.
- Cglass, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Clearly, you haven't seen the car drawing video...
- culbeda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8/eagerly awaiting CALC.EXE in a browser!
- stupidbrowner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Firefox 2.0 was released 6 days after Internet Exploder 7 therefore Firefox is newer.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Yeah, part of the challenge to manually add the anti aliasing by hand..
- Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The reason being that Internet Explorer doesn't support modern technologies like CSS (partially), SVG, namely <canvas>.
- JoshHendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I can see it now: Google Paint™.
- dojonz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Amazing! - No longer will Mac users have to suffer in silence!
- Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The point isn't to create an online image editor, it's to experiment with CSS, XHTML (<canvas&rt;) and JavaScript.
It's really amazing. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7***** antialiasing. Pixel art FTW!
- evilspoons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Nice, it's actually better than the "real thing" thanks to anti-aliasing. Anyone who's still using Paint should be smacked and pointed to Paint.NET, the GIMP, or ANYTHING else...
- redandgold, on 10/12/2007, -16/+21my school has ie and the site told me why i was running such and old browser
lol - noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's not grayed out, it's just full of gray paint.
- dextermanas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Pretty fast and neat looking, but the flood fill tool doesn't work.
For serious editing though, try these online image editors:
http://www.myimager.com/ (Script based, decent set of filters)
http://www.imageeditor.net/ (SWF based, small, fast, basic filters)
http://www.gifworks.com/ (Animated GIF / Effects / lots of filters)
http://www.izhuk.com/painter/ (Java based, basic, suprisingly fast)
http://www.imageauthor.com/ (Java based, advanced) - Koray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No getPixel() support.
- shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -0/+4so much better than photoshop!!!!
- cruffenach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How can anyone call this pointless. The OS is moving online is this is just the start, and I give props to whoever went out and did this. Web 2.0 is happening, an applications like this running in the browser are great signs of things to come.
- deathw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7i digged this bc people who create such "pointless" software isn't pointless, i give a lot of credit to the people who made this and i give credit to all the other people out there who work hard to bring us fun and free stuff as like this post.
- M2Ys4U, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4(Beta)
- c3oorg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4And it'd run so much faster in assembler!1!11
- Jaymoon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7What's with the link when you go to exit? http://c3o.org/
What a jerk. - Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3SVG is just amazing technology and has so much potential in web applications.
Unfortunately this potential won't be realised for another good couple of years because IE won't support it like Firefox does. - tensvb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Opera has a pretty cool drawing widget:
http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4647 - thomasjordan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4He mentions in his notes to the side, that the goal was not to create a paint app, but more to test what was capable with the element.
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Because it was a proof of concept, and Paint was probably *slightly* easier to copy than the latest version of Photoshop.
- jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Internet Explorer 8 duh...
- willcode4beer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3and if you look at the javascript he used, its amazing clean and well written
- HitLines, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@Shadowtechnique & @kingfoot
10x magnification / zoom is done by click the red line under 8x.
http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/2669/paintclickhere3de.png - tensvb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Actually, it works in Opera.
- ShadowPt2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/svgviewer/win/3.x/3.03/en/SVGView.exe
Here's Adobe's page for it:
http://www.adobe.com/svg/overview.html
For some reason, they're discontinuing it in 2008 but you should be good to go for now. - deathw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I digged this because people who create such "pointless" software isn't pointless, I give a lot of credit to the people who made this and I give a lot of credit to all the other people out there who work hard to bring us fun and free stuff as like this CanvasPaint. Keep up the great work everyone who creates either useful or pointless software, because if it wasn’t for you people, there wouldn’t be everything everybody needed to some extent! Thank you!!
- c3oorg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here's the coolest picture that was saved to the server so far: http://canvaspaint.org/61b.png
- kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3its missing x10 zoom easter egg thats in the real mspaint. otherwise, nice!
- Shadowtechnique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@kingfoot: how do you get that easter egg? never heard of that one.
- Cglass, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Whoever dugg you down is a moron who didn't see this awesome video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCNkbS3FczE - 5hinmyoken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ok. why? oekaki bbs works smoother.
- ShadowPt2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The reason Internet Explorer doesn't support this is because they still don't support the < canvas > tag, whereas Firefox and Opera do.
However, you can download a plugin from Adobe to add support for the < canvas > tag in IE. - Karmalary, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2An almost perfect re-creation of imperfection. dugg!
- joshjoneswas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hmm. I dont have a red line under the 8x on my paint. searching more on the web for this neat little easter egg thing...
- c3oorg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2SVG, which that Adobe plugin is for, is different from canvas. SVG is vector graphics in XML, while canvas is just a simple bitmap drawing API.
There is a Google project called "CanvasIE" which tries to implement canvas using IE's proprietary VML language, but the performance of that hack is way too bad for something like the airbrush tool to work properly -- as you can see, it barely even performs well enough in native implementations.
I believe there's even a Java applet implementation of the API somewhere out there.. but let's not go there... :-P - bobmagoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4its gonna look trippy when some one submits a video of them making a realistic picture of a sports car using this, internet picture in a picture
- jaybones1515, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you can save in firefox 2.0, numbnuts. You need to go to file>download then right click to save image.
