Writing my own software; new to this site

[tinrocket]

Hello, everyone, I just found RetouchPro tonight, via flicker, and I'm very excited: I'm going to spend hours looking through the forums, and I'm looking forward to trying the challenges!

I have been writing my own Photo -> Paint software for the past 3 years; results have been uploaded to my own site, as well as Flicker. My software does all the image processing and painting -- there are no manual brush strokes required. Many of the posts have bits of info about the software; I post images as I'm developing it.

I'm still trying figure out how the forums are organized, but wanted to share some of my recent work, so here are some Flickr links:

Hi, Tinrocket! Welcome to RetouchPro! Explore and Enjoy!

The astronaut sample is great! Keep us posted on your progress. BTW, I hope you are developing your software for the Mac. :-)

Thanks!

Yes, the software is being written on a Mac (the paint engine used to use CoreGraphics) but is now cross-platform (paint engine re-written in OpenGL).

Looks very interesting and impressive. Is there any beta/demo binary (for windows) to download?

[tinrocket]

secretagents: I don't have plans to release anything yet, I am still weighing that decision.
