True Pigment
- Dual component pigment canvas enables accurate color mixing in with both opaque and transparent colors.
- Most flexible color mixing algorithm so far in open source digital painting programs*2
Full pixel dual component pigment canvas works by storing spectral reflectance and transmittance of pigment into Sub-pixels, and when forming the final image, those pixels are combined to generate a physically accurate RGB value for display.
*2: Based on Yiming's WellObserve studio internal testing, 2025
Opaque and transparencies, at the same time.
Use opaque color for impasto, or glazing over with transparencies, any process, any time.
Fresh out of tube, maybe add water too.
Different reflectance behaviour for dense/diluted colors, enjoy the hue shifts as you mix.
Flexible lighting.
Allow different light source and exposure control of the image. Fine tune the look till you are satisfied.
Accurate Color Management
- Entire canvas and interface is color-managed*5*6, with option to choose from sRGB / AdobeRGB 1998 Compatible / D65 P3 color spaces for both monitors and canvas color values*7.
- One click real-time CMYK soft proofing for all supported display and canvas color spaces. Allow user imported CMYK icc/icm color profiles.
- Support reading EDID information from connected monitor and use monitor specified color space.*8
