Description:
PocketPicture allows you to turn your pocket PC into canvas and easel and be creative everywhere.
It is useful to draw small icons as well as painting or editing rather big images (scrolling and zooming is supported).
Features:
- Pencil & brushes of different width.
- Air brush.
- Gas brush (with blurred edges).
- Blur brush (watering).
- Semitransparent brush (to add tint to existing pixels).
- Selection copying, moving, resizing, cropping, rotating and flipping.
- Lines, ellipsis, rectangles.
- Flood fill with customizable tolerance.
- Undo / redo.
- Zoom in / zoom out.
- Select color from palette, from picture (with pipette), by RGB numbers or with Hue-Saturation-Value control (HSV seems to work only on WM 5.0).
Update Description:
v2.2:
- Allow zoom less than 100%.
- Advanced Open/Save dialog (there is option to go back to standart WindowsMobile dialog).
- Redo (there is option to turn it off).
- Select all.
- New option: "Reorder tabs on clicks" - you can now turn it off.
- Show Hue-Saturation-Value controls in RGV color dialog if "HSV instead of palette" option is on.
- New option: "Select previous tool after using color selection tool" - you can now turn it off.
- New option: "When selecting area make pixels with current color transparent" - you can now turn it off, this option is also shown on selection tool panel ("Transparent" button) for quick access.
- If no area selected then copy to clipboard, rotate and flip actions operates on the whole image.

- Other small enhancements.
v2.1:

- Support for zero undo stack depth (if set in options).
- Paste command now inserts selection in upper-left corner of current scrolled view.
- Air brush density and semitransparent brush transparency can be adjusted in options dialog.
- Version with lower-quality icons (changes visible only on VGA, but require less space).
- Pack sources in source archive so that they can be built without additional work

Proper VGA program with good range of tools, multiple levels of undo, and easy to use menus without much screen clutter. Downside is I had to install 5MB of .net2 files too. On my 64MB machine it keeps running out of memory editing a 1600x1000 image. Biggest I can do is 1200x800 with two levels of undo. In comparison UltraG hardly breaks sweat editing a 2500x1500 image (but only has one drawing tool and no undo), whilst VSpainter only does 320x240 and has rather cluttered interface, and WinPaintCE has crippled functionality and no fit-to-screen for working on big images. So on balance PocketPicture is my new favourite painting program. A pity that heavy memory usage precludes editing out-of-camera images with it too.

Installs; Would not run. Looks cool, though.

Great program! Use it a lot on my Pocket PC for sprite editing. I use .Png's a lot, also, and was happy to find it supports them, too!

Nice start to a program that looks like it'll become a must-have. It already does a number of things that PhatPad does (and a few that it doesn't). Bonus points for VGA support. Would like to see more drawing tools (arrows, flowchart items, basic callouts, etc) but already it's nearly the same quality of several other commercial note / drawing apps on the market. Download it.

This is a really good little drawing program. v2.1 tested - see the site given above. Simple to learn and use. It did crash out when working with a 350k jpeg (3M pixel). I suppose could be a true memory shortage (only 16M left) as it indicated. So currently better for sketching or scaled down photos but lots of development going on with it. Will be keeping it and checking for updates.

At first glance a very good program. With the addition of mirror and rotate facilities it would be excellent. It even supports saving as jpeg and a couple of other formats as well as the standard bitmap. However this is where the major flaw lies: images saved using this program blur!!
