Rainbow Painter 3.2.0

Rainbow Painter is aimed at professionals and amateurs alike; it includes a number of exciting features and technologies.
It supports 32-bit float/channel HDR, which permits adjustments to be made back and forth without losing quality.
There is also a revolutionary new pattern editing mode, which puts the old technique of using a so called \"Offset Filter\" to achieve seamless tiles to shame.
When switching on the repeat function in Rainbow Painter (horizontally, vertically or both), not only will the image be displayed repeatedly, but all effects support this mode and brush strokes will continue over the edges when drawing.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.2.0:
- [Improvement] The user interface has received a major overhaul.
- [Improvement] The panels have been divided into three sections, all of which are now retractable! When retracting a panel section, the free space will be taken up by the picture editor/viewer.
- [Improvement] When the mouse pointer is over the picture, the \'zoomer\' panel now temporarily increases in size by borrowing space from the adjacent panels.
- [New Feature] A new menu bar panel has been added, with familiar menus such as File, Edit, View etc. In most of the menus you will find some quick actions, like \'Contrast 125%\' and \'Export As HQ Jpeg\', in addition to the normal actions that often open a window with settings (e.g. \'Contrast...\' and \'Export Picture...\').
- [Improvement] All windows and menus can now be closed by clicking on its name/title (unless it\'s been made \'permanent\', in which case the size will be toggled instead). This is especially useful when navigating the menus of the menu bar panel.
- [Bugfix] Noticeable gamma deviation could occur when importing, exporting and displaying a picture.
- [New Feature] Internal clipboard that supports cut, copy, copy merged, paste and delete.
- [Improvement] The tool settings panel has been improved and a new \'complement tool\' option has been added which automatically selects a suitable tool for the right mouse button if you want, based on which tool you have selected for the left button.
- [Improvement] You can now bookmark more than one picture in the portfolio for quicker access.
- [New Layer Operation] Scale.
- [New Picture Operation] Turn.
- [Improvement] The spray tools have been improved.
- [Improvement] The GUI renderer has been optimized.
- [Bugfix] Picture operations only updated the layer thumbnail for the selected layer.
- [Bugfix] A buffer overflow bug could cause the program to crash.
- [Bugfix] The layer operations Flip and Clear didn\'t add undo steps.
- [Bugfix] The layer operations Destroy and Merge could cause a crash.
- [Bugfix] The Magic Wand tools could crash if a deactivated selection alreday existed.
- [Bugfix] Some of the effects could crash. [Improvement] The manual has been updated to reflect recent changes.
- [Misc.] ...And countless other minor improvements, additions and bugfixes.
