Opacity Express is great for making resolution independent images and icons for applications and the web.
Opacity Express is an editor for screen graphics designed exclusively for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It makes it easy for graphic artists to design great looking images for icons, desktop applications, and the web.
With the release of Leopard, resolution independence is coming soon and Opacity Express can help you make your graphics resolution independent. It`s been designed from the ground up to make it easy to make gorgeous graphics at multiple resolutions.
Opacity Express is a very powerful tool for professional artists with all the features you would expect, like pixel editing, vector objects, and live filters. It also has plenty of new features like Variables and Factories to make designing screen graphics even easier!
What It`s Not
The things that Opacity Express doesn`t do were almost as important in creating it as the things it does do. By focusing on a very specific purpose (graphics for the screen), Opacity Express is easier to use and has specific features that wouldn`t make sense if it tried to do everything.
Here are some things it`s not for:
· Editing photos
· Creating prepress images
· Creating print graphics
· Legacy image formats
· Swiss army knife-style image editing
