Version 3.00 introduced channels with help from Dmitry Groshev, who did the work to implement the alpha (transparency), selection and mask channels. Tyler explained the version numbering, "To go from version 0.97 to 1.00 would not have reflected the quantum leap in functionality due to the implementation of layer facilities."
Version 2.00 was released on 7 August 2005. The version number went directly from release 0.97 to 2.00, with no 1.00 series. Following version 0.30 the program was ported to Microsoft Windows as Tyler personally wanted to use it on a Windows computer he had. The first release was version 0.23 and it featured an indexed palette system, but no RGB support.
#FREE AND OPEN SOURCE RASTER GRAPHICS EDITOR SOFTWARE#
Other design goals included that it be fast, reliable and free software under the GNU General Public License to protect user freedom. As such the interface uses the GTK 1/2 toolkit. One of the design aims was to produce a lightweight graphics editors that could be run on older hardware. As well as being an extremely good wave editing program, I also learnt many valuable lessons from this program." Of the development speed, Tyler noted, "This rapid development was only possible after I used and studied an excellent program call mhWaveEdit, written by Magnus Hjorth, in the Spring of 2004. Work was started on 7 August 2004 and the first public release was made on 13 September 2004. He evaluated existing graphics editors, but decided to write his own from scratch. MtPaint was originally written by Mark Tyler specifically for Linux operating systems, as a personal project for his own use. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. MtPaint (short for Mark Tyler's Painting Program) is a free and open-source raster graphics editor for creating icons, pixel art and for photo editing.
