Let us know what features you want and I will add them to the list.

Very informative. Thanks.

Looks like a great app, I just have a few questions:
1. can it be used to add text to a photo?
2. are there different size, shape brushes?
3. is there a tool to draw lines or arrows?
4. what does the color selector look like

is it possible for you to add a bunch of screenshots to this thread. I've been waiting for an image editor for a while. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully the info is a "What's to come..." type deal. As far as the current app goes, there isn't much info to give.

Ya, I just read your review. Sounds like a very basic app at the moment. However it would be nice to know where they plan on going with it.

Hint...crop and gamma correction.

Fantastic app for the Pre, however, I like many others im guessing was hoping to see a lot more functionality and options from it, especially with the price tag. Hopefully they will able to update this frequently and make big impovements too it. I would use it occassionally but would worth paying for if it did what i would like. A demo or trial version of this would be very beneficial. Even images would help. Im not against paying for this app at all but has to make a lot of progress before I jump all in.

We are working to update the app now with some added functionality. List off what you want here and well keep adding them. We plan to keep updating this application regularly.

Also we are going to add more information to this post shortly.

DrSuse - Can you email us at CTLAdvance@live.com. We are very interested by your issue and we would like to resolve it quickly and get an update out. So far we have tested with a Palm Pre on webOS 1.2.1 and a Pixi on 1.3. If you can give us your stats and some more background info that would be great.

Would love to see added to that list:

1. Eraser
2. Eyedropper/Color-picker

Would like to see added to that list:

1. Maybe a fill/bucket tool?

CTL Advance · 10/29/2009, 06:12 PM

Also please note that we are limited with the canvas tag so please bare with us until we either get full support or get a work around for the missing items.

CTL Advance · 10/31/2009, 04:53 PM

Just an update that we are working towards pushing our latest update to palm. This should correct the issues with the spacebar opening the menu, however you will need to close the menu with the on screen close button.

Features also implemented:
- Draw Line tool
- Rotate Image in canvas.
- tap gesture area to open menu (allow for closed device usage)
- Eraser tool
- Possible Zoom (not 100% official yet though, might wait until next update)

Neat, hope to see it soon.

Once zoom is enabled it would be nice to open the image without stretching the proportions to fit the screen. Also when I do a screen capture now it saves 2 of the images. Is this something that happened with the os update or because of the app? Is anyone else having this problem?

CTL Advance · 11/04/2009, 01:24 PM

Good news... we are conducting our last round of testing on the new features so we should be able to submit the update sometime tomorrow. Then once palm approves it, you should be able to download it from the catalog. I will post again once it is available.
