Original IFF Deluxe Paint images from back in the day, courtesy of the Amiga Graphics Archive.

This is the one that always makes me think of DPaint:

I just got nuclear nostalgia whiplash when I scrolled down and saw this:

I used to play with those brushes as a kid, and I'd completely forgotten about it until just now!

I had Brilliance but I remember the image of Tutankhamen's although i don't remember where from. I dont remember if I had Deluxe Paint or not.

I wish I still had my Amiga. Maybe I'll try to find a way to install it in qumu.

I'd imagine FS-UAE would be the quicker way to fire up an Amiga?

or maybe https://taws.ch/WB.html to get a taste of Workbench again

Was quickly researching last night and it didnt seem too complicated although looking and doing can be completely different things. I'll check out your link, thanks!

Brilliance also has a page on that site - that image looks familiar, was it on the box cover?

Yes it was, it was also the splash/loading screen when you fired it up. It had a key held in a memory card type thing. I wanted the video toaster so bad! I was like 13-ish with aspirations of doing computer animation. I owned this on VHS Beyond the Minds Eye and accredit it for my journey into computers, graphic design and even programming. Although I never did get that video toaster, however I do own blender and dink around from time to time.

I had Brilliance back then too, somehow I find it easier to use, than DPaint. Not sure why. Unfortunately I don’t have Amiga anymore, but at least I have unforgettable memories from that era. Oh, now I got something in my eye, sorry.

It is better to have had an Amega and lost it than to have never had an Amega at all.

I feel your pain.

I don't know where we got it back then, but I fondly remember the Lost Ark on our Amiga 500.

I never could figure out how HAM mode was supposed to work. Whenever I tried it colours bled everywhere and just made a mess.

@Blackmist @Deebster at some point around 1996, for the "tint " demo of tbl, it was discovered that if you asked to change value in order rgbbrgbbrgbb there was no bleeding, thus perfect 18bit truecolor on aga
