What would be great is a specific distortion tool, a grid-based digital image warping tool that creates a point based grid structure for a layer, and dragging a point on the grid pulls or pushes the pixels an equal amount. This type of tool allows for the creation of caricatures from a photo, or even extremely useful photo manipulation to get almost impossible to achieve localized effects otherwise.  
  
If you want to know more about what I am talking about, the codeproject has an article and some c++ source-code for a rendering engine.   Just Google "grid-based digital image warping", and the second result should be the codeproject article.

chasysDraw : drawing and painting tools are already good, now its time to expand animation features. I ask for [Xsheet] and [timeline]A feature / interface, both are for animation.

I like your programs but will you be incorporating 3D file viewing support in the future. I have a massive library of 3D content and a viewer program sounds a lot less memory intensive than a full blown application for this task.

Hi Sir John,
I wish you will strengthen the animation feature on Chasys Draw.
Frames, Timeline and layers features similar to adobe flash will be veeeery goood if implemented in next release of Chasys Draw.
  
And tons of thanks for this superb software.

Hello from Russia, John! First, I'd like to thank you for your software. It's really nice.
As for wish, I'd like an improved grid snapping. I don't know, may be this feature is already included, but I don't see any snapping for brushes and path's control points...

Not a wish, just a huge THANK YOU for asking CNET not to pack it as part of their installer.   I REFUSE to use that site, and any others that rebundle software with extra, malware, spyware, crapware, irritatingware and x@*%^$-ware.   Sadly it's becoming a bad habit of major file repositories.
  
Again, thanks you very much.   Well done!!!!!!!

I forgot one tool I would like to see.
  
10. An eraser with a configurable 'blend edge to transparent' and 'Blend to background' feature.  
  
The blend to transparent eraser would be used to detect color, blend, and then soften a configurable amount of pixels from the edge to transparency. It would help a lot with merging multiple cut-out photo elements into a realistic whole.  
  
The blend to background would do the same thing, except that instead of softening to transparent, it would soften the color to the background color, no matter what the background color currently is as it probably will change in a photo from region to region.

Chasys Draw IES: I would like to see a few tools.  
  
1. A gradient fill tool.
2. An 'Open Project' option at startup.
3. Clickable Foreground/Background blocks on color palette.
4. An 'Actual Size' feature under 'view' that will show the layer at it's true size in relation to the screen.
5. A 'Merge' button on the layer window to speed up the process dramatically.
6. User modifiable, dockable ribbon bar(s) for tools and functions used constantly.
7. Tooltips that, when turned off, they stay off when Chasys Draw next loaded.
8. A 'Reset' to factory settings button for the palette.
  
Now, for the hard one...
  
9. The ability to load and use GIMP plugins.
  
Notes so far... Chasys Draw IES is the most powerful and useful free Drawing software available. Yes, I have used GIMP and Paint.net, but am not that impressed with either. In comparison to Photoshop, Chasys Draw IES is the most powerful free option.

Have you any plans to include CAD-like tools?

more shadow options: to left, to up...
extrude figures as 3d
gradients for a determined area, not just for the entire layer
many autoshapes,as stars with 3-6 pointers, arrows...
posibility to insert copied text from msword for example
different size/character/color of text in the same layer
posibility to resize layers dragging the margins/corners
thank tou very much, it is anyway a very good program

I would really prefer to be able to change the default from pixels to inches in Chasys Draw IES.

I have been looking for a program and almost found it in yours, Chasys Draw, the only thing that I wished it had was the option to email the altered graphic to another person so they can see the results and may have a suggestion/improvement and can email it back to you or even just be able to email/upload to someone or place. For me, that would make it just perfect, but by all means it in it's present state is about perfect compared to other offerings I have seen so far.

Hi,
  
Two feature wishes for Chasys Draw -
A Watermark Feature.
  
B While resizing an image, Chasys draw has some default size presets. I would like to be able to save custom size presets and have them show up along with the default size presets. I could then make a Facebook front cover graphic and apply a custom Facebook resize preset to the image as an example.
  
Keep up the good work.

Hello!! I'd like to try suggesting something novel. How about pushing a little harder on the basic video editing and play back capabilities. I'm talking basic things like video sequencing, copy, and paste. You already have...
1.Video Screen Capture
2.Video cropping, optimization and rate conversion
  
I'd like to see the IES viewer capable of displaying video and at any point go back into the editor and tinker a bit(nothing major: on the scale of Movie maker). I feel it would fit into your commitment to  
  
Character: No photoshop imitations here.
Performance: Fast, efficient and stable.
Innovation: New techniques and out-of-the-box thinking.
  
It would also give you a little breathing room to toy with other aspects of the tool and further differentiate it from others.
  
  
Side note: Do you ever go to the computing/programming/artist area of nairaland.com? It's suppose to be a Nigerian site but there are Africans from all over there(African American myself) You can find some good talent to converse with and let folks know about your tool especially the folks in the art section. I try to mention your tool when I can I love it.  
  
Thanks and Good luck!!
