The image editor you already know, rebuilt from the ground up with the features that matter.
Layers. Real brushes. One purchase.
What’s new in Studio
Layer based editing
Work non-destructively with a full layer system. Blend modes, opacity, masks, and unlimited undo. Every operation is a command. Nothing is ever destructive unless you choose it to be.
Libmypaint brush engine
The same brush technology used by MyPaint and GIMP, integrated directly into the canvas. Pressure and tilt sensitivity on supported tablets. A curated default brush pack included.
Multi document workflow
Open as many files as you need simultaneously. Each document has its own independent undo history. Switching tabs never touches your other work.
OpenRaster native format
.ora files store every layer, mask, and blend mode. JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF import/export with full EXIF preservation.
All the tools you’d expect
Selections (rectangular, ellipse, lasso, magic wand), crop, resize, text, fill, paint brush, eraser, blur, spray can, colour picker, line tool plus the new layer-aware move tool.
Familiar, faster interface
Tabbed canvas, docked layers and history panels, contextual tool settings, and a clean dark default theme. If you’ve used PhotoFlare, you’ll be productive in minutes.
