The original Chasys Draw was a rather simple bitmap editor done in <a href="/wiki/Visual_Basic" title="Visual Basic">Visual Basic</a>, a lot like <a href="/wiki/MS_Paint" class="mw-redirect" title="MS Paint">MS Paint</a> save for its ability to do gradients. This application underwent many changes, eventually leading up to Chasys Draw 5. This was the first version to have its own native format, referred to simply as CD5.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Major updates to the graphics code in May 2002 resulted in Chasys Draw DTFx (Direct Tool eFfects). The new graphics code being referred to here was actually a miniature bitmap abstraction engine that allowed for fast per-pixel operations and direct image buffer access (much as the DIB engine does for GDI). The engine was named JpDRAW. This version was also done in VB, but was much faster than all the previous versions. The new graphics code allowed for more tools to be implemented than was ever possible before. Later on in 2002, the developer decided to completely abandon VB as a programming platform and moved all the code to <a href="/wiki/C_(programming_language)" title="C (programming language)">C</a>/<a href="/wiki/C%2B%2B" title="C++">C++</a>. The move to C/C++ allowed the development of a full-fledged graphics engine which was named JpDRAW2. Chasys was renamed to Chasys Draw Artist, and the CD5 image format was also updated to reflect the new features. By coincidence, the module that implemented the file format was the fifth module to be added, so the format was called Chasys Draw module 5, retaining the .cd5 file extension. </p> <dl><dt>First public release</dt></dl> <p>In April 2004, Chasys Draw Artist was released to the public via the internet for the first time (version 1.27). The release was done via betanews<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). In 2005, Chasys Draw underwent major user interface changes as well as internal changes. By December of that year, the project had reached version 1.63. This was the first version to introduce advanced features such as <a href="/wiki/Spatial_anti-aliasing" title="Spatial anti-aliasing">anti-aliasing</a>. It was also the first version with full support for <a href="/wiki/Alpha_channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Alpha channel">alpha channels</a>. The CD5 image format was also upgraded to version 2, adding advanced <a href="/wiki/Data_compression" title="Data compression">compression</a>, full alpha channels, <a href="/wiki/Encryption" title="Encryption">encryption</a> and <a href="/wiki/Metadata" title="Metadata">metadata</a>. Version 1.63 was the first version to win an <a href="/wiki/IEEE" class="mw-redirect" title="IEEE">IEEE</a> (<a href="/wiki/Kenya" title="Kenya">Kenya</a> chapter) award in ICT.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The "chazy-glass" interface, from which the all later versions' user interfaces borrowed, was introduced in version 1.80. Chasys Draw Artist adopted <a href="/wiki/Image_editing" title="Image editing">photo editing</a> features in version 2.01. Comprehensive tutorials were added and many features were re-designed to make them easier to use. <a href="/wiki/Thread_(computer_science)" class="mw-redirect" title="Thread (computer science)">Multi-threading</a> was introduced to accelerate some tasks, such as the improved auto-save engine. Utilities such as a converter and browser were added. Version 2.43 of Chasys Draw Artist was quietly released to the public in late 2007 without any announcements. It featured many fixes to the formal version 2.42, as well as many new features. The quiet release was due to a decision to re-build Chasys Draw Artist from scratch, while still continuing support for the old architecture. An experimental version 2.45 was released only to beta-testers for the purpose of testing new technologies that would be included in the new architecture and was officially withdrawn in May 2008. </p><p>During the time when the versions 2.43~2.45 were being released, work was underway to create a new layer-based Chasys Draw, which was released as Chasys Draw IES (Image Editing Suite), with the initial version number 2.50. A new multi-layer tag-based image format was created to support layering and <a href="/wiki/Blend_modes" title="Blend modes">blending modes</a>; this was named CD5 v3. The next version introduced animation and multi-resolution support as editing modes, and the next one brought in an unlimited undo engine, new plug-ins and several internal fixes. Further development led to the introduction of <a href="/wiki/Super-resolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Super-resolution">super-resolution</a> and <a href="/wiki/Image_stacking" class="mw-redirect" title="Image stacking">image stacking</a>, support for video and <a href="/wiki/Video_capture" title="Video capture">video capture</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spatial_anti-aliasing" title="Spatial anti-aliasing">Anti-aliasing</a>, metadata save and restore, a "Pen and Path" tool, physical measurement specification, and a <a href="/wiki/Video" title="Video">video</a> sequence composer engine. The user interface was enhanced with adaptive scrolling and the auto-save engine was optimized. Some <a href="/wiki/Memory_management" title="Memory management">memory management</a> was added for machines with low <a href="/wiki/RAM" class="mw-redirect" title="RAM">RAM</a>. </p><p>By version 2.60, Chasys Draw IES was capable of loading <a href="/wiki/Photoshop" class="mw-redirect" title="Photoshop">Photoshop</a>'s PSD files, as well as load and save <a href="/wiki/JPEG_2000" title="JPEG 2000">JPEG 2000</a>. This version also had shell integration with <a href="/wiki/Thumbnail" title="Thumbnail">thumbnails</a> and application-level support for <a href="/wiki/Multi-monitor" title="Multi-monitor">multi-monitor</a> display setups. <a href="/wiki/Metadata" title="Metadata">Metadata</a> was extended to support save, restore and scaling for text formatting and path data. There was also a new palette with exchangeable swatches, loadable from all kinds of palette files. A slicing tool for web and user interface design was also included. A <a href="/wiki/C%2B%2B" title="C++">C++</a> code module output for inline image generation was added, as was a constrained recolor brush. </p><p>The concept of a "fully anti-aliased work-flow" was introduced in version 2.62, in which all drawing and selection tools were anti-aliased by default. Support for Photoshop plug-ins using Adobe's <a href="/wiki/8bf" class="mw-redirect" title="8bf">8bf</a> format was added in version 2.66, allowing users to utilize thousands of free plug-ins available online. Equivalents for the <a href="/wiki/Pantone" title="Pantone">Pantone</a> <a href="/wiki/Palette_(painting)" title="Palette (painting)">palettes</a> (PMS 100 to 814-2x) were added, and the "Just-in-Time" memory compressor significantly reduced the editor's memory requirements. </p> <dl><dt>First freeware release</dt></dl> <p>Chasys Draw IES went <a href="/wiki/Freeware" title="Freeware">freeware</a> on 6 June 2009. With the coming of the freeware IES, two <a href="/wiki/Blend_modes" title="Blend modes">blending modes</a> (Hue and Chroma) were added. Textures were improved to allow multiple layer-based textures. The TextArt G3 engine was enhanced with LINK metadata, and alpha shift was improved. IES 2.72 added the Luma Wand tool, fixed <a href="/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics" class="mw-redirect" title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</a> and <a href="/wiki/TIFF" title="TIFF">TIFF</a> transparency issues, and fixed Smart-Paste transparency. IES 2.74 introduced alpha protection, and 2.75 followed with a new adjustments engine that faced out many effects implemented by the effects engine. The adjustments engine was designed to appeal to experienced image editors. IES 2.76 introduced a new transform engine and the Resizer for IES plug-in supporting multi-core and 18 scaling methods, including customizable <a href="/wiki/Sinc_filter" title="Sinc filter">windowed Sinc</a> <a href="/wiki/Interpolation" title="Interpolation">interpolation</a>. IES 2.77 added Greyscale with Tint adjustment, separated the Lock and Click-Thru layer properties, extended the Cloning Brush with three options (this, below and composite) and also extended the Color Picker with multiple point sampling. </p><p>IES 3.01 brought a new look and many breakthrough tools to the suite. It was geared toward touch and was fully compatible with Windows 7. The toolbox was reorganized, with some tools being grouped and new ones added. Some message boxes were replaced with a new popup system, and the working of the workspace was changed to use a <a href="/wiki/Blitter" title="Blitter">back-blitter</a>, which enabled the addition of new blending modes, Screen and Mask. The printing interface was modified and given accurate proofing. Alpha Function Adjustment was added and a new Anti-<a href="/wiki/Quantization_error" class="mw-redirect" title="Quantization error">Quantization</a> Engine included for all adjustments to remove the need for 16 bits per channel editing. An internal clipboard was created to cater for copying images that are too large for the Windows clipboard, and translucency full-page gradients added. Some new tutorials were added and keyboard shortcuts made configurable. </p><p>IES 3.05 brought the power of custom full-page gradients to the suite, supporting .ggr, .grd and .gra gradients. New gradient styles were included, as was support for Adobe color tables (.act), palette previewing, point color editing and a highly improved TextArt engine. </p> <dl><dt>Digital lightroom</dt></dl> <p>IES 3.11 was introduced on 14 December 2009. It was done on a new development base and added a new application, raw-Input. This was a <a href="/wiki/Raw_image_format" title="Raw image format">RAW image format</a> processor based on dcraw. This application allowed the use of Chasys Draw IES in processing digital negatives, which are popular with professional photographers. </p><p>Chasys Draw IES 3.24 was released with a re-designed user interface, powered by a higher performance graphics core and better memory management. A history palette was introduced, as was a new screen capture function with video capability. The layer palette received drag-drop capability and unsharp masking got yet another upgrade. Soft proofing with ICC profiles was introduced in version 3.27. Full support for <a href="/wiki/Windows_7" title="Windows 7">Win-7</a> was added in version, as was support for <a href="/wiki/Exif" title="Exif">Exif</a>. Support for <a href="/wiki/Graphics_tablet" title="Graphics tablet">graphics tablets</a> (including <a href="/wiki/Wacom_(company)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wacom (company)">Wacom</a>) followed in version 3.33, and support for <a href="/wiki/LightScribe" title="LightScribe">LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling</a> was added in version 3.40. </p> <dl><dt>Conversion to Unicode</dt></dl> <p>Chasys Draw IES 3.56 was the product of porting Chasys Draw IES from <a href="/wiki/ASCII" title="ASCII">ANSI</a> to <a href="/wiki/Unicode" title="Unicode">UNICODE</a>. It featured the first version of the Live Language Translation Engine, with <a href="/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization" title="Internationalization and localization">multiple language support</a>. A new, Unicode-aware "TextArt G4" engine was also introduced. IES 3.63 featured highly improved Photoshop 8BF support, a Silent Install option, Drag-drop to the Layers window, a censoring brush (under fx Brush), Improved RAW support, FastExternals 2.22 with a new callback suite (pi_StateStore), an external histogram window and a new Touch Gadget. It also included several bug fixes. Fault-tolerant file saving and taskbar progress reporting for Windows 7 were introduced in version 3.64. </p> <dl><dt>Recent versions</dt></dl> <p>Recent versions of Chasys Draw IES have added high-end features such as <a href="/wiki/Layers_(digital_image_editing)#Adjustment_layer" title="Layers (digital image editing)">adjustment layers</a>, Power Management, jitter-corrected Video Screen Capture, video cropping, digitizer pen rotation (e.g. Wacom Intuos with 6D Art Pen), and Shell-out. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chasys_Draw_IES&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Design"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to the author, Chasys Draw IES is <i>designed under the mantra of Unique, flexible and powerful</i>, and <i>takes a radically different approach to image editing with the aim of opening up new possibilities for those who dare to dream</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Layers">Layers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chasys_Draw_IES&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Layers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Chasys Draw IES uses the concept of a <i>free-style</i> layer. A free-style layer is one that can be positioned anywhere, including totally removing it from the image and keeping it aside.
