With option to use GPU acceleration (yet experimental), brushes can have bigger size and faster response.

New in Rebelle 1.5.5 (Jan 26, 2017)

  • Changes in Rebelle 1.5.5 include:
  • Touch gestures for Wacom and Ink devices on Windows - We’ve built a powerful multitouch system to Rebelle 1.5 back in 2016 that enabled you to use two fingers for panning, zooming and simultaneously rotating the canvas. This system was built with focus on display tablets. We updated Rebelle touch system and in the new version you can use touch gestures for pan, zoom and rotate on all types of tablets without display.
  • Fixed compatibility with Wacom touch devices on Mac OS - Wacom touch devices connected to Mac operating system did not work as expected with our touch and multitouch support. We’ve received some useful feedback from Rebelle users and were able to fix this issue with their kind help.
  • Added ‘Enable multitouch’ option to Preferences - From Rebelle 1.5.5 you can disable all touch gestures in Rebelle on your tablet - just go to Preferences and uncheck “Enable multitouch” in Tablet options. Using two fingers for rotate, zoom and pan will not work, one-finger touch that is by default used for Blend tool will be disabled as well.
  • Pause Diffusion bug fixed - Strange bug appeared in the old Rebelle versions - when you switched between Play and Pause diffusion, vertical and horizontal lines could appear in your previously painted stroke. This behavior is successfully fixed in this update.
  • Minor bug fixes - Other minor bug fixes are present in the latest update so that your painting experience with Rebelle will be as smooth as possible.

New in Rebelle 1.5 (Sep 14, 2016)

  • Faster Painting:
  • We’ve spent many weeks on optimizing Rebelle brushes for better user experience. This is a never-ending story for us, we have been optimizing Rebelle continuously from the beginning but finally in 1.5 version you can enjoy larger canvases and faster watercolor diffusion. Of course, newer processor is always recommended
  • Pause Diffusion:
  • Have you ever wished to pause the wet pigment from spreading on canvas and have more time to think about your next painting move? Although this is not possible in real life, since we work digital it is possible with just one click in Rebelle. Pause Diffusion button is available in the Layers panel.
  • New brush modes with more realistic watercolors and acrylics:
  • In the new update you will find new brush modes for watercolor and acrylic brushes: Normal, Permanent, Dirty and Clean. Normal brush is a typical brush - you paint with the selected color and depending on its loading, the color will slowly fade out from brush. Permanent brush, on the contrary, has an infinite loading, so you can paint with the same color till eternity! Dirty and clean brushes are opposites - while dirty brush never cleans itself and remains colored by the last used color, clean brush is not loaded with any color and is always re-colored by the color it passes across on the canvas.
  • Support for touch displays:
  • We’re humble most of the time, but this is something we are really proud of! The touch support is not easy to implement to a desktop application but we had a vision to make the best “touch” support ever. That is why you can now use your fingers to zoom, pan and rotate the viewport and all layers. Works also with mouse, pen, and of course, tablets with touch support.
  • Improved Canvas tilt and Accelerometer Support:
  • Tilt deserves panel on its own and that is exactly what we did in Rebelle 1.5. Now you can undock Tilt to make it accessible directly from the canvas and quickly turn it on and off easily. We’ve also implement support for tablet accelerometer so you can get the beautiful watercolor drops and effects based on your tablet’s orientation.
  • Rotate and Flip Canvas:
  • Rotation and flip canvas will ease your creative process to a great extent. You can now relax your hand, move and rotate the canvas in desired position and just enjoy painting. When you don’t know whether the proportions of the painting object are correct, just flip the canvas and you will face the truth!
  • Improved User Interface:
  • The user-friendly and well organised interface is always one of our top priorities. Now each panel in Rebelle 1.5 can be collapsed and has its own menu in the top right corner. You can scale the whole interface from 70% to up to 200%. What is more, you can set your preferred interface layout easily, see some examples below for your inspiration (UI can be reset to default any time via Window menu).
  • Improved Palette Panel and Custom Palettes:
  • We’ve divided the old Palette panel into two: Color and Color Set panels. The first one lets you pick your color using the palette or sliders and the latter gives you an opportunity to create your very own list of palettes. Not only you can create your palette by adding various colors, but you from a selected image! Rename, reorder, duplicate or remove any palette you want in a second. What a nice addition to Rebelle, right?
  • Publish to Gallery:
  • From 1.5 version you can upload your beautiful artworks to our online gallery and boast of your enormous talent. :) We can’t wait for your art to get there so hurry up and create something special, the latest update deserves it.
  • Language Selection:
  • Although most of Rebelle users are from English-speaking countries, we feel that it’d be great if the rest of the world can enjoy Rebelle in their native language as well. That’s why we added German, Spanish, Korean and our native Slovak translation. Set your preferred language of Rebelle interface in Preferences panel. If you would like to translate Rebelle to your native language, we can send you the list of 250 words used in the interface and you can translate them for you fellow creatives.

New in Rebelle 1.1.0 (Jun 24, 2015)

  • Mix color mode enables you to pick a color not only from the color set but from the palette and the whole canvas as well. Great feature, non existent in any graphic software has become an inevitable part of Rebelle application. Try it for yourself if you haven’t already, it’s simple and natural: switch the “Mix Color” button from Palette Panel on or hold “X” on your keyboard to mix your color with another color. Press the selected color multiple times to add more color. The mix color mode is adaptive and the result color depends on the difference between two mixed colors.
  • Example: If you want your red color to be more orange in tint, click on the orange color swatch - the spectrum will move towards the red-orange tint. The more you click on the orange color, the more orange tint it gets.
  • The user interface in Rebelle will automatically adapt to users’ high resolution displays and their DPI (or correctly: PPI), so users of Microsoft Surface 3 Pro have nice big buttons.
