BCS Award 07/09/2005

Chris Peerman of MPC Data was a recent winner of a BCS award for his project Canvas Studio.

Canvas Studio is an open-source Java framework which provides a simple digital imaging application for the Eclipse IDE. Canvas Studio features a plug-in architecture which allows 3rd party developers to extend the functional diversity of the application. Core features of Canvas Studio include:

• Many of the core features found within popular applications such as Photoshop and The GIMP such as layered images, opacity, blending modes, texture and filter support.
  
• A tools framework that allows 3rd party developers to develop brush tools such as Paint Brush, Airbrush, shapes and selections.
• Import/Export framework that allows 3rd party developers to import/export images from many different image file formats.

Thanks to the Eclipse RCP and Java technology, Canvas Studio will run on almost any platform supporting Java and the Eclipse runtime.
