Thanks for your comment. Tint will continue to be available as free, open source software as it is now. Yes, there will be a few “closed source” issues with regard to the Photoshop plugin component of it, but these will apply to the Photoshop plugin only, not to the rest of the software. You won’t need Photoshop to use Tint.

I would like to develop a plugin for the Gimp also at some point (I’m a Linux user myself), although Photoshop will come first.

Should say that all this is back on the agenda at the moment. Also there are some major performance improvements and a nice new interface. I’ll get some more information out on these new developments soon!

I am asking why you must to buy an expensive Photoshop license to make a plugin that you will give for free (where free is not as price, but as freedom).

In this way you pay a license, force your user to buy a license, and you will be forced in a closed source software. According me it would be nicer that you start to write your plugin for Gimp instead, that need a lot plugins like your.

Ok, photoshop is more used by people, photoshop is nicer, but in the end it is, and will reamain a very closed software.

In every case, in photoshop or in gimp, your plugin will be a very nice program.
