What is Pixia?
Pixia is a freeware bitmap graphics editor program for Windows, created by Isao Maruoka. It was originally designed for the anime/manga community but has also been used in other branches of art. Besides the primary Japanese interface, it is also available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Polish, Korean and German. The program supports multiple layers, transparency effects, standard file formats and a number of RGB file formats including .PSD. The main file extension used by this program is .PXA. The program also has a native support for Wacom tablets, for example the 4.2a version added support for Wacom Bamboo tablets.
Comments and Reviews
Weird interface, rather idiosyncratic features (try figuring that line gradient tool, I'll give you a Nobel prize). Oddly comfortable to doodle in.
One big complaint - the developers decided that the new versions should never be available for Windows 7, even back when it was still "officially supported". There's no logical explanation for this. Pixia is all about being irrational, I guess...
