CB Paint 2 is the long awaited successor to CB Paint, the professional tool for all creative editors, video artists and cartoonists. The complete package for total control with Casablanca has been redesigned and has been treated to a new modern interface, audio support and many significant improvements. The results are truly unlimited possibilities to unleash your creativity. The tools, combined with the right sense of creativity, allow you to turn a simple video film into an art masterpiece.
The changes since CBPaint 1 are considerable. To give you an idea, please study the list of new features below.
CBPaint 2 will be available as a full version and as an update for users of the original CBPaint. Additionally available graphics tablets from WACOM are perfect companions to make the most of the software.
