What's New in Version 4
This is a new major release, with numerous improvements and changes to the user interface, to higher performance and features. The prior major release, PD Pro 3.0, came in January 2005, and was followed by numerous free updates. We hope to do the same with this major step, following up with even more new features and performance enhancements as well as support for Vista and new hardware to come such as quad-processors and higher-end configurations. We are obsessed with highend performance for professional users, and we hope it will show.
For a list of earlier, major and minor releases and former update patches, see what's new in Project Dogwaffle?
Top Improvements to PD Pro 4.0:
- New user-centric interface makes more of PD Pro's power easier to use, more easily accessible.
- More speed and flexibility. PD Pro is optimized with
the latest state-of-the art techniques for realtime feel and operation,
using multiple threads to render some filters and effects much faster
on multi-core systems. (HT, Dual Core, X2,...)
- New favorites list lets you organize and keep your favorite tools in an easy-to-use thumbnail browser.
- New pigment profiles are much simpler, more flexible, and powerful than color swatches, palette mixers, or other schemes used in the past to represent the color of pigments in traditional painting medias. Pixel profiles are fully integrated, along with newly integrated color tools like the Color harmony tool.
- Better integration of existing tools, plus dozens of
optimizations, tweaks, fixes and improvements requested by users and
beta testers.

Recommended System Configuration:
- Operating System:
Windows XP recommended. Earlier versions may also work, such as Windows
98 or
2000, but have not been tested as much. Still, they should work ok.
- System Memory:
at least 128 MB RAM available, 256 MB or more strongly
recommended.
- Disk Space: 30 MB
- Graphics: a
video card set to 1024x768 or higher resolution, and 24-bit or better
(truecolor) depth. No 3D acceleration needed, all display
rendering is done in software through GDI and MMX.
- Processor Type: MMX-enabled Intel Pentium 2/3/4 type or AMD equivalent, 1 GHz speed recommended, although it has been seen to work satisfactorily on some slower processors too. PD Pro 4 works great on multi-processor or multi-core systems.
