I think that this developer is onto something important here: ten basic tools, and sliders for view zooming & brush size.
It seems that there are many image editors with lots of features, but VERY few with just the tools that folks like me (and other seniors, perhaps) with basic skills can use with speed and satisfaction.
The ability to preview the brush size (for instance in the clone tool) before selection will be a welcome feature at some point; but, though it's clearly still in development, I look forward to owning Red Pill when it's rolled out the factory doors.
Well done, Jakob; 5 stars for the great idea!
