Perhaps the first 256-color paint program for the Mac, PixelPaint was developed by Pixel Resources and published by SuperMac. It was positioned as a software showcase for the latter company’s new Spectrum 8-bit color video card for the Mac II and accompanying 19″ monitor, introduced at MacWorld Expo Boston in August 1987. Journalists noted that besides SuperMac, vendors such as PCPC (Personal Computer Peripherals Co.) and Mitsubishi were also shipping large-screen displays that would show off the software to good effect.
Added scanned 1988 APC (Australian Personal Computer) review of PixelPaint 1.0 as PDF (see Manual DL above). For this review PixelPaint 1.0 was tested on a Macintosh II. PixelPaint's Australian purchase cost at the time, had a recommended retail price of AU$998.
