Deluxe Paint was certainly not the first graphic program - but it is one of the most famous ones. It used to appear first on the Amiga - but was adopted for many plattforms. I liked it a lot. It was easy to use, fast und simply worked. Computer art was mostly limited by the few colours and very low screen resolutions at that time - but it was something new and different that intrigued artists.

Compared to todays digital art and tools old DP2 paintings look rough, boring and almost like child’s play.
