Finni (Feb 9, 2003)
A drawing of one of my characters, Reichal, chibi style. I was trying out this new applet thing and here are my opinions:Pro: The applet has SO many functions and for some parts, I felt like I was using an early version of Photoshop or something. The options and number of different variables are AMAZING -love the multiple layers and how it works just like photoshop -THANK YOU for making a desc of each tool on mouseover -the history is EXTREMELY helpful. Cons: Well, though the number of options was amazing, it also made my computer lag. a lot. -lagging. blame it on my pentium 2 processor, but still, I think this can be improved. -the dodge tool works... strangely. different... it usually makes some colour shine or.. dunno how to describe it, but this dodge works like adding white to the colour... -blur tool doesn't seem to work too well. -the lagging. again. I closed ALL my applications and it still lagged like mad. I think that about sums it up! All in all, I still think it's a great new applet, I just need to use the family laptop in order to draw on it because the laptop is pentium 4, not the 2 on this computer... *sweatdrop* -Finni

I wouldn't recommend using lascaux on a computer under 450mHz or 128mb ram. Since they're already up to 7x that speed, it's not a big deal in my opinion.
I suggest upgrading to java 1.4.x, it's faster, more efficient, and even has some extra features
-the dodge tool
Unlike in photoshop where you can only pick 'hilights', 'midtones', and 'shadows' for your dodge/burn tools, lascaux lets you pick the whole range (from black to white)... a side effect of that is picking a non-greyscale color will produce curious but sometimes useful effects.
-blur tool doesn't seem to work too well.
It works fine for me, but you need to make sure you have a large enough brush (5x5 or more). You can still use smaller, but it'll create a different effect.
