''Brilliance'' is a bitmap graphics editor for the Amiga computer, published by Digital Creations in 1993.〔http://www.pcmuseum.ca/details.asp?id=306&type=software〕 Although marketed as a single package, ''Brilliance'' in reality consisted of two separate (but near identical-looking) applications. One was a palette-based package also named ''Brilliance''. The other was a true color package called ''TrueBrilliance''. The ''Brilliance'' package was one of the major rivals to ''Deluxe Paint'', the established "killer app" in Amiga bitmap graphics editing. At its launch, Brilliance attracted generally favorable reviews. One commonly noted point was ''TrueBrilliance'' ''TrueBrilliance'' was notable for its ability to edit true 15 and 24-bit color images, even on older Amigas which could only display HAM-6 (pseudo-12-bit color) graphics. In such cases, the image was rendered as a HAM display, but all modifications were performed on the underlying true color image buffer. Even when the final image was intended for HAM display, this had the advantage that successive operations did not accumulate HAM artifacts on top of each other. Loss of quality could be restricted to a single HAM conversion at the end of the process. ==Releases== There were two major releases of ''Brilliance''. *Brilliance package released in 1993 that came with a dongle. *Brilliance 2 (released in 1994) dropped this requirement, although some reviewers considered the changes in functionality overall to be minor, given the new major release number. However, the significant drop in price of the new version was positively received. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brilliance (graphics editor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
