Over the years artist software has become more and more complex and has lost much of the creative freedom of laying color down on the paper or canvas. It is our goal to offer tools that give artists the tools to capture ideas quickly without spending hours or days studying a reference manual. Stated another way our motto is "Simplicity Without Sacrifice". TwistedBrush is our flagship product that delivers on this idea.To learn more about this software or download a trial visit our website at http://www.pixarra.com.

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. Originally designed for electronic display devices,now this technology is widely used to manufacture high-resolution televisions. Liquid crystal televisions work on Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology. Their screen consists of a liquid crystal layer
sandwiched between two transparent layers. A bulb placed behind the screen illuminates the TFT panel.
Upon receiving the data, the liquid crystals align themselves in various degrees. The alignment of the crystals blocks unwanted light and only required light gets transmitted. The degree of alignment decides what color and contrast will be filtered
through the panel.
When LCD TVs were first introduced, their major competition was the plasma TV. LCD and plasma televisions coexist and compete even today.
Each has its own merits and demerits. LCD TVs cannot produce as much color or contrast as plasma TVs, but their overall picture quality remains better than...
