Stephan Schulz: Don't know, but have the physical media

Could be great to check this out! Can this be downloaded somewhere?--[[User:Ygdrazil|Ygdrazil]] 07:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

:I don't know. But I still have my reference copies (3" disk and cassette tape). I don't know what the state of the media is, but if you know somebody who has the equipment to get it off, I'd be willing to mail them. I may also have the sources, but they are in a box of unsorted and unmarked disks... --[[User:Stephan Schulz|Stephan Schulz]] 10:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

'''Magic Brush''' was a graphics editor for the CPC 464, developed by [[Stephan Schulz]] and marketed by [[Waldeck Software]] in Germany.

The program was developed completely in Z80 assembler and sported a menu-driven graphical user interface. It provided various drawing modes (airbrush, pencil, polygons, circles and ellipses, patterned and plain fill) and image manipulation tools like (rectangular) copy and paste, rotation, and mirroring. It also included a character editor, zoom mode, and the creation of clip-art.

The program was shipped with a small, freely distributable Basic extension called [[Magic Basic]] that allowed the use of the generated graphics in Basic programs.
