the original alpha channel if any.

to rearrangement of frames, from palette editing to BPP changing, from image enhancing to series resizing; and from modifying settings to minimizing the animated GIF file size, etc.
While equiped with various Paint tools such as Brush, Line, Arc, Bezier, Rectangle, Oval, Lasso, Fill, Spray and Replace, etc., the program also provides a whole array of sophisticated effect filters including Brighten, Darken, Soften, Sharpen, Fade, Contrast, Grayscale,
Sepia, Cast, Emboss, Engrave, Tile, Gradient, Color Theme, Trace Edges,
Perspective and Bevel Image, Blend In and Texture, etc.

Full Version 5.0.0

AZ Paint & PNG Editor is a full version PNG Editor.
Practically PNG has two merits over GIF: (i) It is not confined to a 256-color boundary and (ii) It provides a robust file integrity check. When comparing to JPG, PNG is more suited for images which need to be edited repeatedly, as PNG's compression is "lossless".
In addition to tools and filters for creating and editing BMP, JPG, GIF, TGA, PCX and TIFF, etc., this PNG Editor specially covers functions and features unique to PNG, e.g. it provides alpha
channel editing on a magnified and grided screen. Alpha channel is preserved when you paint, rotate or resize the image, etc. The program supports PNGs of any Bit Depth (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 in PNG terms) and any Color Type (0, 2, 3, 4 & 6 in PNG terms).
On Save, you may optionally set transparency, background color, interlacing, sRGB and Filter Type, etc. If an alpha channel exists, you may choose whether to apply the original alpha values or the edited ones.
AZ Paint & PNG Editor allows display, edit and creation of "APNG" (Animated PNG, advocated by Firefox browser). It also provides direct conversion from Animated GIF to
APNG.
