Working with Pigments Pro edition

Rebelle is the first software in the world with real physical color mixing based on traditional pigments in a full RGB color gamut. To work with Pigments, go to the Layers panel and turn the Pigments on by clicking on the button.

Pigments are active on the selected layer when the button is highlighted.

When working with Pigments on a layer, it is not possible to use the blending modes on the same layer.

Note

When Pigments are enabled, the colors mix and blend together on the layer as well as blend with the layers below. When Pigments are disabled, the blending changes.

Thanks to the Pigment mixing method, all simulated media such as oil paints, watercolors, or pastels look realistic and natural:
