[h3]To celebrate the new feature, we would love for you guys to share your favorite gradient map patterns in the comments below, using the copy-paste (clipboard) feature! Who knows, we might end up adding a few of our favorite user-made ones to the next update 👀

If you have specific requests for new gradient map presets, we'd love to hear them! Feel free to leave your suggestions and ideas in the comment section.

And as always, we're open to any thoughts you have for how we can enhance the gradient map and onion skin functions. We really do value your feedback, couldn't do any of this without you!

P.S. We're still working on the 3D tool, along with other exciting new functions, so stay tuned.

Thank you once again for supporting MediBang Paint for Steam. We hope you're enjoying the new features and can't wait to see the amazing gradient patterns you come up with! 💖✨

[h3]Dear MediBang Paint Community,

Just as a heads up, starting December 6th, 2023, the price of MediBang Paint for Steam will increase to $69.99.

With the recent release of Version 2.0, we proudly introduced exclusive features such as gradient maps and onion skinning. This price adjustment is an investment in bringing you even more exciting updates in the future. Your patience and dedication inspire us, and we can't wait to share what's in store.

We have also received inquiries about whether or not we can provide MediBang Premium to users who have purchased MediBang Paint for Steam. Unfortunately, due to the inherent limitations in linking our internal MediBang account system to Steam accounts, we are unable to offer this as a feature.

We'd like to also extend a heartfelt thank you for the incredible support we've received since the launch of MediBang Paint for Steam. Your contributions, especially those who have purchased the Steam edition, are truly invaluable to our small Tokyo team here at MediBang Inc headquarters. A special acknowledgment goes out to our solo developer, who has been exclusively dedicated to MediBang Paint since 2014!

Secure your copy of MediBang Paint for Steam at the current price of $49.99 before December 5th. Be the first to experience all the exclusive content coming your way!

With Love,
The MediBang Team 🎨💻[/h3]

[h3] We have heard MediBang Artists asking for this feature and worked hard this year to make it happen ✨ Now you can enjoy experimenting with 20 lovingly created gradient presets, and also make your own using MediBang Paint for Steam's exclusive new Gradient Map tool 😍 [/h3]

• To customize the colors in a new gradient map, just single click on the anchor points to change the color, or adjust the gradient further by double clicking to create a new anchor point.
  
• Or, if you would rather customize the preset gradient maps, that's also easy in this new update. Drag the hue bar or type in a number between 0 and 360 to change the hue of the selected gradient however you want before saving it to use for next time. 🌈
  
• The Gradient Map tool also allows you to control the blend mode of the layer it's applied to, with all of MediBang Paint's standard blend modes available to use!
  
• This tool comes in handy not only for changing the entire color schemes of an illustration, but also fine details. If you want to change the color scheme for just one part of your selected layer, use any of the selection tool (MagicWand works best for this) and open the Gradient Map tool from the Filter tab to adjust the colors as needed. 🪄

[h3] We also know MediBang users have been clamoring for some animation tools, so we added Onion Skinning to the program! [/h3]

For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, Onion Skinning is a 2D animation technique used when animating to see several frames at once. It's the best way to ensure that your animation is smoothly lined up while working. "Onion Skinning" gets its name from the vegetable of the same name, since both Onion Skin layers and the vegetable peels are both semi-transparent! 🧅

• You can activate this new feature from the View tab in the Menu. When Onion Skin Mode is activated, you will be able to see other layers highlighted in different colors while drawing on your active layer.
  
• Add a new layer to draw a new frame while observing the layer below, and just repeat until you're finished animating.
  
• You can preview your animation as a GIF with "autoplay" from the View tab.
  

• With Onion Skin Mode activated, you can then export your layers into a sequence of PNG images from the Files tab. We recommend this format for artists who want to create animated GIFs perfect for online use. 🎞
  
• Or select Export Layers (MP4) from the Files tap to export your animation to a video that you can easily upload anywhere you'd like! 📹
  

[h3]We here at MediBang Inc. truly appreciate our artist's patience as we work to bring you a better version of our software.[/h3]

[h3]From now until December 5th you can get MediBang Paint for Steam for $49.99, take this chance to join the MediBang Artist community today![/h3]
