-GLpaint was an improved version of [[PCPaint]] and [[Pictor Paint]], and was the last in a series of paint programs that descended from the first IBM PC-based mouse driven [[GUI]] paint program ([[PCPaint]]). All three were written by John Bridges.
-By 1994, [[GRASP (multimedia authoring software)|GRASP]] development had stopped and so had development of Pictor Paint. John Bridges terminated his GRASP publishing contract with Paul Mace Software, and went off to create [[GLPro]] (the next generation of GRASP) with Gmedia, a division of IMS Communications Ltd.
-In 1995, GLpaint was released.
-Bundled with [[GLPro]], GLpaint saved its files in a compressed format with the file extension '''[[PICtor PIC image format|PIC]]''', which was the same format used by [[PCPaint]] and [[Pictor Paint]].
-By 1998 version 7.0 provided support for TrueColor images and the Pictor PIC format was expanded to handles these.
-GLPro was moved into a separate company, [[GMedia]], in early 2000, which closed their doors in February 2001 just as the native [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] and [[Linux]] support was entering public beta testing. Bridges is no longer involved in its development, and as of February 2002 is working on a new multimedia authoring system called [[AfterGRASP]] designed to be backwards compatible with GLPro with less emphasis on built-in media playback support.
-John Bridges has not announced any plans to create a successor to GLpaint, and the Pictor PIC file format has all but vanished. [[IMS Communications Ltd]] is still in existence.
