Rebelle 1.1 is full of new changes and improvements including a new Mix color mode and adaptive user interface scaling for high-resolution displays.
In version 1.1 Mix color mode enables you to pick a color not only from the color set but from the palette and the whole canvas as well. Great feature, nonexistent in any graphic software has become an inevitable part of Rebelle application. Try it for yourself if you haven’t already, it’s simple and natural: switch the “Mix Color” button from Palette Panel on or hold “X” on your keyboard to mix your color with another color. Press the selected color multiple times to add more color. The mix color mode is adaptive and the result color depends on the difference between two mixed colors.
Example: If you want your red color to be more orange in tint, click on the orange color swatch - the spectrum will move towards the red-orange tint. The more you click on the orange color, the more orange tint it gets.
From version 1.1, the user interface in Rebelle will automatically adapt to users’ high-resolution displays and their DPI (or correctly: PPI), so users of Microsoft Surface 3 Pro have nice big buttons.
Other features and changes are:
- Show/hide panels with the “Tab” key.
- When color is picked from the palette panel, brush tool is automatically selected afterward.
- Color picker shows previous and new color next to the cursor.
- Spinning wheel appears when opening and saving files.
- Click and drag on layers’ “Eye” in the Layers panel to show or hide multiple layers.
- Optimized memory usage.
- Brush cursor represents a continuous circle.
There are of course many significant bug fixes we’ve been striving to fix from the first version:
- High CPU usage when doing nothing fixed.
- Opacity issue when merging layers fixed.
- Jumping layers in the stack when merging layers or using undo fixed.
- Key shortcuts available from all panels.
- Fixed mouse buffering when picking color or blowing water.
- 1-pixel wide frame around picture removed.
- Pick color cursor visibility on Mac OS fixed.
If you haven’t downloaded version 1.1 yet, go ahead - the update is available on our Download page, free for all Rebelle users. Any feedback you can provide once you use it would be greatly appreciated.
Enjoy!

Any chance you guys will be implementing pressure sensitivity to vary the size of the brush strokes? I use a Wacom Cintiq and it would be great to have support for that. Also is there any way to zoom in and out of the canvas in smaller increments the jump in the sizes is just hard to deal with sometimes and would be nicer if you could zoom in better.
Hello Michael, thanks for your feedback. Sure we would like to implement both features to the future Rebelle's versions.
Fantastic! Can't wait :) It's already becoming my favorite go to painting app...but those features would surely be great to have...keep up the awesome work! Can't wait to see what the future holds for Rebelle!
In the 32-bit software, I can choose a whole bunch of paper colours, but not white. It would be perfect if I could choose a colour from the colour wheel, rather than be limited to the 100 choices which exclude white. There are 9 paper textures. How can I add to the paper texture library?
Hello Paul, sometimes the paper colors are not displaying properly. Please delete the whole "Colors" folder, close Rebelle and re-open. Colors folder can be reached via Rebelle menu: "Help" -> "Show Data Folder" -> "Colors". After this, the proper colors including white and shades of beige should load.
We will make it possible to add colors directly from "Select Paper" window.
You can add your own paper textures to Papers folder accessible via menu: "Help" -> "Show Data Folder" -> "Papers". The texture needs to be seamless (tileable).Re-open Rebelle to load the new textures.
Thank you! This software is beautiful! Here's my FB gallery - https://www.facebook.com/pa...
Hello Paul, thanks for the link! If interested, please send us the "Waiting" and "Quiet before the storm" art in full resolution at our email, we may promote it via our Facebook page (along with your credits and website, if you have any). Thanks!
