The record

Product: Sable Paint is a GPU-native digital painting application for Windows and macOS, built with Rust and wgpu.
Painting engine: Its brushes pick up and drag existing colour and build height on the canvas, with 16-bit precision and an 8-bit fallback.
Brushes: The brush editor includes controls for shape, scatter, jitter, blending, colour, height, texture and masking, plus pressure curves and material-point simulation.
Layers: Layers support height, 28 blend modes, 27 non-destructive adjustment layers, groups, masks and clipping.
Glaze: Glaze layers simulate transparent pigment that pools in canvas relief, and Spectral Glaze composites across 38 wavelength bands.
Stamp Forge: Stamp Forge generates procedural brush tips without models or training data, and its shareable code reproduces the same tip.
Tools: The toolbar includes brush, eraser, fill, gradient, liquify, eyedropper, text, crop, pan, zoom and seven selection tools.
Adjustments: The product lists 27 non-destructive adjustments, including Curves, Levels, HSL, Color Lookup, Film Grain and Halftone.
AI: The maker says Stamp Forge uses procedural code with no model or training set and labels the product as having no generative AI.
Account and watermark: The free edition requires no account and adds no watermark.
Support and updates: Studio's licence key is sent by email, and the maker offers one email per release with release notes.
Windows requirements: Windows requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 or later or Windows 11, and a dedicated graphics card with 8 GB VRAM and DirectX 12 or Vulkan support.
macOS requirements: macOS requires version 12 Monterey or later and Apple Silicon M1 or later; Intel Macs are not supported.
Interface languages: The maker lists ten interface languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.
