Kid Pix is a bitmap drawing program aimed at children. Originally created by Craig Hickman, it was first released for the Macintosh in 1989 and subsequently published in 1991 by Brøderbund. Hickman was inspired to create Kid Pix after watching his son Ben struggle with MacPaint, and thus the main idea behind its development was to create a drawing program that would be very simple to use. The product today retains much of the same principles as the original software created by Hickman in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The latest Mac and Windows versions of the product were developed by the owner and publisher of Kid Pix, Software MacKiev, who had been involved in development of Kid Pix versions since 2004 prior to acquiring the brand from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in October 2011. Hickman had no involvement with the development of Kid Pix from the early 2000s until late 2011 when he began consulting with Software MacKiev on the development of future editions. Kid Pix and all of the intellectual property, trademarks and copyrights associated with it are owned by Software MacKiev. == History == *1990 - Kid Pix Professional is released at a price of $25 with sound, color, the mixer tool, more stamps and bilingual menus in English and Spanish *Brøderbund offers to publish Kid Pix *March 1991 - Kid Pix 1.0 is released with impressive sales and reviews *1992 - Kid Pix Companion adds new features and QuickTime movies *1993 - Kid Cuts, a derivative of Kid Pix that allows for creation of special projects, is released *1994 - Kid Pix 2 distributes both Kid Pix and the Companion together *1994 - Kid Pix Fun Pack adds new stamps and hidden pictures *1995 - Kid Pix Studio is released by Broderbund *1998 - Kid Pix Studio Deluxe is released by Broderbund (re-released in 1999 after Broderbund was sold to The Learning Company) *2000 - Kid Pix Deluxe 3 is released by Broderbund/Riverdeep *2004 - Kid Pix Deluxe 4 is released by The Learning Company/Riverdeep *2004 - Kid Pix Deluxe 3X (Mac OS X Edition 1.0) is released by Software MacKiev *2006 - Kid Pix Deluxe 3X (Mac OS X Edition 1.1) by Software MacKiev adds iPod movies export and enhanced integration with iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, applications from the Apple's iLife application suite. *2008 - Kid Pix Deluxe 3X (Mac OS X Edition 1.2.3) by Software MacKiev fixes compatibility with a new version of QuickTime and adds compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" *2010 - Kid Pix Deluxe 3D (Mac OS X Edition 2.0) by Software MacKiev is a major upgrade, with path animation, 3D characters, movie backgrounds, and video narration *2011 - Kid Pix Deluxe 3D (Windows Edition) is released by Software MacKiev 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kid Pix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
