\item An advanced, highly usable user interface
\item Loading and Saving images from and to standardized formats (such as .png, .bmp or .jpg)
\item Drawing with a pen with adjustable width and color, clearing the whole canvas with one color and drawing lines, flood-filling similiar pixels, creating rectangles, circles and polygons
\item A layer structure, that allows for creating, deleting, moving and changing the order of layers
