Media attention
MyPaint was used by David Revoy, the art director of Sintel (the third film project in computer graphics by the Blender Foundation, code-named Project Durian).
Saving files format
Since 2006, the Adobe PSD format changes its license; it was just permitted to develop PSD format in order to interact with Adobe software. Therefore a complete graphic design format, Open Raster, was developed based on the Open Document format. Mypaint uses Open Raster as its default format, but also supports saving images to PNG or JPG.
