Fauve Software was a computer software software company that created Fauve Matisse and xRes, before being acquired by Macromedia.
History[]
Fauve was founded in 1992 by Fred Krueger and Richard Krueger in Raleigh, North Carolina. Their first product, Matisse, was released in 1993.[1]
After its acquisition of Fauve in August 30, 1995,[2] Macromedia briefly continued to market Matisse and xRes 1 from Fauve's existing product line. The features of Matisse's painting and layer features were combined with the xRes high-resolution image editing engine into Macromedia xRes 2.[3] Macromedia itself was acquired by Adobe Systems in December 2005.[4]
Legacy[]
Many of Matisse's and xRes's features were integrated into what became Macromedia Fireworks.[1][5]
