Lake Forest Logic's "Macro paint" is currently the only Amiga paint
package that works in "dynamic" hi-res mode. In fact that's the ONLY
mode it works in. It's been out and available for a couple months. 
LFL is running ads for it in the Amiga magazines (in the USA anyway..)
usually with a NASA/Astronaut picture in HAM and Dynamic both with the
tagline "This is your Amiga on HAM... This is your Amiga on Macro paint...
any questions?"

Macro Paint allows for custom buttons in its interface that call
your own ARexx macros (thus the program's name), has all the familiar
"Dpaint" type painting tools,
but it's a little strange to work with since it has to refresh the
screen every now and then as you work with different colors. It 
imports both IFF24 and Dynamic pictures as well as the usual IFF
modes and, unlike DigiView 4.0 when working with Dynamic modes,
Macro Paint multitasks.  See your dealer.
