Right now there's no way to bring in any brushes or sprites from an outside
application.  Any attempt to do so (like animating a brush over a still
from within DPaint 3, will cause all kinds of tearing and other distortions
to the image).  I have succeeded in putting TEXT over an image without it
damaging the image, but the text came out black.
 
Depending on the image, you'll notice severe "banding" when viewing a
3plane image.
 
Supposedly v1.1 is supposed to be out at the end of June, but I'm going to
give a call to Digital Creations to check on this.
 
You'd have to talk to Digital Creations about the developer's package.  If
they want 3rd party vendors to support their product, they'll play ball.
 
I'm not a programmer, so I won't comment on #6 (Dual playfield).
