These include stickers, cloners, glitters, blobs, sprays, stencils, symmetry painting, and pattern and gradient fills.ĪrtRage also offers tracing images, reference images, layers, blending modes, Wacom graphics tablet stylus support, and flexible import/export options for the most common file formats–including layered Photoshop PSD files. In addition to the traditional media tools–like brushes, pencils, pens, airbrush, and palette knife–ArtRage also comes with a load of fun, “new-media” special effects tools. Wet paint mixes together, brushstrokes show bristle texture, and watercolor strokes bleed and blend realistically. Not only do the tools in ArtRage look like their real-world counterparts, they behave like them, too. But underlying this are many powerful tools for advanced artists.ĪrtRage is available for Windows and Mac OS X desktop computers, and there are separate iOS apps for the iPad and iPhone as well. ArtRage’s user interface presents itself as a series of floating palettes and pods, where the tools look just like their real-world counterparts. About ArtRageĪrtRage is affordably priced (US$49.90 for new users) and easier to learn than many of its competitors such as Corel Painter. It’s been a few years since I took a close look at ArtRage, so I was excited to get a sneak peek at the new 4.5 version ahead of its release next week. On August 11, Ambient Design is releasing ArtRage 4.5, a milestone revision to its fourth edition of the traditional media art software.
ArtRage 4.5: Coming Soon from Ambient DesignĪrtRage is one of the more accessible art and painting programs I have had the privilege to review during my years as a graphics software evaluator.
