ArtRage Studio Pro provides a range of painting tools designed to work like their real world counterparts, including traditional artistic tools such as: Oils that smear and blend on the canvas, Watercolor that can be applied on wet or dry paper, and Inking Pens that create crisp lines with optional auto-smoothing for removing the wrinkles that can occur in digital strokes. Studio Pro also includes utility tools such as Selection and Text. Stencils and Rulers let you mask areas of the canvas and create freehand precise lines using tools familiar from the art-studio. Stickers can be used
What's New
Version 3.5.1
  • Multithreading: 3.5 Studio and Studio Pro take advantage of multi-processor or multi-core processor systems to accelerate its tools and many of the time critical processes throughout the product.
  • Package Files:
  • Package Files: Package files allow you to gather together sets of custom resources such as stickers, presets, stencils and more in to a single data file that can be installed by other users with a double click. Package files make sharing content easy.
  • Scripting: ArtRage 3.5 sports a scripting system that allows you to record the process of your paintings for playback later either on your own system, or on another. Scripts can be played back at different resolutions, repainting the original image at a new size to avoid the artifacts that are generated by bitmap scaling. Scripts can also be annotated with notes and highlights, allowing the author to point out techniques and explain what's going on as the painting develops on the viewer's canvas.
  • Real Color Blending:The Real Color Blending system in ArtRage Studio Pro has been rewritten to improve blend results and speed.
  • Palette Knife Loading:The Palette Knife can now be loaded with paint before use.
Fixes:
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Support Issues: Fixed a crash that could occur on app startup for OS X 10.4 users.
  • Mac OS X 10.7 Panel Issues: Fixed a bug that could cause some panels on OS X 10.7 to appear in the wrong location when opening, or be too small or devoid of contents. This fix also ensures panels will only vanish during painting if you paint in to their region.
  • Scripting Issues:
    • Dropping an ARScript file on to the ArtRage window should now trigger script loading.
    • Corrected the Script File icon on OS X.
    • Fixed a problem with 'Wait (rVariable)' in manual script files.
    • Fixed a problem that prevented the sampler tool being manually scripted in stroke events.
    • Added SampleColour(x, y) to the script language to allow manual sampling of colour at a point.
    • Fixed a problem that could prevent script playback scaling the paper texture correctly when playing back a script at a different resolution.
  • Other Fixes:
    • Fixed a crash that could occur when open the Grain Picker and closing it without selecting a grain.

Wow what a nice app! It is a real pleasure to discover we can paint whit a computer. Like everybody I have been drawing since I was a child but I'm still drawing now on paper. Alongside with this I'm making photo of course and the best is that you can draw on photos and save it as jpg, tiff, PNG, BMP, very the coolest way for me to add effects on photos. Well, if you like to paint or drawing or just relax give it a try.

Note: the actual version is 3.5.4.

And on their website: Winter Sale: ArtRage Studio Pro for Windows and Mac OS X just $49.90 (normal price $80)!

GREAT SOFTWARE!! Very intuitive to use. The effects and structures of the brushes are amazing!

The great thing of ArtRage is the easy usage. As a beginner you can achieve incredible results with only using the default settings.

I'm used to the Adobe Creative Suite. But for illustrations I now use ArtRage! It integrates perfectly with Photoshop because you can export to PSD (with layers).

I'm amazed there are so few reviews on this... only two since I commented in 2006 ?! This app is sooo cool and pretty... yep that is the word... just upgraded to 3 Pro. This pretty much turns your screen into a canvas... Of course it is not so much fun without a Pen Table I guess.. but if you want to draw, paint, relax and make your computer into something a little more human... then get this :-) You might even get your kid off of GrandTheftAuto and avoid the child pyschiatrist ;-) Or show grandma the computer isn't so complicated after all... And if you are a designer (like me).. well.. put Photoshop aside for a little... Did I mention I love this app ?!? 50 stars

...or even better, put Painter aside! Artrage has grown pretty mature with version 3.

Artrage 3.0 is a must have in the digital artist toolbox. It will make you fall in love with art again and if you already are in love you will fall deeper and harder. It is a joy to play and paint with real world simulated tools like oil paint, the newly added watercolor, chalk, crayon, pencil, paint roller, artist airbrush, a newly added gloop tool, felt pens and the newly added illustrator's ink pen with auto smoothing and last, but not least, the amazing new stickers feature. Add shiny stickers to your artwork or load them in an object sprayer that sprays them out at an unbelievable rate and they can interact with other paint or mediums on your canvas. Add to this easier transform tools, a paint bucket type fill tool, selection tools, newly added text capability and now a real color blending mode.
This is an amazing upgrade to 2.5 which was an amazing program to begin with. The cost to value ratio is definitely on the side of the digital artist. One of the best buys for the money out there. It can and is used by professional artists and illustrators but is also a great tool for the amateur artist who will find it an invaluable tool to improving their art.

I find that Painter has become very dry over time, especially since the Corel years... less and less fun and more and more "palettish" and here you have ArtRage and its great ergonomy, not as powerful of course but but sufficient realworld paint/draw tools to do plenty. As for comments I read about resolution... not sure if pixels were limited in an earlier version... but I tried to set my page at 3508px X 4961px and it works (not quite real time but close on my G4... sure it'd be a breeze on a Quad G5 ) and that equates to an A3 page at 300 dpi... I would think it might suffice for most professional print uses LOL And it seems one could make one's page even much bigger (depending on Hardware of course). Yep very sweet app !!!!! It should be bundled with the OS... iPAINT LOL

Beautiful, elegant, responsive.

Teamed with a graphics tablet this is an app which reminds you of what it was like to paint with real paints on real canvas.

Stickers can be used to apply pre-made images to the canvas, or spray complex detail in a single paint stroke made up of thousands of objects which can then be post-edited for fine adjustment. ArtRage includes support for Layers and Blend Modes, along with PSD file import and export. Studio Pro also includes support for Photoshop Filters and has inbuilt blur and color adjustment so you can tweak your results before completion. ArtRage also comes in two other versions: ArtRage Studio and ArtRage 2.5 with prices and feature sets appropriate for different types of user. For more information visit the ArtRage homepage.
