Artrage 5. update#

4.5 was no slouch, but it would usually take 10-15 seconds to open on my desktop computer. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly quickly version 5 opened. Yes, score! IвЂ™ve been putting it through its paces for the past few weeks, looking for new features, bugs, whatever little tidbits I could find that struck a chord with me. So, I threw my hat in the ring, and a few days later, the lovely Hannah from Ambient Design got back to me with a code for a free review copy. I could get something I was prepared to pay for вЂ“ not that they needed to know that вЂ“ for the cost of a review? Something I would have chatted about anyway? Yes, please.

I was all ready to plop down my money for an upgrade (once youвЂ™re a user, you get new versions for 50% off, or so it has been since IвЂ™ve been using it) when I noticed that they were offering review copies. So, I went over to the ArtRage site and found my suspicions confirmed.

Artrage 5. update#

I noticed a few weeks ago that it had been awhile since IвЂ™d gotten an update to my 4.5 install, and I thought that perhaps the next version was out or would be soon. ItвЂ™s not the only tool in my tool belt (I also have Manga Studio, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Paint.NET), but itвЂ™s the one that I use almost exclusively for illustration work. I started off with 3.x and moved onto 4.x when it came out. As any reader of the blog knows, IвЂ™ve been an ArtRage user for years.
