The Transform Tool lets you quickly change the scale, position, and rotation of objects on the canvas. There are also tooltips, a shortcut key for straight line drawing, and DPI support for all image formats. The new versions feature a Canvas Puck, which lets you navigate around your painting quickly. The airbrush is faster and more precise, the pencil lets you apply automatic smoothing to strokes, and all tools can use the new Real Color Blending mode that lets you mix colors more accurately, the company says. In addition, many of the old tools have new settings, including a new wet blender and a square oil brush head. You can store presets for each tool that let you find your previous settings quickly and easily, and assign them preview images for easy recognition. “Studio isn’t a cut-down, cheap ‘lite’ version of Studio Pro, it’s a complete product that provides what we believe is the best support for the mid-range of our user base.”ĪrtRage Studio features new tools, including stickers, a watercolor brush, an auto-smoothing inking pen, flood fill, a selection tool, a text tool that allows live text editing on layers, a special effect gloop pen, and other new items.

That is why both the Studio and Studio Pro versions contain the same painting tools, according to Fox-Wilson.

The result is now the Studio version, which is ideally suited for people who want to create art and don’t have a need for or interest in tweaking color values or precision layout, and the Studio Pro version, which retains internal filters, external filter support, feathered selections, sticker micro-layers, and other more-complex features. So rather than foist the entire feature set on everyone and demand that users learn about things like filtering, micro-layers, and all that stuff, we decided to split the higher-end features off into their own product,” Fox-Wilson explained.

We have had requests for a lot of higher-end features for years, but as we were adding them, it became apparent that the diversity of our user base meant that half of them would never use a number of the things we were doing. “The Studio/Pro range is a completely re-engineered product core that allowed us to add lots of new tools and features without bloating the product, and it contains nascent support for a number of features that we will be outlining in the future,” said Matt Fox-Wilson, creative director of Ambient Design. “The goal of keeping the product simple is what drove the decision to split the Studio version in two.
