If you are looking to make photo montage or use images in your paintings, you’ll need to first use a program like Paint.NET to prepare your images and import them. There’s no photo manipulation in ArtRage Studio Pro. You can open images to use as reference guides (and you can eye dropper select colors from these) or as a traceable image that’s placed on your canvas but doesn’t print or export with your image unless you want it to. These worked exactly like I expected, again intuitive and simple, yet useful. The features I really liked in ArtRage Studio Pro were the Layers, Trace, and Ref. Once you get the hang of the elegant yet unusual UI, it’s intuitive, and surprisingly ergonomic: Everything you need to paint is within a small, easy to find place. Unlike PD Artist, however, it’s very easy to find and set the kind of media you want to use, on the type of paper or canvas you want, and the effects are staggeringly good. Just like with digital painter PD Artist (and completely unlike real-life painting), the ArtRage tools aren’t constricted by the media-you can oil paint to your heart’s desire, then water color over the top.
If you are looking for spray on photo-realistic rocks and leaves, try PD Artist. Some of the sticker shapes are odd, and they don’t include things like tree leaves that you could actually use to create a realistic plant feel, like you can with $79 PD Artist’s brush effects. The two special effects tools that are part of ArtRage Studio Pro are the Glitter Tube (which smears glitter) and a Sticker Spray, which applies shapes like dice, fireballs, flowers, ladybugs, etc.
