ProArtisan 2 is a development of the hugely successful Artisan series. ProArtisan 2 offers you something really special for a 256 colour art package.

Just look at some of the features:

• Fully multi tasking and RISC OS 2 & 3 compliant
• Works in a window on an image of any size or proportions (memory dependant)
• Works in any mode (switchable) but always retains a 256 colour reference image
• All tools work in zoom mode at any magnification
• Colour opacity can be selected and applies to brush and spray. You would only expect this in a 24 bit paint package
• Sprays - Plain, Clone and Sample - ideal for re-touching scanned images
• Fills - Plain, Circular and Angled with high quality Dither option
• Special Effects - Smudge (anti aliasing); Dopple (Pointillist effect); Smear &Diffuse
• Pencil, Inkpen and Magic Brush options - even better than the original
• Texture brushes - these are SUPERB. Rattan, Basket, Dimple, Slate, Stone Canvas etc..
• Blend option enables you to create colour sets for use in fills
• Drawing menu has standard shapes in solid or outline with definable line widths
• Text input using outline fonts
• Draw file import
• Visible grid option with optional lock
• Sprite options for cutting, drawing, distorting, rotating, scaling etc
• Magic Wand for cutting sprites
• Unique simplified print option
• Fully integrated frisket, defined by colour or shape, enables you to work only on selected areas. Most options can be used with the frisket - this feature is really powerful.
• A full complement of image processing features are provided in the form of filters which include Mono, Lighten, Darken, Contrast, Emboss, Block and Sphere

"ProArtisan 2... the most important graphics release of the year. The choice of effects and processes that you can apply to a picture could fill an article of its own. The Effects are a completely different ball game.. ..it's the best art package around..."
Acorn User

"..full of novel ideas for image production and manipulation. ..this innovative program threatens the majority of other painting packages designed for the Archimedes with extinction. ..much more advanced than other packages.. ..a highly sophisticated piece of software. It's magic. ProArtisan 2 is perhaps one of the most versatile painting packages that I have come across to date. Extremely powerful yet easy to use. The best yet."

"Computing within art departments suddenly came alive. ..a program which looks likely to leapfrog into the lead. This is a very sophisticated program.. ProArtisan 2 offers some excellent features.. ..impressive special effects.. Image and colour processing are superb.. ..even at full price it offers good value. The whole program feels very professional... made easy by the clear manual and useful tutorials.."

"ProArtisan 2 endeared itself to me immediately.. Frisket - This feature must surely be one of the main selling points of the package and its usefulness cannot be understated. ProArtisan 2's most impressive menu is certainly the the Process menu. I found ProArtisan 2 to be an absolute delight to use. It's fast, flexible and beautifully presented. This is how all art packages should be. Very highly recommended."
