I thought that this was the only problem for me.īefore buying the 6th version of the program, I found the same brakes when turning and enlarging the canvas. Hey! Finally, someone wrote about this problem.
#Artrage rotate canvas pro#
It feels like I'm working with the handbrake on, which i don't like.Īrtrage Vitae 7.1.2, macOS Big Sur 11.5.1, iMac 27" 2019, 3,7 Ghz 6-Core i5, 32GB Ram, Radeon Pro 580X 8GB, Wacom Intuos Pro Medium
#Artrage rotate canvas full#
Is it possible that ArtRage has a poor implementation of GPU support for macOS? I know that the brush strokes and maybe the image itself is calculated with the CPU, but the canvas itself is displayed over the full GPU acceleration right? Is this also in ArtRage?Ĭan this lag be fixed in the future or is there a workaround? (my GPU power is comparable to a Nvidia GTX 1070) In my opinion it can't be due to my hardware power, which is not really bad. For comparison i use other drawing programs with more than double the resolution and 5-10 more layers, and it is fast there, no tiny lag. Canvas size was A4: 3507x2481 and 300dpi with two layers. I need this function very often and it must feel fast and smooth! It doesn't matter if I rotate/zoom/move with touch from wacom or via mouse. If you’re looking for an affordable and simple way to get into digital painting, try ArtRage out.The performance as ArtRage Vitae zooms, rotates and moves the canvas is not very smooth and delayed. Like most other painting software, it is usable with a mouse, but shines when used with a pen tablet or a touchscreen. The attractive price tag doesn’t hurt, either. Polaroid-like Views of your work keep the big picture in view while zooming in for detail work.ĪrtRage feels deep and capable, but remains accessible and easy to start with. The same concept is used to show pieces of scrap canvas or other files for reference. Unlike its real-world counterpart, you can also change a View’s size, and zoom in or out on its contents. Just like a physical Polaroid, you can drag the View around and rotate it. A View works like a little Polaroid snap of your painting that lies on top of your canvas while you zoom in to work on the details. ArtRage helps avoid this by offering a feature called Views. When watching videos made with SpeedyPainter, I noticed just how often artists would zoom in and out, again and again, to get a sense of how the work is progressing. When zooming in for detail work, it often helps to keep the big picture in mind. ArtRage supports layers, too, and you can blur individual layers, adjust their blend modes, change their textures, and more. Stencils and rulers are made to look like physical objects lying on top of your canvas: You can drag them around and resize them, but they look like pieces of plastic or metal. Symmetry makes it possible to create interesting, kaleidoscope-like drawings, while stencils and rulers let you constrict your work in interesting ways, for a more accurate, geometric look. Once you get used to the friendly interface and simple tools, it’s time to start playing around with some of the more creative features. Stencils and rulers make it easy to constrain your work.
While most of the interface is touch-friendly, it’s not all quite there yet: Adjusting layer opacity still requires the keyboard, for example. You can pan, zoom, and rotate the canvas with two fingers, making for a very natural workflow.
Other tools show up as floating panels, which are easy to drag and resize using large, comfortable grippers, and automatically wink out of existence as you paint near them.
Radial toolbars at the bottom two corners of the screen let me quickly switch tools and adjust colors without fiddling with menus. I tested it with a simple stylus and one of the new breed of touchscreen-enabled laptops, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. Paint over an area again, and colors will blend, leaving visible brush strokes.ĪrtRage’s interface is simple to pick up, with most functions in easy reach. Paper and brush both have textures load your brush with paint and draw it across the canvas with one long stroke, and it will gradually fade out. Much like Corel Painter Lite and its older sibling, Corel Painter, ArtRage simulates natural media. The Symmetry feature makes for interesting paintings that sometimes look like koalas.
