ArtRage for iPhone – Temporarily Free

ArtRage for iPhone is a very popular app for iPhone photography, just recently we interviewed the incredibly MaryJane Sarvis who used this app, along with others, in the image below.

ArtRage doesn’t just place color on a canvas, it keeps track of how much paint there is and how wet it is, so you can blend colors under the brush as you paint without changing to a blending tool, or lay down thick lines of pigment for flattening and smearing with the Palette Knife.

Canvas grain affects the look of your strokes, and drier pigments break up on the surface to create textured effects. It’s not just a special effect, it’s a live simulation of the properties of real paint.

Add Layers to your painting to work on individual elements without damaging others. Import photos to smear around like oil paint, or as Tracing Images that are overlaid on the canvas, and have ArtRage select colors from them automatically as you paint.

This app usually retails for $1.99/£1.49 but today you can pick it up for free, Click here to download.

    Disappointed to learn ones files are no larger than 320 x 480, or 640 x 960 (Retina display only), this renders the program useless. It would have been a wonderful addition to anyone’s toolbox.

      agreed!. while it’s great that it’s free right now . . . the fact that they normally ask $1.99 for such a low res app is “ArtRageous” !

      Egmont, I noticed your comment here. I use Artrage on my iPad. It’s much more comprehensive and delivers at much higher resolution. Highly recommended.
