ArtRage 4 Optimized for Touch Screens

ArtRage 4 offers unique touch-friendly workflow advantages optimized for pen tablet users.  The art creation app takes full advantage of Windows 8 multi-touch tablets, laptops, and desktops.  ArtRage 4 not only allows rotation, scale, and movement of the canvas with two fingers, but it can even utilize simple multi-touch gestures with layers, selections, rulers, stencils, stickers and reference images.  Whether using a pen, brush, drawing tablet, mouse or even a finger, ArtRage provides the experience of actually “painting” digitally on a computer canvas with oil paints that smear and blend, and watercolors that flow together to create soft, wet gradations, just as they would in a traditional art studio.
