Publisher's description of ArtRage
ArtRage Starter Edition is a simple, stylish, and easy-to-use painting tool that lets you play with realistic paints on your computer. Using real world painting tools such as oil paints, pencils, felt pens and more you can create your own paintings or load in photographs as Tracing Images to recreate them by hand, letting ArtRage select the colors for you so that you can focus on the brush strokes.
Version 2.5.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Editor's review of ArtRage

- "ArtRage"
- Version reviewed: ArtRage 2.5.2
If it's time to take your sketchbook digital, check out this freehand-drawing app. ArtRage doesn't use preset shapes; instead, you can adjust the opacity, the width, and the color of each drawing tool. BMP, JPEG, or PNG files can be imported as ghosted images, allowing you to trace shapes and fill them in.
You can hide all the palettes with a right click to get more drawing area, then unhide them to switch brushes or colors. We didn't have a drawing tablet, but the speed of our mouse strokes seemed to affect how thickly the tool applied the medium. ArtRage allows you to send your masterpieces via e-mail or export them to the same BMP, JPEG, or PNG formats.
The interface isn't perfect, as the lack of tool tips made selecting a tool more a matter of guesswork than a choice. But despite this minor flaw, ArtRage provides an enjoyable drawing experience.

Version: ArtRage 2.5.2
Pros: Love how the icons/pallets sweep out of your way when you are editing.
Cons: I haven't purchased the program so I have nothing but good to say about the freebie!
Summary: I'm seriously thinking about purchasing the program so that I can make my own 'glitter!' It seems super simple and the price is right.
