Artweaver -- Paint With Natural Materials
Posted on Wednesday, August 09, 2006 at 2:31 PM by Randall
Artweaver is a powerful freeware paint program designed to let you paint on your computer as if you were painting with natural materials like chalk, pencils, etc. It's one of the more powerful freeware natural media painting programs out there, yet it is fairly easy to use.
Artweaver features include:
* Support of many different digital brushes e.g. chalk, charcoal, pencils...
* A wide variety of adjustment settings to customize the default brushes or to create new brushes.
* Standard image editing tools like gradient, crop, fill and selection tools.
* Support for the most common file formats like AWD (Artweaver), BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, TGA, TIFF, PNG, and PSD (no layer support).
* Transparency and Layers support.
* Effect filters like sharpen, blur, emboss and mosaic.
* Editable text layers.
* Pen Tablet support for a realistic feeling.
* History function to und/redo last editing steps.
* Expandable by Plug-In modules (Artweaver Standard).
* Support for many languages through language files.
The program is only a 0.4 version as of this writing, but it is already quite useful -- and it should only get more useful in future versions.
