Fixes

• We’ve addressed a problem that could cause errors when pasting content to a layer in a hidden group.
• We’ve made a change to tilt handling to fix a problem that could occur on some devices using Windows Realtime Stylus input where tilt values would be processed incorrectly.

Fixes

• Fixed some issues with Tilt processing on Surface devices and Stylus Profiles not properly updating the selected tool when you bring a stylus to the tablet on compatible devices.

This build resolves a problem with the colour sampler that could cause the interface to become unresponsive after sampling with Tap and Hold sampling was turned off.

Update Note: If you are updating to 1.6 from 1.4 or earlier, please shut down ArtRage fully and restart your iPad before using it the first time. This helps to avoid speed problems in first time setup that could cause ArtRage to shut down before fully opening the first time you launch it, and makes sure application preferences are clean for the new version.

New Features:

n
• Enhanced Stylus Support: ArtRage now supports the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus and TenOne Pogo Connect Stylus in addition to the original model Adonit Jot Touch.
n

n
• Optional Tap and hold color sampling: Due to requests from users we’ve made the tap and hold color sampling system optional. By default this is turned OFF. If you would like tap and hold to trigger the color sampler open the Settings app on your iPad and turn the preference on in the ArtRage section.
n

Fixes:

n
• Airbrush Stroke Issues: We have replicated and fixed a problem that could cause odd brush stroke behavior or harsh edged non-undoable strokes to be generated if changing color or accessing other interface elements rapidly after completing an airbrush stroke. This problem was most visible when the airbrush was in Autoflow mode. Thanks to the users who put in the time to help us track this one down!
n
• Changes to Save: We’ve made some changes to the save system to improve save speed. This may also assist in the rare cases we’ve seen reported where a file has failed to save properly.
n
• Import Popover Dismissal: We’ve fixed a problem that could cause the Import from Photos or Camera popup to remain visible in the Gallery when accessing other menu items without completing the import operation.
n
• Landscape Mode Drag: We have made some changes to stroke handling to fix a problem that could cause interface panels such as the tool picker and color picker not to get out of the way when you paint close to them.
n
• Color Sampler Hiding: Fixed a rare situation that could result in the color sampler being hidden during a sample operation if you dragged quickly enough up and over it.
n

New Features:

n
• Added touch and hold color sampler access. Tap and hold still on the canvas to trigger color sampling. Once the color sampler curve appears above your finger you can drag around to sample color from the canvas. Release the drag and the tool you had previously selected is restored.
n
• Adjusted panel behavior to prevent rogue paint dabs: To close a panel such as settings or samples just tap on the canvas. No paint event is processed until you do a second tap and drag.
n

Fixes:

n
• Fixed a problem that could cause landscape paintings not to fit screen dimensions by default when created.
n
• Adjusted gesture handling during stroke completion to prevent rogue gestures and paint strokes being generated if entered while a previous stroke is being processed.
n
• Fixed a problem that caused script export not to be available in the Export menu when running in Korean.
n
• Fixed a problem that could cause the canvas preview to be incorrectly positioned when first opening the New Painting dialog.

n

iOS 3 Note: ArtRage for iPad 1.4 works on iOS 4 or later. Due to a problem uploading the original 1.3.2 update, some iOS3 users may have been able to download it and found that it did not work. We are currently testing potential fixes that will allow us to do a final update for iOS3 to resolve it, after which time we will unfortunately be dropping iOS3 support.

Changes:

n
• Added full resolution interface for Retina iPad users, everything should be crisp and clear now.
n
• Fixed a problem that caused text entry boxes to have black text against a dark background when entering percentage values for sliders.
n
• Fixed a problem that could prevent cancellation of an attempt to link to a dropbox account when uploading to Dropbox.
n
• Adjusted help system buttons to allow dynamic sizing to fit contents when localized strings were too long to fit their original length.
n
• Prevented downloads on iOS3 while we work on a final iOS3 compatible build.
n

n
• Adds French, German, Japanese, and Korean localisations to the product.
n
• Fixes a bug that prevented Layer Opacity changes from being recorded by scripts.
n

New Features: 

n
• Upload to deviantART Stash: Upload your images directly to your deviantART account using the new sta.sh system. Details on sta.sh can be found here: Sta.sh – Enhanced Publishing Platform
n
• Upload to Facebook: Upload your images directly to your Facebook Photo Album.
n
• Upload to Dropbox: Upload painting files to your Dropbox account.
n
• New Export Options: Export PNG or JPG to the iTunes shared file space, PNG, JPG or native PTG via Email.
n
• Canvas Rotation: Added canvas rotation to the gallery so you can adjust the orientation of your paintings if you find you’ve been painting upside down…
n
• Gallery Interface: Simplified the Gallery Interface to collect all export functions in to a single menu and clarify general operation.
n
• Canvas Settings Interface: Adjusted the Canvas Settings interface to make it clearer. 
n

Fixes & Improvements:

n
• Increased the hit area of the Sampler toggle to make it easier to tap. 
n
• Menus should no longer resize when entering a sub menu, unless they need to expand.
n
• Removed script recording for orientation changes and UI show/hide to improve the appearance of playback of scripts on desktop machines.
n
• Fixed a potential crash when importing multiple paintings to the Photos app in quick succession.
n
• Added layer transparency changes and three finger swipe undo operations to scripted recording.
n
• Improved feedback for large export operations so that you know when you’re about to upload huge files online or send by email.
n
• Fixed a bug that could cause panels to lock partially transparent but inactive if you select an option from them quickly while they are fading (eg. select a preset then quickly select a second preset before the panel has finished vanishing).
n

New Features:

n
• ArtRage Script Recorder. With 1.2 you can record your paintings and play them back at higher resolution on a desktop machine using the Script Recorder. You can turn the Recorder on when creating a new file, and every stroke you paint will be recorded to a script file. Script files can be exported via iTunes or sent directly by email to play back in a desktop version of ArtRage.
n

n
• So why is playing back a script at higher resolution better than scaling up the whole painting? When you scale up a finished image the quality will generally be reduced because the app that’s scaling it doesn’t know what detail goes in between the pixels that make up the original. When you play back a script however, the entire painting is recreated stroke by stroke at a larger size, so the individual paint strokes retain their original quality. It’s as if you were painting it again from scratch, having chosen a larger tool and canvas.
nnn
• ArtRage Script Files exported from ArtRage for iPad are compatible with ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro.

n
• PNG Export: As well as emailing and saving copies of your paintings to the Photos app you can now export PNG copies direct to the shared file space in iTunes.
n

Improvements & Fixes:

n
• Updated the Help section on ‘Files’ to cover scripts and improve explanations of how to handle files in ArtRage.
n
• Added troubleshooting tips to the Help section for users who experience speed problems: Many speed problems can be solved very simply by following a couple of easy steps. See the Speed & Memory section in the help files!
n
• Adjusted Import Image to Layer to scale to fit the current canvas on import.
n
• Fixed a problem importing images larger than 1440 x 1440 to layers and references. All forms of image import should now correctly handle images of any available size.
n

Fixes:

n
• iOS 3.2 users can now use reference images, tracing images, and imported photos again.
n
• Imported photos on iPad 2 should no longer crop themselves incorrectly in the new canvas.
n

New Features:

n
• iPad 1 & 2: The ArtRage Painting File format (PTG) has been registered to allow you to load paintings in to ArtRage from other applications on your iPad that support file opening (Mail, for example).
n
• iPad 2: Camera support has been added to Importing Images, Importing to Layer, load Reference Images, and Tracing Images.
n
• iPad 2:  Maximum image size has been increased to 2048 x 2048.
n

Adjustments: 

n
• Adjusted the Back to Gallery button menu options. You can now save and save a duplicate directly from that menu, or return to the Gallery (which will prompt you if you need to save changes).
n
• Changed how the painting orientation system works, to ensure that the painting is upright if its aspect matches your device orientation, and at a reasonable angle if it doesn’t.
n
• Added a color sample under the finger when selecting colors in the color picker so you can see the resulting color more easily.

Fixes

• We’ve addressed a problem that could cause errors when pasting content to a layer in a hidden group.
• We’ve made a change to tilt handling to fix a problem that could occur on some devices using Windows Realtime Stylus input where tilt values would be processed incorrectly.

Fixes

• Fixed some issues with Tilt processing on Surface devices and Stylus Profiles not properly updating the selected tool when you bring a stylus to the tablet on compatible devices.

This build resolves a problem with the colour sampler that could cause the interface to become unresponsive after sampling with Tap and Hold sampling was turned off.

Update Note: If you are updating to 1.6 from 1.4 or earlier, please shut down ArtRage fully and restart your iPad before using it the first time. This helps to avoid speed problems in first time setup that could cause ArtRage to shut down before fully opening the first time you launch it, and makes sure application preferences are clean for the new version.

New Features:

n
• Enhanced Stylus Support: ArtRage now supports the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus and TenOne Pogo Connect Stylus in addition to the original model Adonit Jot Touch.
n

n
• Optional Tap and hold color sampling: Due to requests from users we’ve made the tap and hold color sampling system optional. By default this is turned OFF. If you would like tap and hold to trigger the color sampler open the Settings app on your iPad and turn the preference on in the ArtRage section.
n

Fixes:

n
• Airbrush Stroke Issues: We have replicated and fixed a problem that could cause odd brush stroke behavior or harsh edged non-undoable strokes to be generated if changing color or accessing other interface elements rapidly after completing an airbrush stroke. This problem was most visible when the airbrush was in Autoflow mode. Thanks to the users who put in the time to help us track this one down!
n
• Changes to Save: We’ve made some changes to the save system to improve save speed. This may also assist in the rare cases we’ve seen reported where a file has failed to save properly.
n
• Import Popover Dismissal: We’ve fixed a problem that could cause the Import from Photos or Camera popup to remain visible in the Gallery when accessing other menu items without completing the import operation.
n
• Landscape Mode Drag: We have made some changes to stroke handling to fix a problem that could cause interface panels such as the tool picker and color picker not to get out of the way when you paint close to them.
n
• Color Sampler Hiding: Fixed a rare situation that could result in the color sampler being hidden during a sample operation if you dragged quickly enough up and over it.
n

New Features:

n
• Added touch and hold color sampler access. Tap and hold still on the canvas to trigger color sampling. Once the color sampler curve appears above your finger you can drag around to sample color from the canvas. Release the drag and the tool you had previously selected is restored.
n
• Adjusted panel behavior to prevent rogue paint dabs: To close a panel such as settings or samples just tap on the canvas. No paint event is processed until you do a second tap and drag.
n

Fixes:

n
• Fixed a problem that could cause landscape paintings not to fit screen dimensions by default when created.
n
• Adjusted gesture handling during stroke completion to prevent rogue gestures and paint strokes being generated if entered while a previous stroke is being processed.
n
• Fixed a problem that caused script export not to be available in the Export menu when running in Korean.
n
• Fixed a problem that could cause the canvas preview to be incorrectly positioned when first opening the New Painting dialog.

n

iOS 3 Note: ArtRage for iPad 1.4 works on iOS 4 or later. Due to a problem uploading the original 1.3.2 update, some iOS3 users may have been able to download it and found that it did not work. We are currently testing potential fixes that will allow us to do a final update for iOS3 to resolve it, after which time we will unfortunately be dropping iOS3 support.

Changes:

n
• Added full resolution interface for Retina iPad users, everything should be crisp and clear now.
n
• Fixed a problem that caused text entry boxes to have black text against a dark background when entering percentage values for sliders.
n
• Fixed a problem that could prevent cancellation of an attempt to link to a dropbox account when uploading to Dropbox.
n
• Adjusted help system buttons to allow dynamic sizing to fit contents when localized strings were too long to fit their original length.
n
• Prevented downloads on iOS3 while we work on a final iOS3 compatible build.
n

n
• Adds French, German, Japanese, and Korean localisations to the product.
n
• Fixes a bug that prevented Layer Opacity changes from being recorded by scripts.
n

New Features: 

n
• Upload to deviantART Stash: Upload your images directly to your deviantART account using the new sta.sh system. Details on sta.sh can be found here: Sta.sh – Enhanced Publishing Platform
n
• Upload to Facebook: Upload your images directly to your Facebook Photo Album.
n
• Upload to Dropbox: Upload painting files to your Dropbox account.
n
• New Export Options: Export PNG or JPG to the iTunes shared file space, PNG, JPG or native PTG via Email.
n
• Canvas Rotation: Added canvas rotation to the gallery so you can adjust the orientation of your paintings if you find you’ve been painting upside down…
n
• Gallery Interface: Simplified the Gallery Interface to collect all export functions in to a single menu and clarify general operation.
n
• Canvas Settings Interface: Adjusted the Canvas Settings interface to make it clearer. 
n

Fixes & Improvements:

n
• Increased the hit area of the Sampler toggle to make it easier to tap. 
n
• Menus should no longer resize when entering a sub menu, unless they need to expand.
n
• Removed script recording for orientation changes and UI show/hide to improve the appearance of playback of scripts on desktop machines.
n
• Fixed a potential crash when importing multiple paintings to the Photos app in quick succession.
n
• Added layer transparency changes and three finger swipe undo operations to scripted recording.
n
• Improved feedback for large export operations so that you know when you’re about to upload huge files online or send by email.
n
• Fixed a bug that could cause panels to lock partially transparent but inactive if you select an option from them quickly while they are fading (eg. select a preset then quickly select a second preset before the panel has finished vanishing).
n

New Features:

n
• ArtRage Script Recorder. With 1.2 you can record your paintings and play them back at higher resolution on a desktop machine using the Script Recorder. You can turn the Recorder on when creating a new file, and every stroke you paint will be recorded to a script file. Script files can be exported via iTunes or sent directly by email to play back in a desktop version of ArtRage.
n

n
• So why is playing back a script at higher resolution better than scaling up the whole painting? When you scale up a finished image the quality will generally be reduced because the app that’s scaling it doesn’t know what detail goes in between the pixels that make up the original. When you play back a script however, the entire painting is recreated stroke by stroke at a larger size, so the individual paint strokes retain their original quality. It’s as if you were painting it again from scratch, having chosen a larger tool and canvas.
nnn
• ArtRage Script Files exported from ArtRage for iPad are compatible with ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro.

n
• PNG Export: As well as emailing and saving copies of your paintings to the Photos app you can now export PNG copies direct to the shared file space in iTunes.
n

Improvements & Fixes:

n
• Updated the Help section on ‘Files’ to cover scripts and improve explanations of how to handle files in ArtRage.
n
• Added troubleshooting tips to the Help section for users who experience speed problems: Many speed problems can be solved very simply by following a couple of easy steps. See the Speed & Memory section in the help files!
n
• Adjusted Import Image to Layer to scale to fit the current canvas on import.
n
• Fixed a problem importing images larger than 1440 x 1440 to layers and references. All forms of image import should now correctly handle images of any available size.
n

Fixes:

n
• iOS 3.2 users can now use reference images, tracing images, and imported photos again.
n
• Imported photos on iPad 2 should no longer crop themselves incorrectly in the new canvas.

Fixes

• We’ve addressed a problem that could cause errors when pasting content to a layer in a hidden group.
• We’ve made a change to tilt handling to fix a problem that could occur on some devices using Windows Realtime Stylus input where tilt values would be processed incorrectly.

Fixes

• Fixed some issues with Tilt processing on Surface devices and Stylus Profiles not properly updating the selected tool when you bring a stylus to the tablet on compatible devices.

This build resolves a problem with the colour sampler that could cause the interface to become unresponsive after sampling with Tap and Hold sampling was turned off.

Update Note: If you are updating to 1.6 from 1.4 or earlier, please shut down ArtRage fully and restart your iPad before using it the first time. This helps to avoid speed problems in first time setup that could cause ArtRage to shut down before fully opening the first time you launch it, and makes sure application preferences are clean for the new version.

New Features:

n
• Enhanced Stylus Support: ArtRage now supports the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus and TenOne Pogo Connect Stylus in addition to the original model Adonit Jot Touch.
n

n
• Optional Tap and hold color sampling: Due to requests from users we’ve made the tap and hold color sampling system optional. By default this is turned OFF. If you would like tap and hold to trigger the color sampler open the Settings app on your iPad and turn the preference on in the ArtRage section.
n

Fixes:

n
• Airbrush Stroke Issues: We have replicated and fixed a problem that could cause odd brush stroke behavior or harsh edged non-undoable strokes to be generated if changing color or accessing other interface elements rapidly after completing an airbrush stroke. This problem was most visible when the airbrush was in Autoflow mode. Thanks to the users who put in the time to help us track this one down!
n
• Changes to Save: We’ve made some changes to the save system to improve save speed. This may also assist in the rare cases we’ve seen reported where a file has failed to save properly.
n
• Import Popover Dismissal: We’ve fixed a problem that could cause the Import from Photos or Camera popup to remain visible in the Gallery when accessing other menu items without completing the import operation.
n
• Landscape Mode Drag: We have made some changes to stroke handling to fix a problem that could cause interface panels such as the tool picker and color picker not to get out of the way when you paint close to them.
n
• Color Sampler Hiding: Fixed a rare situation that could result in the color sampler being hidden during a sample operation if you dragged quickly enough up and over it.
n

New Features:

n
• Added touch and hold color sampler access. Tap and hold still on the canvas to trigger color sampling. Once the color sampler curve appears above your finger you can drag around to sample color from the canvas. Release the drag and the tool you had previously selected is restored.
n
• Adjusted panel behavior to prevent rogue paint dabs: To close a panel such as settings or samples just tap on the canvas. No paint event is processed until you do a second tap and drag.
n

Fixes:

n
• Fixed a problem that could cause landscape paintings not to fit screen dimensions by default when created.
n
• Adjusted gesture handling during stroke completion to prevent rogue gestures and paint strokes being generated if entered while a previous stroke is being processed.
n
• Fixed a problem that caused script export not to be available in the Export menu when running in Korean.
n
• Fixed a problem that could cause the canvas preview to be incorrectly positioned when first opening the New Painting dialog.

n
• 1.5.1: Fixed a problem that prevent Layer Blend Mode and Edit buttons being visible on the relevant panels for non-Retina iPad users.
n

iOS 3 Note: ArtRage for iPad 1.4 works on iOS 4 or later. Due to a problem uploading the original 1.3.2 update, some iOS3 users may have been able to download it and found that it did not work. We are currently testing potential fixes that will allow us to do a final update for iOS3 to resolve it, after which time we will unfortunately be dropping iOS3 support.

Changes:

n
• Added full resolution interface for Retina iPad users, everything should be crisp and clear now.
n
• Fixed a problem that caused text entry boxes to have black text against a dark background when entering percentage values for sliders.
n
• Fixed a problem that could prevent cancellation of an attempt to link to a dropbox account when uploading to Dropbox.
n
• Adjusted help system buttons to allow dynamic sizing to fit contents when localized strings were too long to fit their original length.
n
• Prevented downloads on iOS3 while we work on a final iOS3 compatible build.
n

n
• Adds French, German, Japanese, and Korean localisations to the product.
n
• Fixes a bug that prevented Layer Opacity changes from being recorded by scripts.
n

New Features: 

n
• Upload to deviantART Stash: Upload your images directly to your deviantART account using the new sta.sh system. Details on sta.sh can be found here: Sta.sh – Enhanced Publishing Platform
n
• Upload to Facebook: Upload your images directly to your Facebook Photo Album.
n
• Upload to Dropbox: Upload painting files to your Dropbox account.
n
• New Export Options: Export PNG or JPG to the iTunes shared file space, PNG, JPG or native PTG via Email.
n
• Canvas Rotation: Added canvas rotation to the gallery so you can adjust the orientation of your paintings if you find you’ve been painting upside down…
n
• Gallery Interface: Simplified the Gallery Interface to collect all export functions in to a single menu and clarify general operation.
n
• Canvas Settings Interface: Adjusted the Canvas Settings interface to make it clearer. 
n

Fixes & Improvements:

n
• Increased the hit area of the Sampler toggle to make it easier to tap. 
n
• Menus should no longer resize when entering a sub menu, unless they need to expand.
n
• Removed script recording for orientation changes and UI show/hide to improve the appearance of playback of scripts on desktop machines.
n
• Fixed a potential crash when importing multiple paintings to the Photos app in quick succession.
n
• Added layer transparency changes and three finger swipe undo operations to scripted recording.
n
• Improved feedback for large export operations so that you know when you’re about to upload huge files online or send by email.
n
• Fixed a bug that could cause panels to lock partially transparent but inactive if you select an option from them quickly while they are fading (eg. select a preset then quickly select a second preset before the panel has finished vanishing).
n

New Features:

n
• ArtRage Script Recorder. With 1.2 you can record your paintings and play them back at higher resolution on a desktop machine using the Script Recorder. You can turn the Recorder on when creating a new file, and every stroke you paint will be recorded to a script file. Script files can be exported via iTunes or sent directly by email to play back in a desktop version of ArtRage.
n

n
• So why is playing back a script at higher resolution better than scaling up the whole painting? When you scale up a finished image the quality will generally be reduced because the app that’s scaling it doesn’t know what detail goes in between the pixels that make up the original. When you play back a script however, the entire painting is recreated stroke by stroke at a larger size, so the individual paint strokes retain their original quality. It’s as if you were painting it again from scratch, having chosen a larger tool and canvas.
nnn
• ArtRage Script Files exported from ArtRage for iPad are compatible with ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro.

n
• PNG Export: As well as emailing and saving copies of your paintings to the Photos app you can now export PNG copies direct to the shared file space in iTunes.

This build resolves a problem with the colour sampler that could cause the interface to become unresponsive after sampling with Tap and Hold sampling was turned off.

Update Note: If you are updating to 1.6 from 1.4 or earlier, please shut down ArtRage fully and restart your iPad before using it the first time. This helps to avoid speed problems in first time setup that could cause ArtRage to shut down before fully opening the first time you launch it, and makes sure application preferences are clean for the new version.

New Features:

n
• Enhanced Stylus Support: ArtRage now supports the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus and TenOne Pogo Connect Stylus in addition to the original model Adonit Jot Touch.
n

n
• Optional Tap and hold color sampling: Due to requests from users we’ve made the tap and hold color sampling system optional. By default this is turned OFF. If you would like tap and hold to trigger the color sampler open the Settings app on your iPad and turn the preference on in the ArtRage section.
n

Fixes:

n
• Airbrush Stroke Issues: We have replicated and fixed a problem that could cause odd brush stroke behavior or harsh edged non-undoable strokes to be generated if changing color or accessing other interface elements rapidly after completing an airbrush stroke. This problem was most visible when the airbrush was in Autoflow mode. Thanks to the users who put in the time to help us track this one down!
n
• Changes to Save: We’ve made some changes to the save system to improve save speed. This may also assist in the rare cases we’ve seen reported where a file has failed to save properly.
n
• Import Popover Dismissal: We’ve fixed a problem that could cause the Import from Photos or Camera popup to remain visible in the Gallery when accessing other menu items without completing the import operation.
n
• Landscape Mode Drag: We have made some changes to stroke handling to fix a problem that could cause interface panels such as the tool picker and color picker not to get out of the way when you paint close to them.
n

n

New Features:

n
• Adjusted panel behavior to prevent rogue paint dabs: To close a panel such as settings or samples just tap on the canvas. No paint event is processed until you do a second tap and drag.
n

Fixes:

n
• Fixed a problem that could cause landscape paintings not to fit screen dimensions by default when created.

iOS 3 Note: ArtRage for iPad 1.4 works on iOS 4 or later. Due to a problem uploading the original 1.3.2 update, some iOS3 users may have been able to download it and found that it did not work.

n

New Features:

n
• ArtRage Script Recorder. With 1.2 you can record your paintings and play them back at higher resolution on a desktop machine using the Script Recorder. You can turn the Recorder on when creating a new file, and every stroke you paint will be recorded to a script file. Script files can be exported via iTunes or sent directly by email to play back in a desktop version of ArtRage.
n

n
• So why is playing back a script at higher resolution better than scaling up the whole painting? When you scale up a finished image the quality will generally be reduced because the app that’s scaling it doesn’t know what detail goes in between the pixels that make up the original. When you play back a script however, the entire painting is recreated stroke by stroke at a larger size, so the individual paint strokes retain their original quality. It’s as if you were painting it again from scratch, having chosen a larger tool and canvas.
nnn
• ArtRage Script Files exported from ArtRage for iPad are compatible with ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro.

n
• PNG Export: As well as emailing and saving copies of your paintings to the Photos app you can now export PNG copies direct to the shared file space in iTunes.

This build resolves a problem with the colour sampler that could cause the interface to become unresponsive after sampling with Tap and Hold sampling was turned off.

Update Note: If you are updating to 1.6 from 1.4 or earlier, please shut down ArtRage fully and restart your iPad before using it the first time. This helps to avoid speed problems in first time setup that could cause ArtRage to shut down before fully opening the first time you launch it, and makes sure application preferences are clean for the new version.

New Features:

n
• Enhanced Stylus Support: ArtRage now supports the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus and TenOne Pogo Connect Stylus in addition to the original model Adonit Jot Touch.
n

n
• Optional Tap and hold color sampling: Due to requests from users we’ve made the tap and hold color sampling system optional. By default this is turned OFF. If you would like tap and hold to trigger the color sampler open the Settings app on your iPad and turn the preference on in the ArtRage section.
n

Fixes:

n
• Airbrush Stroke Issues: We have replicated and fixed a problem that could cause odd brush stroke behavior or harsh edged non-undoable strokes to be generated if changing color or accessing other interface elements rapidly after completing an airbrush stroke. This problem was most visible when the airbrush was in Autoflow mode. Thanks to the users who put in the time to help us track this one down!
n
• Changes to Save: We’ve made some changes to the save system to improve save speed. This may also assist in the rare cases we’ve seen reported where a file has failed to save properly.
n
• Import Popover Dismissal: We’ve fixed a problem that could cause the Import from Photos or Camera popup to remain visible in the Gallery when accessing other menu items without completing the import operation.
n
• Landscape Mode Drag: We have made some changes to stroke handling to fix a problem that could cause interface panels such as the tool picker and color picker not to get out of the way when you paint close to them.
n
• Color Sampler Hiding: Fixed a rare situation that could result in the color sampler being hidden during a sample operation if you dragged quickly enough up and over it.
n

New Features:

n
• Added touch and hold color sampler access. Tap and hold still on the canvas to trigger color sampling. Once the color sampler curve appears above your finger you can drag around to sample color from the canvas. Release the drag and the tool you had previously selected is restored.
n
• Adjusted panel behavior to prevent rogue paint dabs: To close a panel such as settings or samples just tap on the canvas. No paint event is processed until you do a second tap and drag.
n

Fixes:

n
• Fixed a problem that could cause landscape paintings not to fit screen dimensions by default when created.

• Removed script recording for orientation changes and UI show/hide to improve the appearance of playback of scripts on desktop machines.
n
• Fixed a potential crash when importing multiple paintings to the Photos app in quick succession.
n
• Added layer transparency changes and three finger swipe undo operations to scripted recording.
n
• Improved feedback for large export operations so that you know when you’re about to upload huge files online or send by email.
n
• Fixed a bug that could cause panels to lock partially transparent but inactive if you select an option from them quickly while they are fading (eg. select a preset then quickly select a second preset before the panel has finished vanishing).
n

New Features:

n
• ArtRage Script Recorder. With 1.2 you can record your paintings and play them back at higher resolution on a desktop machine using the Script Recorder. You can turn the Recorder on when creating a new file, and every stroke you paint will be recorded to a script file. Script files can be exported via iTunes or sent directly by email to play back in a desktop version of ArtRage.
n

n
• So why is playing back a script at higher resolution better than scaling up the whole painting? When you scale up a finished image the quality will generally be reduced because the app that’s scaling it doesn’t know what detail goes in between the pixels that make up the original. When you play back a script however, the entire painting is recreated stroke by stroke at a larger size, so the individual paint strokes retain their original quality. It’s as if you were painting it again from scratch, having chosen a larger tool and canvas.
nnn
• ArtRage Script Files exported from ArtRage for iPad are compatible with ArtRage Studio and Studio Pro.

n
• PNG Export: As well as emailing and saving copies of your paintings to the Photos app you can now export PNG copies direct to the shared file space in iTunes.
n

Improvements & Fixes:

n
• Adjusted Import Image to Layer to scale to fit the current canvas on import.
n
• Fixed a problem importing images larger than 1440 x 1440 to layers and references. All forms of image import should now correctly handle images of any available size.
n

Fixes:

n
• iOS 3.2 users can now use reference images, tracing images, and imported photos again.
n
• Imported photos on iPad 2 should no longer crop themselves incorrectly in the new canvas.
n

New Features:

n
• iPad 2: Camera support has been added to Importing Images, Importing to Layer, load Reference Images, and Tracing Images.
n
• iPad 2:  Maximum image size has been increased to 2048 x 2048.
n

Adjustments: 

n
• Adjusted the Back to Gallery button menu options. You can now save and save a duplicate directly from that menu, or return to the Gallery (which will prompt you if you need to save changes).
n
• Changed how the painting orientation system works, to ensure that the painting is upright if its aspect matches your device orientation, and at a reasonable angle if it doesn’t.
n
• Added a color sample under the finger when selecting colors in the color picker so you can see the resulting color more easily.
n
• Turned of Smoothing on the Inking Pen and Precise Pencil by default to prevent pauses when calculating strokes.

This build resolves a problem with the colour sampler that could cause the interface to become unresponsive after sampling with Tap and Hold sampling was turned off.

Update Note: If you are updating to 1.6 from 1.4 or earlier, please shut down ArtRage fully and restart your iPad before using it the first time. This helps to avoid speed problems in first time setup that could cause ArtRage to shut down before fully opening the first time you launch it, and makes sure application preferences are clean for the new version.

New Features:

n
• Enhanced Stylus Support: ArtRage now supports the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus and TenOne Pogo Connect Stylus in addition to the original model Adonit Jot Touch.
n

n
• Optional Tap and hold color sampling: Due to requests from users we’ve made the tap and hold color sampling system optional. By default this is turned OFF. If you would like tap and hold to trigger the color sampler open the Settings app on your iPad and turn the preference on in the ArtRage section.
n

Fixes:

n
• Airbrush Stroke Issues: We have replicated and fixed a problem that could cause odd brush stroke behavior or harsh edged non-undoable strokes to be generated if changing color or accessing other interface elements rapidly after completing an airbrush stroke. This problem was most visible when the airbrush was in Autoflow mode. Thanks to the users who put in the time to help us track this one down!
n
• Changes to Save: We’ve made some changes to the save system to improve save speed. This may also assist in the rare cases we’ve seen reported where a file has failed to save properly.
n
• Import Popover Dismissal: We’ve fixed a problem that could cause the Import from Photos or Camera popup to remain visible in the Gallery when accessing other menu items without completing the import operation.
n
• Landscape Mode Drag: We have made some changes to stroke handling to fix a problem that could cause interface panels such as the tool picker and color picker not to get out of the way when you paint close to them.
n
• Color Sampler Hiding: Fixed a rare situation that could result in the color sampler being hidden during a sample operation if you dragged quickly enough up and over it.
n

New Features:

n
• Added touch and hold color sampler access. Tap and hold still on the canvas to trigger color sampling. Once the color sampler curve appears above your finger you can drag around to sample color from the canvas. Release the drag and the tool you had previously selected is restored.
n
• Adjusted panel behavior to prevent rogue paint dabs: To close a panel such as settings or samples just tap on the canvas. No paint event is processed until you do a second tap and drag.
n

Fixes:

n
• Fixed a problem that could cause landscape paintings not to fit screen dimensions by default when created.

New Features:

n
• ArtRage Script Recorder. With 1.2 you can record your paintings and play them back at higher resolution on a desktop machine using the Script Recorder. You can turn the Recorder on when creating a new file, and every stroke you paint will be recorded to a script file. Script files can be exported via iTunes or sent directly by email to play back in a desktop version of ArtRage.
n

n
• So why is playing back a script at higher resolution better than scaling up the whole painting? When you scale up a finished image the quality will generally be reduced because the app that’s scaling it doesn’t know what detail goes in between the pixels that make up the original. When you play back a script however, the entire painting is recreated stroke by stroke at a larger size, so the individual paint strokes retain their original quality. It’s as if you were painting it again from scratch, having chosen a larger tool and canvas.
