• Add impact with a ready-to-go stencil (p. 201)
The Stencils tab provides a wide selection of ready-to-go stencil
templates—designs include birds, people, plants, shapes, and more.
The stencils are quick and easy to use, and provide endless
opportunities for creativity. Simply drag and drop your chosen stencil
onto your page, then paint over it with the Brush tool, or use it to cut
out a design from a photograph.
• Design, print, and upload in high-resolution
In CraftArtist, 300dpi native working is the norm. All craft items are
high-resolution so quality is guaranteed. Printing and upload at
300dpi gives truly outstanding high-quality output.
• Layer work made easy
For greater design control, store items on layers—work on items on one
layer without affecting items on other layers. Layers can be created,
merged, and hidden, and display a hierarchical tree view of associated
items for easy selection. Apply paper textures to layer items (p. 148)!
Ease of use
• Total ease of use
Tabbed, collapsible, and dockable Studio tabs are always at hand.
Choose from preset colours, line styles, brushes, and effects, or create
your own. Use tabs to arrange, transform, and align items.
• Context toolbars
Context toolbars offer different tools and options depending on the
currently selected item. Great for efficiency and simplifying your
workflow.
• Design aids (p. 70)
Rotate your canvas through any angle, just like an artist would do in
real life. For more focused design, use Solo Mode to work on items in
isolation. Use the Rule of Thirds tool on your photos or on your
project's pages for improved page composition.
