Artstudio Pro - Desktop

Artstudio Pro Desktop combines digital painting, layers, photo adjustments and imported brush resources in a Mac graphics editor.

Our take

Pick for painting and mixed image-editing work with customizable brushes.

A brush editor, masks and adjustment layers support both illustration and retouching.

Keep in mind: Large canvas and unlimited-layer claims remain constrained by memory and hardware. Imported Photoshop resources may need adjustment rather than perfect one-to-one behavior.

  • Paint with editable brushes and symmetry
  • Use masks, groups and adjustment layers
  • Import brush resources and export common image or PSD formats

Good for

  • Artists combining painting and photo-based compositions.
