The release of ArtWorks 2.8 marks another another milestone in the development of the platform's most popular advanced graphics illustration package. ArtWorks 2.8 builds on the strength of an unrivalled and mature feature set resulting from more than eleven years of development by MW Software, incorporating many suggestions by home and professional users. With its new PDF import capabilities (details) designs created on other platforms are only a mouse click away from being edited in ArtWorks, including multiple pages, graduated fills, transparency, clipping and CMYK colours. This opens up a whole new world of opportunities for getting designs into ArtWorks.

Its direct PDF export capabilities make ArtWorks 2 the only RISC OS program that can create PDF files with full CMYK colour support, high-quality masked sprites of any colour depth and advanced graphical effects such as graduated fills and transparency.

In the RISC OS universe ArtWorks files can be rendered directly by many applications thanks to the AWRender2 module, distributed as part of the free ArtWorks Viewer. This module enables third-party RISC OS applications to render all your designs exactly as ArtWorks 2.8, including advanced transparency effects.

ArtWorks 2.8 makes the creation of high-quality graphics easier than ever, both for home and professional users. Find out more about ArtWorks 2 and the complete ArtWorks 2.8 feature set in the ArtWorks 2 section.

ArtWorks 2 was voted Best commercial software of 2004 and Best commercial software of 2005 by readers of the popular Drobe news portal.
