More about ArtWorks 2.

The PostScript 3 printer driver is a joint project by John Tytgat and Martin Würthner. It offers significantly improved PostScript output quality from RISC OS applications, most notably for text and bitmap images. This includes both printing to a physical PostScript printer and using the PostScript driver for PDF generation, e.g., from OvationPro, Impression or EasiWriter.

ArtWorks 2 - Creating stunning graphics has never been easier!

ArtWorks 2.XI builds on the strength of an unrivalled and mature feature set resulting from more than fourteen years of development by MW Software, incorporating many suggestions by home and professional users.

ArtWorks 2 can import multi-page PDF files with advanced features like graduated fills, transparency, clipping and CMYK colours, and 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. Another unique feature is the ability to export illustrations as CMYK bitmaps or alpha masked bitmaps.

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.X, including advanced transparency effects and shadows.

ArtWorks 2.XI 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.XI feature set in the ArtWorks 2 section.

ArtWorks 2 was voted Best commercial software of 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 by readers of the popular Drobe news portal.
