MyArtTools Provides Precision Artist Tools for iPad Pro & Apple Pencil
A new article has been published at prMac.
MyArtTools Provides Precision Artist Tools for iPad Pro & Apple Pencil - Published on 05/29/18
New Hampshire-based indie developer, Pirate's Moon today announces MyArtTools 2.5, the important update to their popular drawing app. MyArtTools is designed exclusively for use with the iPad Pro and is optimized for the Apple Pencil. The app allows artists to take advantage of the exact precision of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil and the app's 16 drawing, sketching, and painting tools to create works of art on their device. Version 2.5 brings bug fixes and 30 GPU accelerated artistic filters.
Lyndeborough, New Hampshire - Independent developer, Pirate's Moon today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of MyArtTools 2.5, the important update to their popular drawing app, designed exclusively for use with the iPad Pro and optimized for the precision of the Apple Pencil. MyArtTools is the digital creative equivalent of an artist's painting canvas or drawing pad.
MyArtTools is perfect for creating quick studies or finished works. Users can create their drawings from scratch, or they can import images or capture live images using the iPad Pro's camera. The app is powered by both a 64-bit drawing engine and a vector drawing engine. Created by artist Richard Hoeper for artists, the app is designed to emulate real-life artistic media, which includes pastels, brushes, pencils, conte, and other artistic mediums.
"I am a 71 year old artist with a 50 year art career. When I went to art school there were no personal computers, and it wasn't until the Mac II came out with a color monitor (1987-ish), that I became interested in working on-screen," shares Richard Hoeper, creator of MyArtTools. "I was 41 and began using a program called Director developing interactive presentations and frame-by-frame hand-sketched animation. Director had a scripting language, which I learned how to write, and that was the beginning of my interest in programming. Over the years I taught myself how to code in several languages, eventually falling into Apple's Objective C and then Swift while working for an educational enterprise company."
MyArtTools supports multiple composition layers, with each tool creating its own layer. Clipping paths can be used to shape and extract images from one layer to a new layer. Layers can be combined into complex drawings. Use the included filters to modify any bitmap image layer. The tool properties panel can be used to adjust the various tool layer controls. Users can create, save and reuse gradients.
Features include:
* Requires any model iPad Pro
* Optimized for the Apple Pencil
* Emulates real-life artistic media
* Intuitive interface
* Multiple layers for precise composition control
* Captures images from the iPad cameras
* Imports images from the iPad Photos app
* Crop and share creations with all your social networking accounts
* Save high resolution PNG images to iCloud, the Files app, DropBox, etc.
* Within the app, save layered files of works-in-progress
* Reopen saved layered files
* Use clipping paths to extract images from layers
* Combine layers into one image
* Extensive help files
* Help files are localized for English, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese
* Privacy: MyArtTools collects no information from the user. None. Zero.
Using MyArtTools, artists can create beautiful sketches and paintings anywhere. Works-in-progress can be saved as layered files. Finished works can be saved as high resolution PNG files to iCloud, the Files app, Dropbox, and other storage options. Finished works can also be shared with friends and family on any of the popular social networks.
Artists can work in bitmap drawing mode or in vector drawing mode. Each mode offers a wide-ranging set of tools and features.
Bitmap Drawing:
* Highly responsive 64bit drawing engine
* Exceptional 64-bit color
* 12 Tools emulating real-life artistic media
* Each tool is a separate layer
* Adjustable layer hierarchy
* Adjustable properties for each tool
* Over 30 GPU accelerated artistic filters
* Save and reopen working files
* Multiple color palettes (fixed or custom)
* Eyedropper color selection
* Convert images to drawing tools
Vector Drawing:
* 64bit vector drawing engine
* Pre-defined and custom shape creation
* Vector clipping paths
* Vector based text tool
* Save and reopen custom gradients
Hoeper was always frustrated with the iPad drawing apps he'd used, they failed to provide digital equivalents of the tools he used with his drawing pad. None of the apps gave him the feeling of using pastels, brushes, conte and other media. With the release of the iPad 2 in 2011, Hoeper developed a proof-of-concept for a drawing app but was frustrated with attempting to create precision drawing tools when a finger or standard stylus was used as a drawing tool. The precision just wasn't there. Then came the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, which were game changers for the artist.
"When I first saw the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, I knew my dreams had come true," shares Richard. "I'm proud of the results of my work, the app's tools look quite similar to what can be found on canvas or paper in any artist's studio. The debut of the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil helped the app come into its own. It has taken two years to mature the app in Swift, and to refine it down to the artistic tools that version 2.5 offers."
What's New in 2.5:
* Minor updates and bug fixes
* Requires any iPad Pro
* Optimized for the Apple Pencil - iPad Pro combination
* Crop and share creations with all your social networking accounts
* Save high resolution PNG images to iCloud, the Files app, DropBox, etc.
* Use clipping paths to extract images from layers
* Over 30 GPU accelerated artistic filters
* Fully supports retina screens
Hoeper is developing an online sci-fi graphic novel called "The Dimensional Parser Chronicles." All graphic layout of the novel is being done in MyArtTools. Work is currently being done on Chapter 1, and Hoeper is completing pages as time permits. The artist invites interested observers to visit the website and click on the "Story" link. The pages provide an excellent example of what can be accomplished using MyArtTools and the Apple Pencil.
Device Requirements:
* Any Model iPad Pro
* Requires iOS 11.0 or later
* 43.5 MB
Pricing and Availability:
MyArtTools 2.5 is only $4.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Potential buyers of the app should note that MyArtTools requires an iPad Pro, and is optimized for use with the Apple Pencil. Review copies are available upon request to members of the press.

With the release of the iPad 2 in 2011, Hoeper developed a proof-of-concept for a drawing app but was frustrated with attempting to create precision drawing tools when a finger or standard stylus was used as a drawing tool. The precision just wasn't there. Then came the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, which were game changers for the artist.
"When I first saw the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, I knew my dreams had come true," shares Richard. "I'm proud of the results of my work, the app's tools look quite similar to what can be found on canvas or paper in any artist's studio. The debut of the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil helped the app come into its own. It has taken two years to mature the app in Swift, and to refine it down to the artistic tools that version 2.5 offers."
What's New in 2.5:
* Minor updates and bug fixes
* Requires any iPad Pro
* Optimized for the Apple Pencil - iPad Pro combination
* Crop and share creations with all your social networking accounts
* Save high resolution PNG images to iCloud, the Files app, DropBox, etc.
* Use clipping paths to extract images from layers
* Over 30 GPU accelerated artistic filters
* Fully supports retina screens
Hoeper is developing an online sci-fi graphic novel called "The Dimensional Parser Chronicles." All graphic layout of the novel is being done in MyArtTools. Work is currently being done on Chapter 1, and Hoeper is completing pages as time permits. The artist invites interested observers to visit the website and click on the "Story" link. The pages provide an excellent example of what can be accomplished using MyArtTools and the Apple Pencil.
Device Requirements:
* Any Model iPad Pro
* Requires iOS 11.0 or later
* 43.5 MB
Pricing and Availability:
MyArtTools 2.5 is only $4.99 USD (or an equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category. Potential buyers of the app should note that MyArtTools requires an iPad Pro, and is optimized for use with the Apple Pencil. Review copies are available upon request to members of the press.

LinkOptimizer for Adobe InDesign at 50% off on BitsDuJour until May 30
A new article has been published at prMac.
LinkOptimizer for Adobe InDesign at 50% off on BitsDuJour until May 30 - Published on 05/29/18
Zevrix Solutions announces that LinkOptimizer, the company's workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign, is available at 50% off on the discount website BitsDuJour until May 30 only. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer allows users to reduce InDesign link size and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data. The app also can convert colors and image file formats, perform image adjustments, run Photoshop actions, batch process InDesign files and more.
Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions announces that LinkOptimizer, the company's workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign, is available at 50% off on the discount website BitsDuJour until May 30 only. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs. The discount lets users save $130 on each license of LinkOptimizer.
"Today LinkOptimizer batched a huge book project and another magazine project in minutes vs. hours. Now I can take the afternoon off and drink beer," says Brian Donahue, owner of Bedesign studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Thanks for freeing up my afternoon, rather than doing production work."
LinkOptimizer works automatically with Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:
* Optimize dozens of InDesign files
* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK
* Resave JPEGs as TIFF
* Assign variable image names based on page number, color, date and other values
* Run a Photoshop action on each image
At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer reimports images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. In addition, the software can batch process dozens of InDesign files with one click, merge and delete layers, and process document copies instead of original files. As a result users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.
Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from BitsDuJour at 50% off for $129.95 (USD) until May 30 only. Trial is also available for download. LinkOptimizer requires macOS 10.7-10.13 and Adobe InDesign/Photoshop CS3-CC 2018.
