What's New

Here are just some of the new features in Artisan 5

  • Be Super Organized with Font Manager
    The new Font Manager allows you to manage large font collections. You can create categories to group your fonts so that you can find just the right font for your project with a couple clicks. This new feature is optional—if you prefer just one long alphabetical list of font names, the choice is yours.
  • Unleash Your "Inner Artisan" with New Effects
    Blend and mask effects provide endless new options to use with photos, papers, and embellishments. You can also use various brushes on individual elements, drawing across borders and even brush across the whole page using a transparent canvas. Your "creative license" has just been expanded!
  • Master Your Photos and Images
    You can now edit individual photos and images right in your project with the full embedded Artisan Image Editor. Touch up photos, add cool effects, or even change colors of the photo or image with just a few clicks. What's more, with the expanded selection capabilities (e.g., shape, lasso, wand), you can apply artistic endeavors to only portions of your images if you wish. Move over Andy Warhol!
  • Create Without the Clutter
    Now your digital craft room is easier to use than ever. The page stays visible even when you are using the creative menu tools. That's because the menu options appear to the right of your workspace as you work—no more annoying dialog boxes to move around as you try to see how the adjustments affect your page.
  • Design at Lightening Speed
    Artisan 5 uses the full power of the computer’s graphics processor, resulting in much faster display of pages, application of various filters, moving and resizing elements and so on. It's like having a speedy artistic assistant to help you move things around!

There are many more surprises to discover in this new version of Artisan. As Picasso once said, "Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist." Have fun discovering all the features of Artisan 5 and developing your own work and design style for your projects.
