All for the low introductory price of $39.95!
Artisan contains all the elements of traditional scrapbooking — tags, stickers, word art, eyelets, various scissor cuts, framing features, and corner cutting – but in an easy-to-use digital format. Artisan has the added perks of those features exclusive to digital scrapbooking, such as brushes and overlays. An Image Editor allows the user to edit each image in detail, adjusting shadows, focus, color, and contrast. The program, which is compatible with the Windows operating system, is perfect for both beginners and tech-savvy users.
“Artisan 4.0 takes digital scrapbooking to the next level,” say Mike. “It has instant and intuitive features that make it easy for a beginner, but can also be used for advanced layouts and design, appealing to more advanced digital scrapbookers.”
Several key features of Artisan 4.0 include:
- Detailed Page Editing: Page editing options including arrangement, sizing, rotation, snap-to-grid, and rulers. Add journaling boxes that support full rich-text editing, with mixed fonts, colors, and styles, as well as text wrapping around page elements.
- Automatic Page Creation and Color Matching: Let the software figure out which pictures belong together on predesigned pages. Using the autopopulate feature, the software can save the user time by creating the entire book. Change the colors of everything else on the page to coordinate with the selected photo
- Photo Sourcing and Sharing: Source photos from a digital camera, scanner, or local folder, or pull photos from Flickr or Facebook. Share finished pages on Facebook or Flickr.
- Customization: Users can create their own elements and pages and save those to re-use. Downloadable art kits are also be available for download in the Panstoria Marketplace.
