In case it’s hard to read, the caption is:

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Latest version bug
on: December 14, 2024, 03:21:25 PM
I just saw that the latest version is 5.2.3 and was released about a week ago. That is right when my brush lines became jagged. It looks like an anti aliasing problem to the best of my understanding.

This inability to draw a smooth line is rendering the entire app unusable.

I’ve left several messages but have received no replies. I’m hoping this can be addressed soon.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Jagged Lines
on: December 08, 2024, 04:40:39 PM
Just recently, my lines started being jagged instead of smooth. Sample attached. I think I may have done something to cause this, but cannot figure out what. Does anyone know what happened and how to fix this?
Thanks,
Rob

Help / Grid selection grayed out
on: November 21, 2024, 01:36:40 AM
I’ve used the grid selection many times on many projects. Now, suddenly, I click on view/show and all the grid selections are grayed out. But, only for this one project. All my other projects show the selection and the grid when I click on it. What could possibly be causing the grid not to work on this project?

Help / Creating folders in the document browser
on: November 18, 2024, 01:26:44 AM
Is is possible to create folders in the document browser in order to organize documents by category? I cannot find any instructions on how to do this.

NOTE:
I have figured this out since posting this question. There were a couple things at play.
First, I was using the “Recents” page instead of the File Browser. They look almost identical, so easy to mix up. To find the File Browser, you must click on the i Cloud Drive prompt on the left side of the screen. The Recents prompt is also on the left side of the screen above the I Cloud Drive location. When you click on I Cloud Drive, look for the back and forward arrows on the upper left. Click until you get a page with all your files on it. It will be called Artstudio Pro. (See attached image)

Then, there is a file icon with a + at the top of the page. Click on that and a folder will appear. Give it a name.

Then, choose a file to go into the new folder. Hold your finger on the file you want to move into the folder until a menu drops down. From that menu click “move”.

The rest is pretty intuitive.

Help / Outline type

Is there a way to create an outline version of a typeface in Artstudio Pro?

Help / Organizing your library of work
on: March 30, 2024, 07:35:41 PM
Iv’e finally got to the point where I have quite a few pieces of work done using this program. It has sneaked up on me that I have too many files in the library. Some are unfinished versions of finished work that I’d like to keep. Others are idea sketches for future work. And many others are finished drawings that relate to other specific projects, such as a series for a kid’s book. I’m looking for ideas and tips on how best to file my work. Is there a way to create categories by folder and store them that way?

Help / Two finger gesture
on: October 04, 2023, 01:27:10 AM
My two finger gesture for Undo quit working. It is still turned on in settings, but it doesn’t work. Anybody out there know why this is happening, and how to fix it?

Help / drawing pad
on: April 11, 2023, 02:34:16 PM
I've always worked on my iPad. But, I'd like to try working on my iMac using a drawing pad. I'd love to find a place where I could actually try one before buying, but cannot find any place that provides a demo. I'm just learning about them, and it appears that the basic differences fall between those that do not show an image on the pad, and those that do. Those that do, being more expensive.

Does anyone out there have any insight or advice for a newbie at this who would like to give it a try?

Help / Bending a straight line
on: April 11, 2023, 01:36:34 PM
Is there any function that allows you to take a straight line and slightly bend it? “Transform” allows you to move it around, but not bend it.

Help / Gestures
on: March 04, 2023, 11:08:18 PM
I’ve run across a very odd situation I can’t figure out. I’ve always been able to tap with two fingers and a paint or other move that I’ve made is undone. But, suddenly, that has stopped working. Now, I have to tap the “back”arrow to undo something I’ve done. What could have changed? And, how do I get the undo gesture with two fingers back?

UPDATE: After about two days of this issue, it’s working again. Does anyone have any kind of explanation for this?

Help / Color fill
on: March 01, 2023, 12:31:07 AM
I’ve run across a peculiar issue with color fill. When I create a shape, either with freehand or other mode, and then click to fill it with a color, sometimes the color does not stay contained within the shape. I’ve experimented with this, and found that any line width of 4 pixels or less will not contain the color. When looked at, the line(s) are porous, so the color leaks out of the shape. Has anyone else run across this issue? Is there a fix, or just a glitch in the program?

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Flesh tones
on: February 20, 2023, 12:37:20 PM
I’m not satisfied with my attempts to create flesh tones: either dark or light. They all appear a little too yellow, orange, ashen, chocolate…etc. Anyone have any tips? Or, is this just something I have to keep working on until I get it right?

Show your work / Just for Fun
on: January 30, 2023, 01:44:52 PM
I’m still very new to Artstudio Pro. And, by the looks of the examples on this page, I’m not even qualified to carry the shoes of most when it comes to talent and mastery of the program. But, I’m having fun learning by creating these little one-panel cartoons. It’s a fun way to learn.

Help / Adjusting a rectangle, or other shape
on: April 12, 2021, 12:59:18 AM
I know this has to be simple, but I just haven’t been able to find the function. Often, when I create a rectangle (or some other shape) when I let go of my cursor it still needs some minor adjustments to make it right. Maybe moving an edge one way of the other which will change the aspect ratio. Or, maybe just changing the size slightly, keeping the aspect ratio. But not distorting the shape. I’ve tried the Move tool and transform menu, but haven’t been able to locate this simple task.
