What is PD Artist 7?

PD Artist is a subset of PD Howler (PD Pro Howler edition), but without the animation or video tools. The result: a lean, mean painting machine that's affordable.

PD Artist 7 is built on

the same howling-fast core engine as the one used in PD Pro 7.2 (aka PD Pro 7.2 Howler) and thus benefits from interface improvements, multithreading, SSE2 acceleration, speed enhancements and other optimizations found there.

All of the features of PD Pro 7 are intact. Just the features used for animation have been removed.

Some animated filters were removed. Some filters that had animation options were modified to exclude the animated portion. The Animation menu is gone. Tools and plugins made for animations such as the Timeline editor, the brush keyframer, the exposure sheet and frame painter, those are tools made for animation or post work on videos and were removed. However, animated brushes are still included! You can still load an existing AVI video clip straight into the custom animated brush system!

Why PD Artist 7?

PD Artist 7 is based on the same engine as PD Pro Howler 7. If you can't afford PD Howler (PD Pro Howler), or if you don't need nor care for animations or video and don't want to pay extra for such features that you won't be using, then PD Artist is the better tool for you.

Note: the video below was made with PD Howler. PD Artist is based on PD Howler simply by having removed the Animation menu and features. That's it. So what you see here is pretty much the same in PD Artist.

More coming soon, but for now, refer to the PD Howler information and simply ignore any reference to animations. (except when we're talking about animated brushes, which are supported too in PD Pro Artist.)
