Artweaver Free 5.0.8.13373

The interface is clean and comfortable to work with. Adding images to the list is done via the file browser or drag-and-drop support. Creating a new document requires you to specify the name, size, resolution, and background color.

Standard drawing tools contain brush, movement, shape selection, magic wand, Lasso, crop, perspective grid, text, shape, gradient, eraser, stamp, dropper, paint bucket, zoom, and pan.

It is possible to configure the color set, work with multiple layers, undo and redo actions, make image adjustments (e.g. brightness, contrast, color balance, levels), modify the canvas or image size, as well as transform or merge layers.

Additionally, you can apply filters (e.g. blur, distort, noise, render, sharpen), switch to full screen mode, set up advanced options (e.g. color variability, opacity, jitter), access a list of recently used tools, and more. Plus, you can import Clipboard and WIA-supported content, as well as export the image to PDF.

The program is surprisingly light on the system resources, using low CPU and RAM. It has a good reaction speed and rapidly applies tweaks to the pictures. We have not found any problems in our evaluation, as the app did not hang or crash. To sum it up, Artweaver is a very good graphic editing utility for enthusiastic users, although it cannot compete with more complex products, such as Photoshop.
