The definitive art package for the Archimedes. Written with ease of use in mind this full art package exploits the 256 colour capabilities of the Archimedes allowing stunning graphics to be created easily and professionally. The sequencer supplied with Atelier can also be used to animate your pictures or produce slide shows of your work.

In addition to the standard line or circle type functions advanced features allow anti-alias squashing, rotation of areas into any quadrangle, sprite and brush patterning and a sophisticated system allowing brushes to only affect specified colours. This allows the user full flexibility and the ability to paint 'behind' objects. Further features allow television style techniques to even wrap a picture around a wine glass, or map an image onto any definable 3D surface. Sequences of these may be animated to produce amazing effects.

A smoothing brush and other useful digitised picture tools are available to make this one of the most sophisticated art packages on the market.
