  • Responsive, subtle RealBristle brush control, intuitive customisable workspace, speed improvements notable on Intel-based Macs, better Photoshop integration, improved colour options

  • Abstract:  This product has been a niche offering for quite a while, however the new version could well make it a mainstream product that gives people like me with no artistic talent a chance, of course should you have talent you will already know that.
