ArtRage Vitae review: new featuresĪrtRage Vitae now includes collaboration tools (Image credit: Ian Dean) If you're used to more traditional UI, such as in Photoshop or Rebelle, you may find this limiting. I love it, but I've been using it since ArtRage 3 so I've become used to the big and chunky look. With all this said, ArtRage's UI may not be for everyone. There is a small learning curve as ArtRage has its own naming conventions for some common tools, and learning how to tailor its real paint simulations can take time to figure out.

Some may criticise the chunky UI that hasn’t really changed since that iPad release since its release 18 years ago, but there’s a homely, robust feel to this edition of ArtRage.
