Download and installation
Synthetik Studio Artist 2.0 is, of course, a Macintosh-only program. It runs in Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. After you download the "NagelSeries5PaintPatches.sit" file, decompress it using Stuffit Expander. If you don't already have Stuffit Expander, you can download it free from http://www.aladdinsys.com/downloads/index.html.

Download: NagelSeries5PaintPatches (308 KB)[an error occurred while processing this directive]The unstuffed folder will be called "NagelSeries5PaintPatches." Place this folder in your Presets folder inside your Studio Artist 2.0 folder. You can place them inside the Defaults folder or inside the Dave's Alpha Enabled Presets folder.



Either way, they will appear in the appropriate subdirectory in the Presets panel within Studio Artist after you quit and relaunch the program.



To use them on a still image, simply select one and start drawing. Many of these will build up quite slowly, allowing you time to create your image before it becomes completely washed out (or blacked out, as the case may be). The source color you choose will dramatically impact the speed at which your image builds up and the overall effect.

If you have any questions about these presets or other Studio Artist issues, be sure to visit me in the Studio Artist forum here. For more information on Studio Artist, visit Synthetik's Web site at http://www.synthetik.com. And remember, you can find all of our previous downloads for Studio Artist, Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, Expression and other applications here.
