ANNOUCEMENT: SmartSketch - New Windows Draw App
Jonathan Gay
Microsoft Windows. A fully functional 30 day Trial Version is now
available for downloading from CICA.
SmartSketch is particuarily suited for educational uses because it is
much easier to learn than traditional drawing applications. It is an
ideal application for students who have outgrown simple painting
application.
SmartSketch provides many features that have never before been available
in a Windows draw application. The eraser, brush and lasso tools can be
used to edit bezier curves. On-screen anti-aliasing eliminates the
"jaggies" normally seen with draw applications.
Beginning users will appreciate SmartSketch's simplicity, on-screen
lessons and clip-art library. Experienced computer artists will find
that the flexibility of SmartSketch's freeform approach to drawing makes
it an excellent companion to their high-end drawing application.
