ArtGem was created as a reaction to the lack of good paint software for
PC, seen from a game developers point of view. Although software like
Photoshop have many features, we do not find them pleasant to work
with. They feel big and clumsy and you lose control of the image. Being
inspired by the Amiga classic DPaint, we have tried to create a tool
that is fast and efficient for the kind of graphics we produce. And
ArtGem has proven its usability, as we use it for all our game and
multimedia projects!
