Mixing and brush control

Turn on Pigment mix and colors blend on the canvas. Set Wet mix for how much they blend, then tune your brush and Stabilize to suit your line.

Import .liabrush presets, sampled tips from .abr files, or PNG images as brush tips (currently Mac only on desktop). ABR import is best effort: Photoshop dynamics and settings are not imported.

Build with layers

Adjust opacity and blend modes. Use clipping and layer masks to decide where color appears.

Autosave and startup recovery

Autosave saves edits for recovery when you pause drawing; other operations can delay saving. On launch, Artlia checks for recoverable work; some data needs review in Gallery.

Recent strokes may be missing, and floating reference images are restored when possible. Keep saving .lia files and making backups.

Inside-line painting and Lasso fill

Enable No overflow to constrain brush strokes to a detected enclosed area. Detection depends on lines and settings; if no enclosure is found, drawing continues normally. With Lasso fill, close the loop and release to fill its interior with your current color; an unclosed outline stays pending.

Questions

Questions.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes, free for 30 days. The current release lets you keep editing after the trial ends. In every licensing state you can always open, save, recover and export your existing artwork. The About tab shows license status and a Buy button.

Can I use the artwork I create commercially?

Yes. You own the artwork you create with Artlia Paint and may use it for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to any third-party rights in material you use. The personal license limits who may use the app, not how your artwork may be used.

What happens on a fourth Mac?

Normally, activating another Mac when all 3 slots are occupied removes the oldest activation; the removed Mac sees the change at its next online check and is not reactivated automatically. If this key has already been activated 10 or more times in the past 30 days and you activate it on a Mac that is not currently active, the license is suspended to prevent key sharing; contact support to restore it, and editing remains available.

What about future updates?

Ver1.x updates are free. We can’t promise anything about Ver2 pricing yet.

Does every PSD feature carry over?

Opens 8- and 16-bit RGB PSDs (16-bit is reduced to 8-bit) and saves layered 8-bit RGB PSDs. Folder masks and folder clipping are dropped on import, adjustment layers on export. Very large files may be scaled down or lose layers.

How do I request a refund?

For a full refund within 14 days of purchase, email support@artlia.app with your purchase date, normally from the checkout email address. Purchase verification and replies normally use that address. If it has changed, follow the Refund policy. A full refund permanently ends the license; the app reflects this at its next online check. Opening, editing, saving and exporting remain available. See the Refund policy for payment-dispute handling.

What if I forgot to save my key?

Email support@artlia.app with your purchase date, normally from the checkout email address. Purchase verification and replies normally use that address. If it has changed, follow the address-change instructions in Purchaser help. We send the key after verifying the purchase.
