Setting up the Program after Installation


The information below covers the most important settings to start your work with Art Text.

  1. Register the program if you have purchased a license code. Otherwise, the program will work in the demo mode.
    To do this, choose Art Text > License... from the menu to open the registration dialog box. Input your name and your license code.

    After successful registration, the program will offer you online registration. You can register or skip registration.
    By registering online, you are sending your data to the developer's data base. This makes it possible to send your license code back to you in case it gets lost. The online registration does not turn the program from the demo to the registered mode.

  2. Set up the program Preferences (Art Text > Preferences…).

    Preferences

    1 – Deselect the Open Template Gallery on start-up check box if you don't use the built-in templates.
    2 – Keep the Snap option enabled. Text and images will align to each other when you move them around.
    3 – Keep the Use Core Image software rendering option disabled. In this case, rendering is quicker because the graphic card (not the CPU) does this job.
    4 – The resolution of an image pasted in the clipboard. It is important when your work is finished and you are going to copy it to another program. Leave this parameter alone for now.
    5 – Choose your preferable background. Working with white background is better for beginners as the preview area looks like an ordinary page. The chessboard background lets you see transparent parts of your design.
    6 – Select Automatically check for updates to have the application up-to-date.

    More details can be found in Program Settings.
