    Should I go ahead & upgrade to Artrage Vitae?

    Are there still troubles with Artrage Vitae or should I go ahead & upgrade? As of currently, Artrage 6 is getting the job done, However, I know I should be mindful of the eventual need to upgrade. It seemed like the problems with Artrage Vitae were minimal, but some of them were the type that made me want to wait for quite sometime until those kinks were more likely to have been addressed & worked out.

    You can always try the demo version. I have found no bugs with the software in how I work.
    June.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.

    Thanks. Much appreciated.

    I went to search for a demo version, but there isn't one available.

    Are you on a Mac Star Lizard? As Vitae is only sold through the Apple store there is no Trial version available.

    Can you define “troubles” more specifically?
    Dose ARV have any bugs?; Yes it dose. But then again all my other graphics apps do too!
    Do any of ARV’s bugs impact my workflow sufficiently to prevent me working with the app; No, not in the least. It’s mostly just quirky behaviour with some elements of the UI.
    But without knowing your precise concerns it's a difficult one to answer...

    ARV is currently on Sale for 50% off at the moment (I think it finishes in 3 or 4 days time) so from that point of view this would be the opportune moment to upgrade for less.

    No, I use Windows. If its now only in the Apple store, why does it appear to still be available in the Microsoft store?

    I'm not referring to little quirks which don't impede my ability to work. I don't recall what exactly other users were claiming. It was bugs involving features I have not worked with. I have no way of knowing with 100% certainty if I will ever use those features & subsequently heave trouble with handling those features. I just thought it would be wise to keep that in mind before potentially upgrading shortly after release.

    I'm aware of the sale. That, along with the passage of quite some time since the release, is what prompted me to consider upgrading recently.

    Oops, sorry my bad! In my head when I posted my reply I thought I had written; “Apple and Microsoft stores”.
    So for clarity: ARV is only available from both the Apple and Microsoft Stores.
    My apologies once again.

    Thanks, either way. I didn't think that made any sense, & figured it was an error.

    I went through with it. So far so good, & there are definitely improvements.
