That is pretty cool! Thanks Hannah!

For some reason this is downloading as a windows file. Does it work with the mac version?

I have added it to the folder and it shows up as available in the sticker list but it doesn't work when I try to paint with it.

The .prs file should be universal - it will only work with ArtRage, but it should work with both Windows/Mac OSX. Your OS might be a little confused about the file type though, so go to ArtRage to try opening it.

If that doesn't help, what are you seeing?

That's strange. Can you make sure you're trying on a new document (so no sneaky layer/tool/selection settings)?

It worked for me when I tried downloading it, so something weird is going on at your end :p

Here is what it looks like in the preset list (see attached picture), all the others have a little grey dot next to them except this one. All the others work when I click on the them & paint just this one that doesnt.

The dot indicates that it's a default preset and can't be deleted. Can you check the Settings panel and screenshot the Spray Variations panel from there for me?

[philhguk]

Ok here it is, one thing I did notice is that in the settings panel under Sheet it says baubles no idea if that is right so I included that as well so you can see it.

Okay, that's the problem. The problem is I'm an idiot and forgot to upload the sticker sheet as well - the presets need the sticker to work. I'm going to go hide in a corner now :D


Here, install this to your stickers, THEN add the preset and it should work.

Hannah the .stk file is uploaded in your original post, unless you just did that. The preset works for me though I just noticed that the thumbnail for all of my presets is the symbol for my Parallels software to run Windows on my Mac. They work fine so I never noticed it before.

I just did that :D (to avoid confusing latecomers)

Ah, Windows. Sometimes it gets very confused about which files go with which programs. If you care, you can go to right click > Properties and change the 'Opens with' program to ArtRage. This will update the icon so at least you know which program they belong to.

OK thanks I got it to work, although if I pick Fish School from the Presets list I still have to open the Settings pane & change the Sheet setting from Baubles to Fish then it works ok.

Restarting ArtRage should fix that, but if it doesn't, try deleting the preset then re-adding it.

I have tried that but no change.

If I select the Fish School from the presets list shown here on the RHS it always defaults to saying baubles in the Settings list under Sheet shown here on the LHS so I then have to change that to say Fish then it works.

Okay, the most likely answer is that your computer is cursed :p I blame Tycho.

Restarting ArtRage after adding the .stk should update things so that the preset is now pointing at something that actually exists, and it works fine for me here when I try it. If that's not working, you can just resave the preset (load it, change the sheet, save as a new preset) and you will have a new working preset going forward.

Yes that worked I switched to that preset then created a new preset based on that one then clicked on the preset icon and used the sample preview image to create a new preset icon then deleted the old preset, so if anyone else had this problem this fixes it ok.

Thanks for all you help :-)

Splendid!

Though, I dunno... something smells kinda fishy here.
