Arthaus Studio Xtra allows you to easily paint and draw pictures, as well as retouch your images, using dazzling effects.

The program lets you draw shapes and fill them with your images; generate kaleidoscopic patterns; create gradient and tiled backdrops; use brightness, contrast, and color filters; and design multi-colored text fields.

Arthaus Studio Xtra can process BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG, TGA, and TIF format images, enabling you to combine any two supported images for an interesting effect.

It also includes a 'Light Show' function, which generates patterns according to the sound captured from your microphone.

In addition, the program includes several utilities, such as a typing tutor, year planner, date calculator, character map, screen magnifier, sound toner, and more.
