The Photo Mosaic processes in Studio Artist go way beyond conventional grid based photo mosaic effects. Just check out Charis Tsevis’ mosaics using Studio Artist. Using any folder of images, Studio Artist can intelligently create a photo mosaic of any source image with adaptive regionalization. This includes curves and other shapes.
Studio Artist can re-colorize the sub-image tiles on the fly to match the colors of the source image creating a more realistic render. There are many re-colorizing choices including the use of color palettes to create a more stylized look.
Studio Artist can also blend image folders with text and computer-generated images as well as paints creating stylized, painterly and abstracted effects.
You can blend in Vector Paints or Raster Paints to give your Mosaics an artistic look.

On-The-Fly Computer Generated Animations
Great for VJ’s – Live Shows – Content Creation
Studio Artist includes real-time interaction features. Loop Action allows you to switch between different processing presets on the fly while they run in a live processing loop. Paint Synthesizer Time Particles take on a whole new life with live editing while they are painting allowing your mouse or pen movements to change their shapes and movements.
Live video capture can also be incorporated into loop action processing along with live interactive editing for live visual performance or live video synthesis.
Temporal Generators can be attached to individual editable parameters in MSG presets.

Live video capture can also be incorporated into loop action processing along with live interactive editing for live visual performance or live video synthesis.
Temporal Generators can be attached to individual editable parameters in MSG presets. These TG’s could be either low frequency oscillators used to automatically adjust effect parameters over time in an animation, or interactive modulators such as pen pressure, tilt, orientation, position, proximity, etc.
All of these different temporal Generator modulation options can be used in many different artistic ways in Dual Mode or loop action presets that will give you a lot of control over the visual appearance of dual mode painting, or animation effects being generated by paint or MSG presets.
Generative Art or Computer Generated Art is the heart and soul of Studio Artist and is embedded in all the intelligent aspects of the software. Studio Artist can create surprising, unique and adventurous styles that can act as an inspiration and jumping off point for your creative expression.
Even with the more seemingly conventional art styles generated by Studio Artist, there is a generative aspect but always in the spirit of collaboration with the user. Studio Artist can create full works of art completely on its own but where it shines is in collaboration with the artist/user participating in the process. Studio Artist is designed to be a co-creator and assistant.
“Studio Artist is a real gold mine for serious professional compositional explorations in the visual domain. It encourages experimentation and leads to unbelievable serendipity. I really like the ability to work with controlled randomization, a process I first learned in music composition. Paint synthesizer evolution allows one to export hybridized presets, which can then be hybridized further. Paint and image operations can also be mixed together to create more powerful compositional effects.” – Otto Laske
One Example of Generative AI Art with Studio Artist
Twist – Bend – Transform – Blend – Kaleidoscopes – Colorize – Interactive Double Exposure – Thresholds and More
Studio Artist 5.0 includes a large number of interactive warp and kaleidoscopic effects. You can create amazing kaleidoscopic imagery in real-time from the movement of your mouse cursor. Interactive warping can be done on the fly with a large variety of different warp effects.
Warps and Morphs can also be specified by key-framing bezier paths over time in the Paint Action Sequence (PASeq) timeline
The adjust modes can interactively change hue, saturation, luminance, etc. but also this mode can create line screens, thresholds, blurs and sharpening on the fly and more.
There is plenty of room for an artist. The program is very inspiring.
Thank you for developing it and putting in all the effort it so obviously took to create this tool. Amazing. There is much love for you here.
My many thanks and gratitude to you for the best customer support I have ever experienced.
Studio Artist is a dream come true!
“I have been using Studio Artist for almost a decade now and every day I am surprised, I haven’t even scratched the depth of possibilities…
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Thank you!!!
Studio Artist remains the richest graphics software imaginable, I think. Nothing even comes close.
Thanks for the lightning response. Everything worked perfectly.
Well I must say this is a brilliant program…! I’ve never said ‘amazing’… ‘incredible’…’I love it…’ so many times…! Every time I use it there’s a surprise waiting, it is truly limitless in it’s creativity and artistry.
You and your company are fantastic. What a pleasure to deal with. I greatly appreciate your time and the personal correspondence. I will certainly continue to tell my fellow photographer / artist friends about your wonderful software and service.
Only problem is that it is detracting from my regular work! I love this software.
If the rest of the country, let alone the world was run the way you folks are running your shop, we’d be way better off!
I think Studio Artist allows artists to bring back “play” and experimentation into the creation of digital fine art and it’s clearly the most intuitive natural media tool available for the Mac (and I’ve been using Macs since 1985).
Totally different results to anything I have produced. And easy to use and fun!
I want to thank you for a beautiful piece of software that runs on my new Mac. It’s great fun and makes it so possible to create beautiful work with a minimum of drudgery. Thanks again.
First saw it at demo at Final Cut Pro user group. Can’t believe how amazing this software is. Possibilities are endless, so is the fun. Thanks for developing this software.
I discover hidden corners of Studio Artist every time I use it.
