- Differences between version 1.41 and earlier versions:
-
-
-
- Ñ Artisto now works correctly with FullPaint.
-
- Ñ Small selections cut from Artisto and pasted into FullPaint or MacPaint now
- act as if they had been selected with a lasso instead of the rectangle.
-
- Ñ Fixes a bug of clearing the whole page when opening a small MacPaint
- document.
-
- Ñ Artisto now works on a Mac XL.
-
- Ñ Double-clicking the selection rectangle tool will select the smallest
- rectangle that encloses the whole image.
-
- Ñ Moving the document around with the hand tool no longer turns off the
- current selection.

- Artisto is a desk accessory of the "Paint Cutter" variety. Artisto allows
- you to open up a MacPaint document from inside any program that supports desk
- accessories and select any portion of the image and copy it to the clipboard.
- From the clipboard, the graphic can be pasted into an application.
-
-
-
- Notice: You must have a 512k (or larger) Mac in order to use this desk
- accessory. Don't try using it on a 128k Mac or under a 128k Switcher
- partition.

-
- Artisto supports two tools: a hand for moving the image around and a
- selection tool for selecting a portion of the MacPaint image. The hand works
- exactly like the hand in MacPaint. It allows you to move around in the whole
- MacPaint image very quickly. Double-click on the hand icon to enter "show
- page" mode (just like MacPaint). The selection tool works just like it does
- in MacPaint except that if you drag outside the borders of the Artisto window,
- the image will automatically scroll. Double-click on the selection tool to
- select the whole image on the document. Use the "Copy" command under the
- application program's Edit menu or command-C to copy the selected image to the
- clipboard. Generally, I close Artisto before pasting the image into the
- desired document. You can toggle between the two tools without selecting the
- other tool by holding down the shift or option key.
-
-
-
- Artisto puts up its own menu in the menu bar. Presently, the menu only has
- two options: Open and Show Page. Selecting Open brings up the mini-finder and
- allows you look at (and copy selections from, if desired) any MacPaint
- document on any disk. The Show Page command displays the whole document on
- the screen (alç MacPaint) and allows you to select which portion is visible on
- the screen.

- I originally wrote this program because I was having a tough time trying to
- place a complete screen dump into Microsoft Word. I had to cut the screen
- dump into sections and put the pieces together. It turned out to be a major
- pain because the pieces wouldn't print together on the Laserwriter without
- overlapping them on the screen. Anyway, I wrote this desk accessory to
- overcome those problems. Artisto is written in Consulair C version 4.5
