| Graphics & Multimedia Article | Graphic art software[1] is a subclass of application software used for graphic design, multimedia development, specialized image development, general image editing or simply to access graphic files. Art software uses either raster or vector graphic reading and editing methods to create, edit, or view art. Many artists (creative professionals) today use computers rather than traditional forms of art. Using graphic art software may be more efficient than rendering using traditional media by requiring less hand-eye coordination, requiring less visualization skills, and utilizing the computer's quicker (sometimes more accurate) automated rendering functions to create images. However, advanced level computer styles, effects and editing methods may require a steeper a learning curve of computer technical skills than what was required to learn traditional hand rendering and visualization skills. The steeper technical learning curve may hinder creativity, despite the lure of enhanced creativity with reduced development time and reduced utilization of mental energy
