We longer enhance WorkingArtist 2.0 or fix bugs. The final version, 2.02.10a, was released in February of 2002.

WorkingArtist 2.0 is a major upgrade from WorkingArtist 1.0 Following is a list of some of the enhancements in WorkingArtist 2.0.
-- Alphanumeric work number is allowed.
-- An additional level is added in the artwork function to allow for multiple proofs ( for multiple edition work) and multiple editions for each proof.
-- Linking to images in both the Artwork forms and the Letterhead form is through a different kind of image frame, doing away with the OLE (object linking and embedding frame) . This might make your images display differently than they were before. The default for this "mode" is zoom, so that whatever size your image is, it will fit into the frame. You can link most any kind of image type.
-- Invoicing is expanded to allow invoicing of other items besides artwork, either as a specific artwork/edition cost or as a general cost. Add Artwork/Editions costs on the Price Detail form. Add Other costs from the Other Items tab on the Edit Invoice form.
-- There is a new Invoice Type field in which you can create custom categories for your invoices;
-- You can specify a tax type (In-State taxable/Out of State nontaxable, etc);you can include three different taxes; you can apply taxes to line items on the invoice.
