BeLight Software has released Art Text 2, an upgrade to its software for creating headings, Web graphics, buttons and logos. It costs US$39.95; upgrades cost $19.95.

Art Text 2 incorporates a new Template Gallery that helps you select one of more than 200 ready made button, heading and icon templates. The Shading Pro tool adds 145 additional surface materials and new abilities. All of the supplied icons and shapes are now in vector format, and more than 190 textures have been added to use to fill text and shapes. Eleven blend modes have been added, as well.

System requirements call for Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
