| Is ArtTracker easy to install and use? |
| Yes. Art tracker was created with the artist in mind - we understand that you need a program that is easy to use or you won't use it at all. ArtTracker installs in just minutes. We designed ArtTracker to be intuitive so that you won't need any instructions to get started. |

| Will ArtTracker store images of my work? |
ArtTracker attaches images of your work to the records in the system. In order to save space in the program, the images are linked, rather than stored, allowing the software to run quickly, and permitting easy, fast backups. You should store all of your images in one folder on your computer and back them up frequently.
We also understand that many artists, especially those who work in three dimensions, may need more than one image attached to the record. ArtTracker allows you to store unlimited images attached to each artwork. |

| |
| Will ArtTracker record my expenses and materials? |
| No. There are programs available that will, but in our research we found that those functions are rarely used by artists consistently and needlessly complicate the software. Again, our goal was to make a program that was extremely simple and easy to use. |
| |
| Is there a trial version of the software available? |
| In essence, every copy of the software is a trial version. Rather than create a complicated and costly registration system, ArtTracker simply comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with the software, we will refund the full purchase price of the software, no questions asked. |
