In fact it is really cool software with many amazing functions and opportunities.
Shure, it would be great if Artrage would offer color management - it would also be fine if it would make my bed and cook my coffee in the morning - but it is not useless or "a joke", just because it doesn't. Sorry, it is not easy for me to declare this in english, because it is not my native language. This unfortunately makes printing much more expensive. For Art Prints the CMYK-Profile often isn't comprehensive enough, so that the professional Printers use additional special color tones, that are more brilliant. The basic colors of RGB are red, green and blue, the basic colors of CMYK are cyan, magenta and yellow (and the "Keycolor" black for deeper dark tones). That is because RGB is the color space for the colors of light (additive color mixing) - CMYK is the color space for bodycolors or material colors (don't know the right englisch word for it, sorry - anyway it is the subtractive color mixing). And if you want to print your image professionally, you have to convert it to a CMYK-Profile. For example Adobe RGB 1998 is a bigger color profile than sRGBs (there are more than one sRGBs existing and more than one RGB - for example Adobe RGB, several ECI RGBs and so on - RGB is just the colorspace, not the profile) and the color tones of different profiles are not really congruent to each other. If you open an image in Photoshop or another image processing program, you should answer the color profile warning to keep the embedded profile.
That means, that you should calibrate your monitor, your printer, your scanner and so on by using a Colorimeter or by engageing a professional to do so. At first you need calibrated Hardware for reliable color display. Colormanagement is a much more extensive theme than what you are talking about here.
