![]() Since I had Photoshop already, I didn’t even bother installing Painter at first-I figured that anything Corel Painter could offer me I could already do in Photoshop. Well, this week I actually took a look at Corel Painter to see if I was right. I’m not going to extensively compare and contrast Painter with Photoshop in this article, but I WILL point out some of what you’ll get with Painter if you’re a traditional artist interested in going digital. Keep in mind throughout that this is only Corel Painter Essentials, and it came free with my Wacom drawing tablet. There are better versions available that are just called Corel Painter-but since this version was free, I’m definitely not complaining. ![]() The first thing I noticed after briefly “painting” some color onto a new “canvas” was that the paint actually looked a little three-dimensional. There are several options of different brush types, and since I started off using the thick acrylic flat brush, the paint did actually pile up a little bit over time. ![]() You can turn that off with a click, though, if you don’t like it.īut I didn’t mind. What did bother me was the inability to rotate the brush. Some of the brushes were permanently angled or flat and there was no way to change that. The only option available is to rotate the entire canvas. It was sort of weird, but after I found the shortcut for that-alt and space at the same time-it got a little bit easier to rotate the canvas without pausing much between strokes. I still didn’t end up liking that feature, but I tolerated it.
