On top is the original, on the bottom is the sketch preview.Ĭorel recognizes that most Painter users also own Photoshop and often switch freely between the two programs. For example, with the Brush tool selected, the Property bar displays controls for setting size, opacity, smoothness, volume, and feature (see Figure 1).įigure 8: The new Sketch effect transforms any image into a black-and-white drawing. The old Control palette has been replaced with a context-sensitive Property bar that displays information about the currently selected tool. It’s been rotated to conform with the vertical industry standard. Gone too is Painter’s horizontal toolbox. This look and feel has become the standard for graphics applications today, and we’re glad to see Painter follow suit. Painter’s traditional push-button drawers and static palettes have been retired in favor of resizable palettes that can be grouped into stackable sets to minimize the amount of space they occupy on the desktop. Painter 8 is now shipping we reviewed a press beta copy, which was quite stable.Ĭorel did a fantastic job simplifying Painter’s interface. Other new features include new brushes and behaviors layers, masks, and layer masks that conform to the Adobe Photoshop model and better compatibility with Photoshop file formats. We think the best news about Painter 8 is the simplified and magically improved interface. It didn’t help that version 7 and below of Painter sported a Byzantine approach to tools and features that could be vastly confusing to a beginner and a little frustrating to more experienced hands. Every new version heaped on more features, and accessing them could tax the patience of even the heartiest graphic artists. The sheer volume of pens, pencils, chalk, brushes, paint, paper, nozzles, gradients, weaves, and assorted special effects, coupled with the extensive variations and controls available for each, can be overwhelming.
Painter’s feature set is so deep and wide that it is virtually impossible to touch bottom.
#ADD A BRUSH VARIANT TO COREL PAINTER 11 SOFTWARE#
So now you'll have larger wheels so you can make even better color choices and I'll show you exactly those features and more in this episode of Corel Painter 11.From its inception under Fractal Design, Corel Painter has retained the crown as the finest natural-media graphics-creation software that money can buy. But wait, did I say last but not least? Oh how I kid, how I kid! The Color Mixer and the Color Wheel can scale now. That means Painter and Photoshop will now respect each others layers and even the effects on those layers. And last but not least, there's even better compatibility with Photoshop. And the Brush performance is now up to 30 percent faster, which means more strokes with less waiting, although some of the Brushes are still rather Processor intensive and I'll be sure to remind you as to which ones those are in this tutorial. So with one tool you'll be able to Scale, Skew, Rotate, and all kinds of other cool stuff like move the Pivot Point so that you can rotate something wherever you want it to rotate. There's a new Transformation Tool as well, with a whole new bag of tricks. There are also new Color Management Tools, which means you don't have to worry about jumping back and forth between Painter and Photoshop and having the profiles all messed up, so you can determine before you even start a document what the profile is going to be, so you can be sure to match the profile of the other application. You also have some Hard Media Controls that let you make your own Hard Media Variant so you can create a style that's truly your own. So I thing you're really going to like that a lot.
So if you start with a light blue and you use that same exact marker and you go over the same spot, it will get darker, and go over it again and darker. They will actually get darker with each consecutive pass of the tip on the canvas. You'll also be able to find that markers work like they do in the real world as well. Now depending on how you tilt your stylus and of course the speed will be the main difference in how you work with those new tools.
What that means is pens will change thickness based on velocity, pencils and chalks will let you draw with the tip or the side, which means you can now get those nice broad strokes as if you were working with a real pencil on its side. So what's new in Corel Painter 11? Well let's talk about the RealBristle Dry Media that lets you work with tools the way that you work with in the real world.
