![]() They also introduced a collapse layers option which helps in this regard though. This is an improvement, but you have to bear in mind you will end up with a lot of layers without even realizing it. This version of Painter introduced a layer compatibility tool which automatically creates the layer type needed for different brush engines should you choose them. There are many different brush engines in Painter which is a good thing, but some of them only work on special layer types. One of the main frustrations I always had with Painter was the layer system. That being said this program has some features that other programs don’t, although it could do with a bit of a clean up in some areas and some things are a bit outdated or don’t work as well as other software (selections and layer masks for example). Aaron Rutten’s YouTube channel is very useful in this regard and the website for Corel Painter has a few tutorials to look at for figuring out different aspects of the program. Reading the documentation and watching tutorials for Corel Painter is a must to avoid frustration. Almost any other painting program is simpler than this. It took me a few days to go through the menus and the brushes (yes days), this program is quite complicated. ![]() I like being able to shift and drag brushes into panels so I can organize which ones I want to have quick access to. I like the interface for Corel Painter because it is very customizable and the ability to make drawers for different panels and settings is useful for saving screen space. I illustrated an image in it recently and really loved the experience.īefore starting my Illustration I looked at the features and acquainted myself with the interface. I tried Painter 2021 which I got on a Humble Bundle last year out again a few weeks ago (I missed the 2022 offer unfortunately). I thought I would give it a thorough looking over this time because the last version I used for my digital painting was the Corel Painter 2012 version, so things have changed quite a lot with this one. I’ve had mixed feelings about Corel Painter, but since discovering Humble Bundle sells it every year (usually around Black Friday or just before a new release of Painter) for a greatly reduced price and that they let you disable the pop up adverts and promotional offers in the software in latest versions I’ve reconciled with it.
