"Nice new features"
Version: Corel Painter 9.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Further refinement is a plus, easy access to brush controls - very nice,
speed improvements - very nice, new brushes very nice aswell. The new open docs, tutorials, access artist thingy window I'm not to thrilled with. Hopefullly an update will give us on/off control and the new logo is so annoying. -
"Painter is still too slow"
Version: Corel Painter 8.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I like Painter in general and version 8 profoundly improves on the previous interface nightmare, but it has a serious problem: it's a snail when you save to your document. Saves, on the average, long as 20 seconds for me (using a dual 867 G4 with 1GB ram). It just feels very sluggish overall in general. There are bugs: when resizing my document rapidly with the slider my artwork blanks out to white on occasion -- it's not gone, but I have to restart the program to see my artwork again. Some interface weakpoints: can't drag items between custom palettes; sliders lack pop up menus to select values. Version 9 in the works...? -

Is anyone experiencing problems with WACOM Graphire-2 and the Brush Tracking menu ? Anyway, this is a WONDERFUL application and a MUST-HAVE for every artist !!! -
"Works for me"
Version: Corel Painter 8.1
Summary

Upgrade ran flawlessly. No problem. Lot's of stuff fixed. Absolutely essential software for computer artists.
I've been using this software since the very first version ('92?), and have used it to create hundreds of published illustrations. I am glad to see Corel is working on fixing bugs and improving it (I was seriously concerned when they bought it from MetaCreations). Thanks for bringing back custom palettes (that missing feature was driving me nuts). The new interface is taking some getting used to ... but having also used Photoshop for more than ten years, it's not an uncomfortable experience. I'll get used to it.
If you are an artist, and want to draw/paint on a computer, Painter is the best program to use. There is really no other program like it. -

Wish I had discovered this software sooner, the new layout and features are just amazing. With a Wacom tablet you can do astounding things. Run don't walk to your nearest retailer and buy this program!
