Corel Painter Essentials 5 Digital Art Suite for PC and Mac (Old Version)

dont waste your money. does not work. cannot open program. tech support is worthless.

I use it now everyday to incorporate multi media and art into my digital work..Wouldnt be able to function without it now! Very easy to use and great tutorials

These was an Xmas gift and the person really enjoys it

one of the easiest and most powerful programs ever

The software arrived, asked for a serial number and all options on the package, the DVD and the insert were invalid. Attempts to contact Corel for a remedy have not been forthcoming. I asked that I have the option of actually speaking to tech support for help as their support website and phone number does not offer this option, I would love to download the software but if not satisfied by the morning I will be sending it back and never bother with Corel in the future, I am quite disappointed.

Easy to learn and use.

For some reason this item caused my drawing tablet to stop working.

Pretty nice basic painting software. Not maintained by Corel. Dont expect updates.

Im still getting used to it, but I like it. I have no idea how people can make those awesome pictures with it though. You just cant buy talent and it sort of makes it look like you can.

I have only used the application a dozen times, several for personal projects. its very different that I expected. I did not know I would be forced to have a Graphics Tablet w/ Stylus to use this program to its fullest extent. I wish my old Wacom Intuos USB tablet still worked. I grew up on Painter. I remember when it was owned by Fractal Design, and it was an awesome digital paint program for the Mac. I am however happy the program is still a decent cost. Unlike Photoshop which is beyond reach for average digital artists. $30 for Painter Essentials 5 is an excellent deal. I find it more powerful on some aspects and other aspects seem to be lacking. If I am ever able to afford a new Graphics Tablet, I would definitely use this program more.
