> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI love to use this program to erase picture backgrounds. It works better than any of the programs I have for doing that.

> 3 daySo far I am having fun with this. I totally agree with another reviewers comment that you can take a good photo and made it bad, or a bad photo and make it worse, but there is something almost addictive about playing with the tools and manipulating the pictures. I can see why the internet is flooded with these kinds of pictures.

> 3 dayPainter Essentials 5 simply refuses to launch, even after numerous reboots and reinstalls of the program. It sits in the running processes and eats up a hefty chunk of your processor (40% on average) but never actually DOES anything. Not even a splash screen appears. This is, hands-down, the worst piece of software Ive ever encountered - at least everything else RUNS. For those who are curious about my hardware, Im doing this on a Surface Pro 1 that has proven to be an incredible device for artistic endeavors. Painter failing to run is pretty disappointing.
