Corel Painter Essentials 7 | Digital Art Suite | Amazon Exclusive Includes Free PhotoMirage Express Valued at $49 [PC/Mac Disc] [Old Version]

While I have a license of the full Painter software on my desktop - Im running Painter Essentials on my laptop. Started doing that with PE5 and have upgraded each time a new version has come out. PE7 is the latest. It has pretty much every thing that PE6 has - but seems to run just a tad better. I also make use of the PaintShop Pro Ultimate package on my laptop instead of paying for another license of Photoshop. For on the go use - both of these two Corel graphics packages cant be beat for the cost. Highly recommend both.

I am not known for my artistic talent in any way shape or form. If my spelling is a bit sketchy. But I got this hoping to learn more about digital brushes, how they work, and what I can do with them. My daughter, she’s very artistic, paints both on canvas and using digital software. So I wanted to be able to understand some of what she tells me.

I am new to digital painting and was looking for a program that was easy and intuitive. This one fits the bill. Installation was simple and straightforward. there are excellent training videos to help you learn the program. while experienced digital artists might feel limited, the program is ideal for beginners. There are plenty of options but not an overwhelming number. it is fun to play with no frustrating glitches or tricks. It will take some time before I master it but it is an entertaining skill to learn. This program is well designed, accessible and interesting. Well done.

This program constantly pops up ads on my computer screen, even when the program is not running. It is ridiculous to pay for a software, then have ads install on my PC for it.

This is my first time trying editing software and WOW...really overwhelming how much you can do. My head is still spinning and I’m sure I’ll be discovering new features and ways to create art almost endlessly. I would have given it 5 stars but it’s a little complicated for me, maybe just because I’ve never used anything like this before....fortunately there are a ton of tutorials online to help navigate it

Excellent value for$$$

This is the first digital painting software Ive ever attempted to use. As a novice, I can say that Corel makes a good product thats relatively easy to pick up on. Yes, theres a learning curve, but its not nearly as severe as something like Photoshop.

I have worked with a variety of releases of the Painter program and my daughter had gotten to the age when she wanted to do graphics too. This daughter has artistic talent and she loves to be creative.

This was my first attempt at using an art program like this and I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed. The features are out of this world and create some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. There is definitely a learning curve to this, but if you are willing to invest the time to learn how to use this to its maximum potential, the results would delight.
