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

So 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.

Given a gift to daughter who loves to draw. This program has allowed her to expand to other type of artistic endeavors.

Not a lot pot experience with program for comprehensive review. Offers many painting options and features. Im looking forward to learning.

Painter Essentials 5 is different than 4 and lacks some of the features of 4. Instructions are complicated or nonexistent. It has new features that were not in 4. It is probably worth purchasing and it is very good at turning a photo into a work or art.

Already have Corel Suite and this adds more effects to my tool box that are very interesting Worth the money.

It isnt that great for igital art, not a lot of brushes but its ideal for photo editing

I have really enjoyed this program. I am a professional photographer that is used to doing all photo painting like this manually in Photoshop. So, I wondered if would even like this. I definitely like it! It is really an easy program to use and offers many brushes. I have been using it on a Wacom Cintique 21ux and it is fantastic. There were a lot of great effects that were easy to apply. It was extremely easy to learn and I don’t think you would need to be photo editing savvy in order to use it. I would highly recommend. It makes me want to purchase the more feature robust 2015 version. I love that this product is now available for a Mac. For the longest time it was only PC-based. So, this was a huge plus for me!

My daughter loves this

great

I regret this purchase more than I regret not using a sunscreen in my youth. I have had Paintshop Pro for years and wanted to venture into painting.
