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

Love it!!!! Corel you are the best with your phenomenal product and at very wonderful price for ones the cant afford the cutting edge software. Love you software!

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!

I got this for my drawing pad.

Its Corel.

I originally owned Painter essentials 4, and feel that 5 had really dropped the ball. A lot of features that were essential to 4 have been changed or disappeared entirely which is annoying and makes it very hard to work with. I will keep looking at tutorials to try and see if I could be wrong about them missing, but I dont have a ton of hope. Honestly, if your going to spend your money to draw, buy Painter 4 instead, it was a way better program.

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

To outdated

Absolutley love this program. My daughter was using her finger, on the laptop track pad to draw. She was doing an amazing job, and I figured if she could do that with her finger, imagine what she could do with a pen/tablet. So as a joint Xmas gift I got this to go along with her Wacom tablet. She loves it! Its got everything the more ecpensive programs have. This is more of a sketch painter program, rather than a photo editing ( but thats also allowed)

Does what I wanted it for. Converting photos into paintings. Excellent program for this purpose.

Didnt load properly and only allowed one computer in my house to have access. Would not buy this again.
