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

Purchased it in May 2015 and was told, because I called, that this download was forever mine as they do not send out CDs any longer. Hurricane hits west coast of Florida and I cannot retrieve Corel Essentials. Went to the software library where it failed to upload only a partial ergo another call to an agent who does not live in the U.S and whose speech is difficult to understand. Told me that my 2 year warranty ran out. Oops..nowhere was I told there was a 2 year warranty as it is a download and was told I could use it in perpetuity. Not so. There is nothing on the ad which Amazon has up that speaks of a 2 year warranty. Was told to return it???? How do you return a download. So now I am out $40 and lots of luck to you and yours.

This is a great starting point if you want to see what you can do and if you really want to put effort into art.

My son loves all the options and layers in this program! for the price it has a ton of features. I did recommend to my son after reading reviews that he not opt to install any adware when installing this. so far so good, and he loves it.

excellent thats all i have to say

For the Price, you get more than enough features to learn Digital art, I highly recommend a drawing tablet with it.

good software to work my pictures or get inspire.

I have not used the whole program, but I got it mainly to change photos into paintings to use in illustrated children books. It works great for that, and when I get time, I will venture into the other aspects of this program.

A great addition to my collection of art suites.

So far so good.

I have been working with Essentials 4 for years, and was disappointed with the new version. There is no way to remove the feathered background from some of the painting options and did not seem as if there were any new features, some old features have been removed that I use on a regular basis. I would recommend a trial prior to purchasing.
