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

the link to the add-on didnt work and it was shipped without an outer box. The box was severely damaged and opened in shipping. I was very grateful to discover the disc in tact. And corel customer service assisted me in getting a linke to download the add on

Like a lot of people, I imagine, using software like this, Im mostly using it to transform photos into paintings or other special effect looks. Its a lot of fun to do this, and quite easy! I was able to figure out how to make it work in minutes, and I loved seeing my photos transform. I do have to say its pretty slow. I am running this on a brand new laptop which is pretty top of the line, and still, it takes minutes to get the photos changed.

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.

This software is great for a range of skills - from someone just getting started with digital painting through more experienced painters. Installation is quick and painless, and if you dont have a CD drive it can be downloaded and then you enter the serial codes included in the box to activate.

Invalid serial number

I wrote a review for this which somehow “disappeared.” So I’m writing it again.

Excellent value for$$$

The install was easy. The tutorial was good, but practice is needed to navigate all the options it offers.

Will not download to computer.

I bought this Corel Painter Essentials 7 particularly because it also was sold as coming with the bonus package of PhotoMirage. The product description states, Get PhotoMirage Express with this Amazon Exclusive. Transform any image or art into an animation in minutes, and, Corel Painter Essentials 7 | Digital Art Suite | Amazon Exclusive Includes Free PhotoMirage Express Valued at $49. Therefore, I did not get what I paid for.
