Painter Essentials 5 sports 31 new brushes, for a grand tally of 126. The auto-tracing feature works in a similar 3-step fashion, and is loads of fun for the young or young at heart. For example, you can add your own brushstrokes-with or without the tracing paper (original photo) visible-as well as experiment with a variety of effects with real-time previews (Color Overlay and Quick Warp effects are new in this version).
You can customize the photo painting in myriad ways, too. The only tiny downside is that there’s no photo painting status bar, so it can be tough to know when the program is finished painting, especially when using the pencil-based presets with really thin strokes.
The whole photo painting process is shockingly fast, even on large file sizes. Here are the results of the Oil Painting (top) and Colored Pencil Drawing (bottom) presets, though the latter includes a paper texture applied to a new layer filled with gray. When the painting’s finished, the Soft-Cloner brush activates itself, allowing you to paint over areas in order to restore details from the photo, especially handy for eyes and faces. Next, watch in amazement, and enjoy a beverage, as the program paints millions of brushstrokes right before your eyes. The insanely simple painting process goes like this: Use the Photo Painting panel to open a photo, pick from 11 painting style presets, and then click the Play button.
A welcome screen helps those new to the app get started quickly-you can choose to create a new painting or drawing, open one you’ve already started, create photo art (incredible fun!), pop open a handy QuickStart guide, or visit Corel online.Īs you can see here, the result of a photo painting in Painter Essentials 5 is vastly improved from the previous version (Impressionist style was used here on your author’s cat, Sherlock). Its simplified, floating-panel based interface exudes a friendly and uncluttered feel. The 64-bit and Apple Retina-happy Painter Essentials 5 was rebuilt from the ground up using the new code base of its pro-level sibling, Whether you’re an aspiring artist or a photographer, there’s a lot to enjoy in this new release. It includes a whopping 31 new and useful brushes-including some of Painter 2015’s hot new Particle Brushes-plus two new tools for creating mirror and kaleidoscope paintings, a vastly improved photo painting engine, a powerful brush-tracking utility, real-time effect previews, and more.
Targeted toward hobbyists, art enthusiasts and emerging photo painters, Painter Essentials 5 was redesigned to be smoking fast and far easier to use. Awakening from seven years of slumber, a new version of Painter Essentials has finally hit the streets.
