Review by A Family Effort

Astonishing piece of software, and almost perfect.

I have used photoshop every day for 14 years for both creating graphics and for doing post production on photographs. So many times I have seen work produced by other photographers that has extra elements added in post production that has a sci-fi or fantasy feel to the image. I never knew how this was accomplished.

Corel Painter 2015 not only allows me to accomplish this, but also to create a completely new style for my work.

The product has an incredible stable of features and tools that are impossible to list and comment on individually.

For me, using this as a photographer and not as a digital artist, the range of tools that are are of most interest and I am already dreaming up new projects to use with are the airbrushes and the TX.

The ability to create psd files and go back and forward between Painter and Photoshop is such a major win since the file will retain all quality (because it is not compressed to a different format) and it will retain the layers.

Even if this only came with airbrushes, it would be a great tool in anyones studio.

Amazingly, this product only comes with one downfall that I can see - I cannot see any way to access the History of your edits. I will keep looking and will update if I find it, but as of yet, History remains elusive.
