Review by Michael McKee

I’m new to Painter and have had a bit of a go learning it enough to review the program. It’s worth it. While the software is close to Photoshop in complexity it is also comparable in what it can do, which is an amazing amount. I’ve been sketching for a few years and that’s what I tried first. Since I have a medium sized Wacom pad it’s easy to draw with the program. It can emulate just about any artist media around including: pencil, charcoal, oil and water paints, and pastels. That’s all I’ve tried. All work beautifully. I think that I’ve become a fan of Painter and look to be spending quite a bit more time with it.
