Review by Daysong Reflections

I have not had the time to explore Corel Painter 2016 as well as I would have liked but it is evident that it is a powerful program with virtually unlimited possibilities. Of course it helps if one is a talented artist but I believe that even those with less than stellar abilities could produce some pretty good art with this software once they have learned its many different capabilities.

I installed Painter in Windows 7 Pro. The only problem I had with installation was that it needed Microsoft Net to be installed which is a very large download. I live in a rural area and my dsl connection is not the best so it took several tries to even get that installed. Then when I opened the software, all the components were not there so I had to attempt to reinstall but ended up with a repair installation. Once that was done, the program seemed to work well. Now all I have to do is find time to familiarize myself better with the controls and go through a few tutorials to get me started.

Learning new software is always a time-consuming process but I can tell that Corel Painter 2016 is a very powerful program that will be fun to learn. I look forward to what I might create with it.
