Review by P. B. Sharp

Sketchbook Pro is really a delicious piece of software! Although I am not currently using a digital tablet I will acquire one soon to hitch up to Sketchbook. It is just impossible for me to create a decent line with a mouse as a pen. However, Sketchbook has allowed me to make many corrections and innovations on various photos. The erasers are really helpful as they can be used to smooth out an area or remove it altogether. There is a large stable of pens and brushes, flood fills and various blots and much more.

The picture you are working on is extremely bright and clear when loaded onto your sketchbook canvas allowing you to work with a great deal of precision. The software is intuitive, you can learn the offered techniques very quickly. You can even create your own brush. A box can be assayed that shows you what the stroke of your selected brush or pen looks like.

Children could use Sketchbook with a little supervision but the software will easily satisfy adult users. I find it a relief from Painter 12. Painter is so complicated I turn to Sketchbook with relief. For an excellent analysis of Sketchbook I refer you to reviewer Tante Moren’s review. She has really said it all! I add my enthusiasm and five stars for this remarkable product that is FUN as well as being efficient.
