Hi folks,
One of the things I've been doing over the past few months is working on the Corel Painter Essentials 4 Beta team.
I found it very interesting to see what Corel has done with the Painter Essentials 4 interface and hope some of you will take a look at the videos linked at the bottom of the release announcement page on the Corel site, each of them beginning with an introduction by John Derry.
One reason is that I hope to work on the next full Painter Beta team which has not been announced yet but I expect it will be one day. I'd like to know what you think of the Corel Painter Essentials 4 interface and features in case any of them are considered for inclusion in the next full Painter version.
Personally, I'd like to see Corel Painter remain focused on being a digital art studio and not go too far into focusing on Clone painting photos, because Painter has always been so unique as a sophisticated digital art studio... designed for artists.
Not everyone will agree with me, of course, but that's my personal preference. This does not mean I won't support people who do Clone painting of photos because I will, and certainly respect anyone's choice as to how they use Corel Painter. Some photographers are using Painter to produce beautiful work based on their photos and making a very good living doing portrait paintings on commission. That's nothing to sneeze at, for anyone who wants to earn a living doing what they love.
Here's the link to the Corel Painter Essentials 4 release notice page at Corel:
Corel® Painter™ Essentials 4
Please take a few minutes to let me know what you think, even if you may never use Corel Painter Essentials 4 yourself. Again, it will be useful to get feedback should I have the opportunity to work on the next full Corel Painter version.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
