First things first. Painter is not a production tool like Adobe Photoshop, or LightRoom. It can certainly handle several of the same functions as these other programs can, but that is not what it was designed to do.
What it offers in general is an amazing suite of editing, and brush tools of the likes of which you may never have even imagined were possible. Being familiar with several of the previous versions of Painter, I loaded up the CD, and dove right in. It is nice to see that while there are numerous new additions to Painter X, the overall look, and feel of the basic program remains the same. And so, for previous version users such as myself, the transition to this latest version should be a snap.
What’s new? Well there are numerous new features, and so, here they are in no particular order.
Workspace customization. The great feature is one that I use with all of my “other” digital editing programs. It basically allows the user to set up, and use numerous workspace setups, like palettes, and toolbars, and then switch between them at will.
Auto backup, and Saving. Painter X now provides automatic backup features that add another level of protection in spite of system crashes, or power outages..nice!
Session memory: This feature serves to retain the numerous different settings (more…)
