Great program, Still crashes every once in a while.
I've been using Painter since it was sold in a paint can. This program does what others only attempt. I frequently use Photoshop, and other graphics programs, but painter stands alone. My only beef is the occasional crash, I can't remember ever having a crash in Photoshop, but painter does maybe once a week... I couldn't see giving it 5 stars with the crashing. But still this program does some pretty cool stuff.

I also want to mention the new watercolor brushes. I use to do water color with brush and paint. Painter 12 has revamped their watercolor brushes, on previous releases I haven't bothered with them because they never seemed to work realistically. However in Painter 12, It's looking very realistic. The "light Fringe Real Watercolor" Brush lays down color great. It has a "drying" effect that pushes pigment to the edges and also into the deep spots on the texture of the paper. Very cool! You have to wait a moment to allow the strokes to dry, but in the old...

Customer review : BUY PAINTER 11
This review is broken into 2 parts 1st paragraph, for everyone, 2nd for diehard painter/photoshop folks.
(my background: I'm a professional game developer for Blizzard and I make my entire living using these programs.)

Until the release of painter 12 I thought that Corel was really polishing up a program that I have used since version 6! Then 12 came out, I think Corel is trying to distinguish their look from Adobe's programs and made it look like crap. The user interface has become more difficult to read and some real basics got harder to use and more intimidating for beginners. Look up painter 11 here on amazon, it's probably only for a limited time, but you can get it for about 70 bux! WOW! that is a deal and it's the right version to get.
