We aimed to lift any restrictions on designers’ workflow and creativity, so we redesigned the interface to make it fully customizable and adaptable. This version of CorelDRAW fully embraced the digital age, providing access to community-generated and premium cloud-based content. I don’t think you can go wrong with it.In March 2014, we showed the world what we had been working on: an improved edition of our industry-leading CorelDRAW, this time CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7. Having said that, if you want to know how Corel Painter’s technology feels like and don’t have the budget to go there yet, Painter Essentials is a great entry point with just the right tools you need to fall in love with digital painting while having fun, even if you still don’t know how to paint. All have their strengths and shortcomings, so what’s considered the best program might vary from person to person. There are some great little painting programs for the low-budget market of digital painting. But my two thumbs-up comment on this process is that in Painter Essentials 7 it is SO easy! I can see newcomers having endless hours of painterly fun with this feature! You’ll find many tutorials at Corel for this. There are tons of ways to play with the Auto Painting as a start, and then tweak and re-paint areas that you want to detail or add things to. I even tried it on my own traditional paintings (photos or scans of them), and it was crazy fun to re-stylize them into more painterly styles.

Choose from an impressive range of AI styles for photo painting, including Bold Watercolor, Colored Pencil, Colorful Dabs, Impressionist, Smooth Acrylic, Van Gogh, Watercolor Portrait, and Charcoal Drawing. You can convert your favorite photos into paintings using neural networking and the strength of Painter’s brush engine.

This is great for beginners not to feel discouraged if they’re trying digital painting for the first time!Īrtificial Intelligence-based Photo Painting Big brushes, dynamic speckles, you name it, I haven’t suffered. Whatever I played with, even in relatively big canvases, wasn’t laggy, which I find precious. Performance has been enhanced and, even though I haven’t tried previous Essentials versions, I can tell. The Dab Stencils and Dynamic Speckles are not new to me, since I come from Painter 2020, but if you didn’t try them, they are delightful and bring so much creative potential to the program! Besides this, after playing with all available brushes, I’m confident there is a brush for each need, especially if you’re new to digital painting. I’ve played with all the brushes and I loved most of them. In any case, there are tons of brush packs one can add by clicking on the top of the brush selector.
