Corel Painter Essentials 4 -- Included!

With its streamlined interface, intuitive workflow, and range of creative options, Corel Painter Essentials 4 is the ideal way to get started with digital art. This simple-to-use home art studio is based on the world's most powerful painting and illustration software--Corel Painter. Whether photo enthusiasts are sketching and painting on a blank canvas, or transforming photos into paintings, Corel Painter Essentials 4 provides everything needed to create stunning artwork. Corel Painter Essentials 4 is a perfect complement to Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3.

Corel Painter Essentials 4 has two tabbed workspaces: Drawing & Painting for creating original artwork from scratch and Photo Painting for turning images into digital art.

Turn images into digital art: The Photo Painting workspace has three palettes that make it simple to turn a photo into a painting. All brushes within the Photo Painting workspace act as cloners and take their color from the source image.

• The Source Image palette lets users choose a clone source, and includes controls to adjust the opacity of tracing paper and to toggle tracing paper on and off. In addition, the source image is saved with the painting, meaning that users don't have to keep a separate photo open.
• On the Auto-Painting palette, users can simply select a preset and let Corel Painter Essentials 4 do the work, or choose their own auto-painting settings for more control. The Auto-Painting palette includes Smart Stroke technology, which provides more intelligent brush behavior during the auto- painting process.
• The Restore Detail palette helps users put the final touches on a photo painting by providing brushes for restoring some detail from the original photo, such as features in a subject's face.
