Features
Corel Painter X offers a broad range of digital painting, sketching and illustration
tools that inspire creativity, increase performance, and further extend file
compatibility with other industry-standard tools and applications, such as Adobe
Photoshop.
Increased Performance
Painter X is optimized to provide artists with the fastest version of Painter
ever. Depending on system hardware, brushes perform up to 35 percent faster, while
opening and saving files is up to 200 percent faster!
RealBristle Painting System
This new painting system heightens the responsiveness of the brushes and represents
a major milestone for digital painting. You can now faithfully replicate the
sensation and interaction between the paint, canvas and brush.
Composition Tools
Divine Proportion and the Rule of Thirds help you visually arrange a blank canvas
prior to sketching or painting. This is ideal for helping you create stunning
compositions, whether you're painting from a blank canvas or cropping a photograph
before transforming it into a painting.
Widely used throughout history by artists, designers and architects, divine
proportion is a ratio of approximately 3 to 5, which is generally recognized
as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Corel Painter X provides palette controls
for the Divine Proportion composition tool, which let you adjust the orientation,
size, angle of rotation, display colors, opacity and grid levels.
Workspace Manager
Easily customize and back up your workspaces, as well as export and share them
with friends and colleagues.
Photo-Painting System
It's now easier than ever to create stunning paintings from photographs. Major
improvements offer greater control when underpainting, and new SmartStroke
technology uses brush strokes that dynamically adhere to the lines and contours
in the original painting.
Underpainting
This palette includes color schemes based on various artistic styles, such as
Impressionist, Classical, Modern, Watercolor, Sketchbook and Chalk Drawing.
You can also match your Underpainting palette to that of any open image.
Auto-Painting Palette
Automatically apply random paint strokes that vary in stroke type, direction
and pressure. Choose the type of brush stroke and adjust the preset options
to determine how the brush interacts with the canvas.
SmartStroke Painting
Create brush strokes that follow the lines and contours in your original photo.
By enabling Smart Strokes, you can dynamically change brush size, stroke length
and pressure, based on the detail and focal areas of your original photo.
Universal Mixer Palette
For multicolor selection, this palette gives you better control over color blending
between the Mixer palette and the canvas.
Dodge and Burn Tools
These new image enhancement tools make it easier than ever to prepare your photos
for paintings. The Dodge tool lets you lighten, or overexpose, specific areas
of an image. Conversely, the Burn tool lets you darken, or underexpose, specific
areas of an image.
Adobe Photoshop Support
Maintain layers when transferring files between Corel Painter X and Adobe Photoshop.
Improved layer grouping and combining, and enhanced support for layer merge
modes, help you work more efficiently.
Wacom Support
Use the entire Wacom product line with Corel Painter X, including the Cintiq
21 UX interactive pen display, the Intuos3 pen tablet and the Wacom 6D Art
Pen.
Match Palette Effect
Match the color and intensity between 2 images. Just open an image that features
your desired color scheme and use the Match Palette effect to bring that color
to the image you want to change.
Windows Vista Support
Use Corel Painter X with Microsoft's latest operating system.

for use on Intel-based Mac computers.
