Features in Corel Painter X
Corel Painter X offers a broad range of tools and features that inspire creativity,
increase performance, and further extend compatibility with other industry-standard
tools and applications. It delivers an impressive array of new features that provide
unprecedented power to replicate traditional art media.
Increased Performance
Corel Painter X has been optimized to provide artists with the fastest version
of Painter. Depending on system hardware, brushes perform up to 35 percent faster,
and file opening and saving is up to two times faster.
RealBristle Painting System
The RealBristle Painting System heightens the responsiveness of the brush and
represents a major milestone for digital painting. Artists can now faithfully
replicate the sensation of the interaction between the paint, the canvas, and
the brush.
Composition Tools
Updated composition tools help artists and photographers visually arrange a
blank canvas prior to sketching or painting, or create an aesthetically pleasing
composition from a photo using the Divine Proportion tool and the Rule of Thirds.
Used throughout history by artists, designers, and architects alike, the Divine
Proportion will help you compose your paintings like the masters. Similarly,
professional photographers often use the Rule of Thirds to compose their photographs.
Workspace Manager
Corel Painter X allows you to easily customize and back up your workspaces as
well as export and share them with your friends and colleagues.
Enhanced Photo-Painting System
It's now easier than ever for photographers to create stunning paintings from
photographs. Major improvements offer greater control when Underpainting, and
the Smart Strokes technology adds more intelligence during Auto-painting. The
Underpainting 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.
The Auto-Painting Palette transforms a photograph into a painting by automatically
applying brushstrokes while intelligently changing stroke size and direction
using Smart Stroke technology.
Universal Mixer Palette
For multicolor selection, the Universal Mixer palette gives you better control
over color blending between the Mixer palette and the canvas.
Dodge and Burn Tools
Dodge and burn capabilities have been improved with the addition of two new
image enhancement tools to the toolbox. Now preparing photos for paintings is
easier than ever.
Match Palette Effect
The Match Palette effect lets you match the color and intensity between two
images. Just open an image that features your desired color scheme and use the
Match Palette effect to bring the desired color scheme to the image you want
to change.
Enhanced Adobe Photoshop Support
With improved layer grouping and combining, and enhanced support for layer merge
modes, artists can more efficiently work between Corel Painter X and Adobe Photoshop.
Enhanced Wacom Support
Artists can use the entire Wacom product line, including the Cintiq 21 UX interactive
pen display, the Intuos3 pen tablet, and the Wacom 6D Art Pen. Painter X also
supports all of the Wacom features including pressure sensitivity, ExpressKeys
and Touch Strips with simplified setup.
