    Corel Painter does have a lot of great brushes, and they do emulate real art supplies very well. Especially the thick paint is well done. But unfortunately there are so many functional and UX bugs that overall it is just horrible to work with. When contacting customer support about it, they really seem clueless about the seriousness of the situation, and clueless about what proper UX is in general. They have tried to make it work a bit like Photoshop, which is a good move but then some things are absolutely not intuitive at all and they are definitely missing the mark horribly with so many issues. I would highly recommend using Photoshop instead, though you'll have to download them separately; it also offers a lot of great brushes nowadays and works much much smoother without all those aggravating bugs of Painter. The price of Corel Painter is just not at all worth all these horrible bugs.

    In my experience, I have used PicsArt in lots of projects which helped me to complete the projects on time with satisfactory results. Mostly I use the Android app which is super easy to use. I have created multiple templates for my business. But I think it should remove the watermark on video editing also in the free version. It helped us to create unique pre-designed templates with step by step process. Apart from that, I have never faced any issues with this tool.

    • Basic Photo Editing - more robust than your basic iPhone photo editing tools, but much simpler (yet still powerful) and user-friendly than Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
    • Filters - a large variety of simple and complex photo filters with the ability to adjust the strength. A nice blend of filters can really enhance a photo without making it look heavily filtered.
    • User friendly - all across the board, this app is super easy to use and really powerful too. I can't imagine editing a photo on my phone without it.

    Cons
    Corel Corporation
    • Way too many functional bugs, makes it hard to work with
    • Bad UX and usability, too much unintuitive behavior, makes it particularly hard to work with
    • Overall looks and behaves as if it was coded in the '90s, it really needs a complete UX overhaul
    • Did I mention the many bugs yet? Yeah? I'll mention it again because it's bad

    • There are a lot of features available to only paying subscribers, but all those features still appear for the nonpaying user, marked by the crown icon. Particularly with filters and stickers, it can be annoying to scroll through the majority of locked options to find the handful that is free. A filter option would be nice.
    • It would be nice to have access to previous projects where you could still go back and undo edits you've made. The draft feature seems to only be good for one project at a time.
    • Layers would be nice. That way when you use a sticker or add a photo on top and go on to make more edits, you could still move them around instead of just having to undo everything and re-add the stick or additional photo.

    Usability
    Corel Corporation
    If it wasn't quite clear yet, I'll state it again: the usability of Corel Painter is, simply put, horrid. And I am not talking about rendering, lagging, etc., it is not even all that bad there. I am talking about the weird issues like being unable to move a brush into a custom brush palette when you work on a second screen, like being unable to move the software onto the second screen in the first place unless you separate all the palettes and the windows (and if nobody tells you upfront there is no way of knowing because the manual doesn't state this at all), and then having to drag all your separate windows and palettes over one by one every time your computer wakes up again, and they won't really want to move to the other screen but only through a tiny corner of your screen, and the fact that you have to scroll through lists and lists of fonts but can't search and when you apply this font, add another piece of text the font jumps back to the default font of all the text already applied even when you haven't selected any of the text. Just to name a very small few.

    It was really hard to get them to understand what I was having problems with. It was hard to get the message through that Painter has an unacceptable amount of functional and UX bugs. When I finally talked to someone who was easier to communicate with, he was very stoic about the situation, like they didn't really care about the awful amount of bugs.

    Corel Painter has support to multiple OS and across all the devices. Coloring and multi layer imaging works very well. The new enhanced brush settings and the redesigned brush libraries.

    I used Lucidchart to develop architect-level integration flow diagrams to visualise integration flow. But Picsart has a user-friendly UI to develop and edit HQ pictures as per business requirements but some options are an enterprise where we need to pay and purchase those features and filters to use them while editing images.

    • It has a positive impact of decreasing time taken to create graphics for presentations
    • It has a positive impact of decreasing time taken to create annotated videos with text and sound
    • It lacks advanced editing features, hence has a somewhat negative impact by not facilitating imagination of users
