A horrible amount of functional and UX bugs
- Emulate real art material like paints, drawing materials, etc.
- Has a lot of different brushes and other art materials
- It has a set up that can initially test your system to analyze and enhance performance
- 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
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.
- Waste of money
- Waste of time trying to work around all the bugs
- Waste of time trying to talk to customer service
I got Painter on a discount (luckily or I would have been really ticked off) and I wanted to try it out. I would NEVER pay $500 for it now I know it is riddled with bugs.
- They have made it look a bit like Photoshop, that helps if you're used to that
- A lot of choices in brushes and drawing tools
- Way too many functional bugs in general (too much to name one by one)
- Way too many UX issues overall
- Way too many inconsistencies (too much to name)
- When you use two or more screens, the problems quadruple
