- Good for Tech Imaging
This looks like a fine software program if you're into creating images. I'm really not that tech savvy and have not used the program only for that reason. The product does not come with the markers, etc. that are pictured - that is for illustration purposes only.

Corel makes great products and this one should be no different.

- Masterpieces the Easy Way
Whether you're using a Wacom tablet or just a mouse, you can quickly achieve painterly styles either free hand or with existing art and photographs with a few clicks and create unique pieces of art with minimal effort.

Being a user of Photoshop for about 14 years, I can tell you, this is not a competing product - it is a complementary product. The two do very different things in very different ways. Great for amateur artists or professionals, Painter 4 Essentials has great video tutorials to get you started.

I installed this on two different machines to test it out - once on a one-year-old MacBook that has the older video card w/ 64MB of shared graphics memory and on a new (early 2008) iMac with a 512MB graphics card. The difference is striking on performance. While this product would probably be great on one of the newer MacBooks with 144MB of shared memory, it stuttered and was slow on my older MacBook. It flies on my iMac... and this is clearly due to the graphics memory differences and not because of a moderate processor jump.

I'd recommend anyone trying this new out of the box to sit through the tutorials at least once to familiarize themselves with the interface - to me, it was not initially intuitive.

Fun, affordable, powerful product.

- A great painting program for the price.
Well I've only had Painter Essentials4 for a few days but I'm a fan.I get the feeling it is to PainterX what Photoshop Elements is to Photoshop - a lot of the power at a fraction of the price.
I've used PS Elements for a while and have a plug in (Virtual Painter) for rendering paintings from photos and it does a good job. But for a few bucks more PE4 has it beat. And if you are familiar with Elements you will be at home with PE4.A lot of the same tools and you can save in photoshop format.Highly reccomended.

- I'm glad I've used it
This is a really unique item to me. I don't mess with pictures much but have always wanted to be able to craft a unique gift for someone on those "off" holidays where a small gift or card is expected, but I just don't get around to getting the card. This has given me a solution for Valentine's Day. OK, I hate buying flowers every year. I don't like buying chocolate in bulk shaped like little hearts. I don't like teddy bears. But this product provided me with a way to give my darlin' a picture of us that she hadn't seen before in a way that would more than likely cost a lot more than I have a tolerance for. It was fairly easy to use. There's a tutorial to take you through the steps, that I felt was very helpful. I jumped out about half way through and started playing with it myself. I couldn't stop messing with the photos. There were tons of options to select from. Brushes and types of paper and colors and styles and on and on. Every major style of art can be reproduced by me on my photos. I can change the colors, the size, the layout and if I'm stuck, well, you can just let the computer do it for you and then just stop it during the process at any time. Yes, they have an auto feature if you're not feeling very creative. I'm sure more experienced artists and photographers have very expensive tools at their disposal, but this is perfect for me. A small learning curve and great results.

I was really impressed and I didn't expect to be.

- Fun in a Painting Program
Corel Painter Essentials is a wonderful entry level drawing and painting program. It is just plain fun to use. Even if you don't have a drawing tablet, you can still create a masterpiece. Select your color, select your brush and begin. The brush tool reminded me of tempra painting in kindergarten. The full wide brush strokes. Going over an existing line again, with a different paint color, to see how the blend looks. Results were just as good (or bad) as I remember them growing up.
If you prefer drawing to painting you can choose pen or charcoal.
You can scan sketches or photos and paint directly on them. You can even have the program automatically transform an imported picture into an oil painting, impressionist painting, watercolor sketch, pencil sketch or a chalk drawing. The included tutorials will show you how easy it is to transform and create beautiful works of art.
The program is easy to use. The auto transformations are useful and the results can be fantastic. The wide selection of tools and palettes will make almost anyone happy.
Definitely this is one program an art hobbyist should have. Even a professional could find this program to be a useful tool - the results are astonishing. Enjoy!
