Also from this welcome screen are links to tutorials, gallery and news over at Corel’s Painter website. On opening, you see the Welcome Screen where you can directly access previously opened documents and specify if you’re working on laptop or tablet (here you can also chose right or left handed usage). Dark, elegant and giving good contrast in the workspace, the interface brings the most important part, your artwork, to the fore. Corel Painter Essentials InterfaceĪfter a smooth installation and relatively fast software start, you’re ready to take a look at the interface of this new Painter Essentials version. The software is available for Mac and PC. Changing from laptop to tablet allows adjustments for tool settings to become larger and icon based, palettes are as default minimized. The new version of Corel Painter Essentials, version 7, offers improved pressure sensitivity for graphic tablets and is equipped with Presentation, Laptop and Tablet Modes for flexible usage. But the beauty of this kind of medium cannot be disputed either as art or of the use as graphic design elements. Myself as graphic designer, have only basic painting skills when it comes to wielding a brush or spatula filled with oil or water colour paint. Ever wanted to start digital painting but didn’t know where to start?
