Have Fun with Digital Art
With Painter Essentials 3, you can experience a huge selection of highly realistic digital art tools that replicate the real-word painting experience -- including watercolors, oils, pencils, acrylics, airbrushes and more. Artists' Oils lets you smear colorful "oil paint" on the canvas with thick, bristly brushes that are remarkably realistic. And if watercolor is your medium of choice, Digital Watercolor features breathtaking brushes that behave like real watercolor and even stay wet between sessions. A new rotate/flip canvas feature extends the flexibility of the digital art studio, while a new eraser tool and rubber stamp tool vastly extends the range of your work.

Brushes are the heart and soul of Corel Painter Essentials 3. There are 18 brush categories, ranging from crayons and chalk to acrylics, watercolors, and the new Artists' Oils. While most brush categories mirror the look and feel of traditional brushes, others offer you one-of-a-kind creative tools. And with new tutorials that give you tips as you paint, it's now easier than ever to get started with digital art.

To ensure that digital camera enthusiasts get the most out of their photos, Painter Essentials 3 supports Corel Paint Shop Pro X, Corel Photo Album 6, Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and Apple iPhoto. Painter Essentials 3 also features extended support for Wacom's new Graphire4, Intuos3, Cintiq 21UX, and 6D Art Pen. The newly enhanced Welcome Screen gives quick access to recently used files, tutorials, and brush and color management settings. Quick Start tutorials help you get up and running quickly, while training videos created by lynda.com and GeeGuides, which are included on the CD, guide you through the application and teach some exciting, new techniques.
