The program’s workflow also sees some improvement, Pierce says, while keeping the focus on creating a paint software that’s simple for beginners. Mac users will also notice some improvements with enhanced operating system support. Pierce says that brushes will run faster, without a delay when painting, and that users of the old version will notice a significant difference in speed. The sixth iteration of the beginner-friendly paint program also sees a 1.3 to 1.5 times speed improvement over the previous version. A kaleidoscope tool will similarly repeat brush strokes across multiple plane lines. Painter Essentials 6 also includes a handful of tools designed to speed up the editing process - a mirror mode will create the other half of symmetrical drawings automatically in real time. Along with starting from a blank canvas, Painter Essentials 6 can also convert a photo to a paint style, or, for more control, users can paint in the details of the image with the different photo cloning brushes. When pairing the desktop software with a tablet, the program is also pressure-sensitive to the stylus (and flipping the stylus around automatically swaps to eraser mode). Brushes from chalk and pencil to oils and watercolors are designed to behave like the real thing - digital artists can even mix the paint colors together like with the physical paint palette. Like the predecessors, Painter Essentials 6 is designed with traditional art mediums in mind. On Tuesday, January 6, Corel launched Painter Essentials 6 with enhancements to brush technology, boosts in performance, and additions previously only available on the pricier version of the software. Introducing Corel Painter Essentials 6!Corel’s Painter mimics real paint mediums on a digital interface from the strokes to the way the “brush” even runs out of paint - and the new Painter Essentials is bringing more of those features to a simplified user interface.
