Corel Corp., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, recently debuted Corel Painter X3.
The new version features new tools, such as new Jitter brushes that produce more organic art, and flow maps that direct the saturation of wet media as it interacts with the canvas. Artists also will save time with workflow enhancements when cloning with crosshairs, drawing in perspective and transforming multiple layers.
Additionally, a brush search engine now makes it easier to find the perfect brush, while the advanced brush controls simplify customization options, according to the company.
“Painter X3 is the result of an immensely collaborative effort with professional artists across the world to understand how we could improve the user experience, optimize the existing workflow and add new technologies to push the boundaries of digital art,” says Andy Church, senior product manager for Corel Painter. “What we’ve created with this version is more than digital art software; it’s a platform for inspiration, creativity and reflection.”
Corel Painter X3 is available in English and can be downloaded from Corel’s website at corel.com/painter. The box versions will start shipping in two weeks. In North America, the full version of Painter X3 costs $429, and the upgrade for registered Painter 11 and 12 users is available for $229.
