Title: Painter 2015: Faster, more stable, incredible new brush tools Post by: HCK on September 24, 2014, 03:00:25 am Painter 2015: Faster, more stable, incredible new brush tools
<article> <section class="page"> <p> It’d be easy to begin by rhetorically asking how “the world’s most authentic digital art studio” (as Corel has described Painter) could get any better. But that wouldn’t be an honest question. If you’ve ever used Painter, which is geared toward traditional artists, illustrators, photo artists, and educators, you know exactly how it could be improved. For all of Painter’s artistic prowess, it has needed to be far more stable and far faster—especially on a Mac, which has been stuck in 32-bit land for too long.</p><p> Happily, that’s all changed in Painter 2015: The new, 64-bit native version is noticeably faster and, at least in my testing, crash-free (knock on wood). Combine that with a new set of physics-based brushes that produce realistic fur, fire, fabric, water, and smoke, an improved brush-tracking utility, a new control for producing realistic randomness in brushstrokes, new workspaces, and a slew of new media (papers, patterns, textures, and so on), this update is huge.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2687116/painter-2015-faster-more-stable-incredible-new-brush-tools.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Painter 2015: Faster, more stable, incredible new brush tools (http://www.macworld.com/article/2687116/painter-2015-faster-more-stable-incredible-new-brush-tools.html#tk.rss_all) |
