In terms of usage, it's virtually identical to Clip Studio Paint Pro (opens in new tab), which is a more basic version of the same software. Hallelujah! You can use this program to make beautifully smooth strokes that widen and thin where you wanted them to. I've only had the briefest encounter with CSP so don't have anything to say about it.Clip Studio Paint EX is a mix between Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop – minus the photo correction tools – since it allows you to use vector and raster layers in the same file, while also giving you organizational tools to arrange and work on your comic book's page layout within one program.
I'll be honest and say it annoys me, but they do work fine. It's when you get into things in dialog boxes that aren't updated yet. All the day-to-day regular use UI is totally modern. I've never felt the need to buy or download extras unlike in Photoshop where the out-of-the-box experience is meager.Ĭorel's been improving the UI for years. I will also say that it's worth more than $50 for someone looking to get an art store's worth of traditional medium feeling brushes. I'd say this is the single biggest disadvantage.
I'll say I'm not a huge fan of Corel pricing and have only updated once in 3 years. This may or may not be a good thing for you, but it's probably why some people think it's too complicated. There are multiple brush engines in Corel Painter depending on the medium with different settings for each. It's just a matter of what the program is geared more towards. But don't take this to mean that you can't or shouldn't work with layers and blending modes in Painter like any other program. If you're the type that subscribes to the philosophy that achieving painterly looks in digital is about following closer to traditional techniques then Painter rewards that - especially with it's highest fidelity natural media simulations. If you're a person who needs to tweak every stroke endlessly then be aware that beyond layers and simple masking there's not a lot of support.
This also means that Painter hasn't invested in non-destructive workflow features like adjustment layers found in something like PS. If you're into more of a painterly look then it's definitely worth considering.
If you're doing more comics style and colouring then Painter probably doesn't have any advantage vs anything else. Corel Painter user for 10 years, but also use Photoshop.
