Hey everyone,
I was just curious of the difference between these three paint programs. Painter looks awesome but I already have photopaint. Is it really that much different?
Thanks!
I have all three of these programs, and as others have said; each has their own strengths and weeknesses. I find photpaint to be a little less user friendly when it comes to photos, but it is great for preparing a raster for a project for draw. Paint shop is strong when it comes to photo editing, and when they first intorduced their art-media brushes I got hooked. But if you want to truly get the digital painting experience, painter is your program. I've produced some half-way decent paintings from phots, and have had a couple posted on blogs and e-zines. You can see a lot of my stuff at kevinparnell.com. It's just a blog, I'm not selling anything.
The bottom line here as has been said by others: what is your goal here?
Kevin
