Curious why did you upgrade what feature was compelling.
we us x6 have tried x7 too many problems for us at the moment.

I had adobe cc....didn't much feel like paying almost $80 for month to month OR the draconian yearly contract option. So I switched. all is new.

Hi Erik,
Welcome to a great community and great source of learning and helping others from around the world. Let me/us know if there is anything particular you like to learn more about. I am not only a illustrator and designer by profession - having lunch now before sitting and doing work for clients later - i am also one who write tutorials and webinars for Corel. But also write on my blogs. In combo of this great forum you can find tons of learning at CorelDRAWchannel on YouTube. And Corel website. Great to see you here.
Hi Stefan
You are probably on of the best organized users. I see you are offering tutorials wny chance you could organize a series with Jesus cota, jeff, Yourself just for Photopaint on how to use he tools etc with step by step instructions. I think you would find a market a lot of corel users use photoshop because they can find help so easily online.
Corel have missed an opportunity to keep users to one family. they need a photopaInt channel
painter is great but not part of the package.

Agreed

Be careful. David Huss put out a super book on PP a few years ago. I saw it on sale in the dollar stores (Ollies) for one dollar. A shame to see such great work fail at the sales counter.
PP is a great tool for printers but does not come close to the layer style effects PS offers. I also feel PP is the only program that calls layers objects and that kind of terminology shift also turns PS users off. I love Draw and PS and my perfect working combo. Perhaps one day PP will catch up to PS

V10 is not X7, also there has never been in history a greater depth in capability available to produce tools for training, nor a better atmosphere for it at Corel.
The future is bright and the time for Corel to take a guiding roll is now.
Hello David
who isn't a ps user due to lack of anything to compete, particularly PS cs6 extended 3d I agree graphics folks only use 30% of PS ability but Photo, video and effects types also use other features.
I think the combination of video and pdf is the way to go everything on line a series of practical tutorials . I still have a copy of David Huss' book somewhere but
the typical book is just boring Dr David Mutch nad an easy way to learn by doing most would probably develop skill faster with his projects than any book. I think he may be involved with corel down under. With adobe being cloud only I am certain there would be a market for paid lesson ware based on how to do specific types of work .
Maybe not but corel could certainly look at some of what is out there on adobe channels as how to grow the product support right now what's out there in photo paint just makes potential users users look for something else.

For the most part me, it has little to nothing added since version 7 that I use in my business. Between PSP, PP and AfterShot Pro I have all I need. I open PS files in PS only as a reference. unfortunately I can count the properly built files I received from PS users this month on one hand, in fact it's zero.
With modern technology and the right focus the world is )in terms of training material) open wide.

Corel needs to decide if they are going to continue to treat PP as a simple utility for CD of improve it and ad value to the entire suite by doing so.

That is exactly what I am waiting for.
Incidentally your books are great, your knowledge in color management is superior and as you know you handle all my large print projects. Only thing missing now is a few cans of brew.
Hi David
I hear you on the properly built files. They are rare here as well. We just had a client return to us, we lost them over a disagreement of who screwed up a project.
we were told don't touch the art work it was done by their professional designer so we did the layouts included the supplied JPGS printed and shipped, they didn't want full proofs they wanted just pdf's as proofs, they were told it was the best way. A little project $800 our lawyer collected the money (thanks to signed orders and signed pdf's).
The client finally fired the designer after two other failures. Came back to us still says we charge too much but when we do it, it works.
For Bob don't mention Brew or Mike in Canada will draw you some.
For Corel guys Please listen pp10 is still as good for 90% of functions as x7 come on guys have you just given up an decided painter is the product of the future.
