Perhaps among general public, the name of Corel may not be
as famous as Adobe. But in fact, there are quite a lot of digital artists who
rely on Corel's software to complete their works. And now they will be happy
because Corel has just released the latest version of their drawing software, Corel Painter 2016.
Corel Painter 2016 brings a number of new features that are
quite unique. The main feature is 131 new types of brush that are accompanied
by a number of advanced technologies. One of them is the Dynamic Speckles,
where this feature combines the brush thickness control with the particle
physics laws, so that your brush strokes can be more gentle and dynamic.
Still about the brush, Corel Painter 2016 also brings the
Audio Expressions feature. Simply put, this feature allows the brush strokes
react to sound, both that's captured by a microphone and from a song that's
played on the computer.
In other words, the size, angle, and also brush color
variations can change following the music or your voice. If there is a song
that's being played, your brush strokes will resemble to the frequency waves of
the song, perhaps this is ideal for those who like to create abstract arts.
From the appearance, Corel Painter 2016 also provides a
Presentation Mode. This mode actually will eliminate all existing toolbars so
that you can concentrate on your work alone. This mode is clearly intended for
advanced users who have been familiar with a series of Corel Painter's keyboard
shortcuts.
At the same time, Corel Painter 2016 also provides a
learning mode for new users. Users can practice with a variety of special
contents that will be updated automatically in line with the progress. When
using a brush, a variety of tips will be displayed so that users will learn
about the appropriate brush to be used for certain works.
Furthermore, Corel has perfected the performance of Corel
Painter 2016, especially in the brush, which is claimed to be three times
faster than before.
Corel Painter 2016 can now be purchased for $ 429, or $ 229
if you are upgrading from a previous version. Sound expensive? Well, Corel also
offers a free trial for 30 days.
