They have some great brushes but the new ones (thick layers) do not blend well as the older ones. They claim they improve the UI, but they don't improve what really matters. Layer management is always tricky, but what other software is making a layer per brushes kind ? Corel Painter 2020 is still using several kind of layers, it make unwanted layers, real watercolor layers other thick paint layers, and another real watercolor layer, it is a headheache layer management.

I wil not buy a 2020 licence with all those problem and bulshit response I had from the company.

I own a Corel Draw Graphic Suite 2017 licence I do not use because it was in a bundle and it only work on windows. They're better than Painter 2008, for sure but they' not that fast. Since the years painter claim new version are 10X or 20X faster or even 2X faster, their brushes should be lightning fast. Well Avx2 is a Intel Core technology from +- 2012 and his CPU are mighty Xeon who can handle well Corel Painter 2020, their test is just not knowing Xeon existence).Ĭorel Painter is a company who do not recognize his mistakes or giving solution for the them.įaster than Corel Painter 2019 ? Not that much. (I saw a post of a guy with a still Mighty Macpro 2013 asking with anguish why Avx2 isn't support on his Mac. Nelson Chiu with Windows Expresii is able to GPU accelerate his software, with a lot more complicated 3D brushes modeled from Chinese painting real bristles. Their marketing is very clear : a lot faster with good GPU. I am not naïve thinking adding GPU it would be make my old Mac Pro a race horse, but it should help a little.Īnd yes I was buying the GPUs for Corel Painter 2020 Use in mind. I have a 2009 Macpro Nehalem Cpu (+- i5 nowadays on benchmarks) and just buying for it a compatible 2017 Radeon Rx 580 8 go and DDR5 Memory,Īnd yes, painstormstudio recognize it and his open GL 1.2 abilities. It neither works on the Macs, that is the problem. I think that Corel made it working for windows.
