Keep in mind though that the tablet surface is important: it's difficult to draw on a completely smooth tablet. I'd recommend looking at the range of products that Wacom have - they used to occasionally do bundles with Painter if you're just starting out though, you might want to just look at some cheaper tablets on Amazon. It's been a while since I've looked at tablets so my knowledge is a little out of date. I'm not set on getting the tablet, but thought that was a requirement or at least a better way to do digital art no? This Humble deal is a great offer for art dabblers or photographers! Have had some version of it on the PC ever since. I started with Painter Classic 1.0 for the PC in 1999, then upgraded to Painter 8 in 2004. Painter was originally a Mac program developed by Fractal Design (1991?), which merged with RayDream, then MetaTools, to become MetaCreations. Regarding Corel Painter however, which is cross-platform Mac compatible, I have not seen those types of Windows dependencies, thus a longer life span of usefulness with older versions. This comment above was about CorelDraw, which is a Windows only application.

You were lucky that just updating your current OS resolved your issues! I think that the Corel developers must use the latest Windows programming libraries to advance their latest products with the latest new features that were not available on earlier versions of the OS. In this case I had an up to date OS, but needed an updated application.

Fortunately I took advantage of an upgrade offer just before Corel stopped offering upgrade editions of that product.

I think that you have made a great point about Corel software!įor example I had an older version of Corel Graphics Suite X4 (from 2008) that would NOT install and run on Windows 10, but ran just fine on Windows 7. Just thought I would give a heads up, if you are on Win 7 and you get some odd behavior, make sure Win 7 is fully updated.

In fairness, they do say that on their site. It seems as though this software really needs windows 7 to be up to date.
