Introducing Corel Painter Essentials 3

Built on the award-winning technology of Corel Painter IX, this unique, dual-platform (PC and Mac) digital art studio can turn your photos into stunning paintings — faster than ever!

With the all-new, built-in Photo Painting Palettes, Corel Painter Essentials 3 turns photographs into paintings in seconds. Or start with a blank canvas and work from scratch with the incredible Natural-Media tools. Whatever the project, Corel Painter Essentials 3 is the perfect — and perfectly affordable — tool to begin exploring the exciting world of digital art.

• Create extraordinary paintings from automated tools, or mix your own paint, select a brush and begin from scratch.
• Choose from a long list of highly realistic digital brushes and styles that replicate the real-word painting experience — including watercolors, oils, pencils, acrylics, airbrushes and more!
• With new tutorials, the Welcome Screen and the Quick Guide palette — that gives you tips as you paint — it's now easier than ever to get started.
• Work seamlessly with Corel Paint Shop Pro X and Corel Photo Album 6 to enhance, paint, manage and share your photos (Windows only). It also opens and saves Adobe Photoshop CS and Adobe Photoshop Elements files, and is compatible with Apple iPhoto.
