If you’re creating CG graphics, you should already have a 1 GB+ hard drive. You can get away with just using 2 GB of RAM, but who would you be kidding? Corel recommends 8 GB or more of RAM. But we need to cover this before diving into all of the fun stuff.Ĭorel Painter 2019 is available for both Mac and Windows users running 64-Bit operating systems.
You may or may not have the world’s most powerful computer. So for most of this, I was using a fully functional demo of Corel Painter 2019. When I began writing this review, I had not yet shelled out the money for the upgrade. See this press release for more information.) (An upgrade from version 11 for $125 USD. But this year, Corel has tempted me with an offer that I had trouble refusing.
My last upgrade was Corel Painter 11, which has served me well for many years. Personally, I have only upgraded about three times. Although it has had many challengers over the years, Painter in my opinion still retains its crown. Back then, Painter was the established standard for raster based art. You can tell, that I’m pretty long in the tooth when it comes to using Corel Painter. This was back when everyone was using freakin’ LightWave for 3D modeling. This was when QuarkExpress 3.0 was the standard for desktop publishing and you couldn’t find a printer who’d use anything else. I have been using Corel Painter since it was Fractal Design Painter - back before OS X and candy-coated iMacs were roaming the earth. That’s the problem with selling upgrades, your new and improved baby has to give users reasons to care about this year’s version. Sure, there are new fancy features, brushes, under-the-hood improvements - but you’re likely to only use maybe a handful of tools. As you start reading these first few lines of this review of Corel Painter 2019 you will likely find yourself in either one of two camps - either you’re already a user of what has been the gold standard for natural media and painting or you’re currently a curiosity seeker that has been using other programs for your CG art and fearful to take that plunge for one reason or another.Įvery year Corel releases a new upgrade to Painter and you may have lacked the motivation to even give the new demo a spin.
