When it is working in optimal performance though it is easy to see how engrossed one might get, considering the creative possibilities Painter 2022 offers. It basically shows you how well your baseline, CPU, and GPU are contributing to brush performance, offering you a score in red, amber, and green.īecause Corel Painter 2022 is aimed at replicating real media in immense detail it obviously becomes ‘needy’ in terms of your hardware’s attention, so to speak, so making sure you’re not running much else in the background is also recommended. Some of those ‘heavy weight’ painting techniques can seriously eat into your memory and graphics processor, but the brush performance accelerator you are presented with on opening Corel Painter 2022 does a fine assessment on how well the program will run on your setup, and offer handy suggestions as to how certain upgrades or tweaks might benefit your user experience. Refinement to the watercolour brushes and workflow is welcome (Image credit: Corel)Ĭorel Painter 2022 is heralded as the fastest yet, which it would be, being the latest version! In all seriousness though the GPU acceleration, added in 2020, has been tweaked to deal with those new and enhanced brushes. If you draw comics for example, you may only use a couple of sizes and brushes to ink your work – now, your custom palettes mean your flow is even more super smooth. You can keep a selection of your favourite brushes at hand in a custom palette, and the brush size library gives you easy access to your most used sizes, again, if you know what you usually need before you start painting it is now even easier to have everything at hand. The possibilities just rocketed in terms of experimenting with mixed media.Īnother super handy addition to the brush library is the ‘like’ button. You can now add the texture of wetness to dry media brushes, directly on watercolour layers, too. Use filters such as ‘watercolour compatible’ and hey presto – a list of every compatible brush from every category appears. It’s easy to forgive, however, and actually perfect for beginners, as every brush is now alphabetised and in easy to remember categories – with the addition of a filter search being its crowning glory. You can also close the Brush Selector bar by clicking the close button on the header bar.An overhaul and, some might say unnecessary, reorganisation of the brush library is the first thing that grabs you about Painter 2022. The Brush library panel allows you to browse all of the brush categories and variants for the currently open brush library. For more information, see Organizing and displaying brushes in the Brush library panel. You can change the display of the categories and variants.
For example, in the Pastels category, there are pencil, chalk, soft, and hard pastel brush variants.
Brush variants are specific brushes and brush settings within a brush category. Brush categories are groups of similar brushes and media. In the Brush library panel, brushes are organized into categories, which contain brush variants. You can access the Brush library panel by clicking the Brush Selector on the Brush Selector bar. The Brush library panel displays the content of only one brush library at a time. For example, you can create a new brush library, open a previously stored brush library, and view the most recently used brushes. It also allows you to organize and display brushes in various ways. The Brush library panel lets you choose a brush from the currently selected brush library. ĭisplaying the Brush Selector bar and the Brush library panel.
