This application plain sucks! It feels like some old java clunker. Lame lame lame lame lame! Keep your trash on Windows-only where it belongs Corel!

So far, so good! I'm not sure I would have made this a version bump but at least it is an update. I've been using Painter since it's inception and frankly 11 is the best it has ever been. Sure, it has it's idiosyncracies but so does PS.

For me it's about getting my pieces finished and looking like I want them. Painter 11 improved on both of those. I will continue to use and I'm going to try to help improve the software.

You have 30 days to evaluate the software. Use it and see for yourself.

NOT an "UPGRADE"... - Version: 11.0, 3/1/2009 12:15AM PST

This is by far not a new Version or an upgrade! It is a minor update, and should priced as such. Also, bugs that had been fixed in previous versions, are there again such as horizontal pixel lines when painting and/or zooming.

When painting on layers, transparency still defaults to white unless you choose "pick-up underlying color". Blending modes introduce nasty rings and artifacts.

Photoshop files with layers are just as bad as ever, especially if you have even one layer that uses a blending mode that isn't supported within Painter (to be expected really).

The program is a very bad PC to Mac port, and uses NONE of the Mac core or development tools, nor does it adhere at all to Apple GUI guidelines.

Summary: it was developed on and for a Mac back in '86 I believe. Since then it has changed hands numerous times, and landing in the hands of Corel is probably it's death nell for us Mac users. This "version" just goes to prove it.
