Introducing Corel® Painter® 2015

Corel® Painter® 2015 is the world’s most authentic
digital art studio. It’s like no other paint program
on the market. One of its hallmarks has always

®

been an expansive collection of Natural-Media
painting tools found nowhere else, and Painter
2015 builds on this with the addition of
revolutionary new brushes. Another distinguishing
feature is the passionately supportive community of
artists who combine their talent with the power of
Painter in a range of professions. Not only do they
actively participate in Painter’s development by
offering constructive feedback, they share their
work, tools and methods, inspiring and
encouraging digital artists around the globe.

Changing what’s possible in art

Long-known as the most innovative paint program,
Painter 2015 continues the tradition of pushing the
envelope of digital art. The addition of the new,
exclusive Particle Brushes allows a wide variety of
artists to express themselves in ways never thought
possible. This revolutionary brush category creates
brushstrokes that flow, spring, and gravitate onto
the canvas from a central point, opening up a world
of creative possibilities. Particle Brushes can be
controlled with precision or allowed to run free with
chaotic, beautiful results.

The unmatched finesse of Painter’s brush collection
has always set it apart from other digital art tools. In
Painter 2015, this renowned brush responsiveness
has been taken to another level with the enhanced
Brush Tracking utility. It lets artists intuitively control
pressure sensitivity and quickly apply those new
settings to the current variant, so they can get back
to focusing on what matters most — their art.

Indeed, one of the goals of Painter 2015 is to give
digital artists the freedom to focus on their work and
forget about technology. To that end, we’ve
delivered a native 64-bit application for our Mac
users, who’ll see faster performance during everyday
operations like opening files, working with multiple
layers, and more. In addition, all our users will notice
faster zooming, panning, and rotating, thanks to the
latest round of CPU optimizations.

We’ve always responded to what our community of
passionate users has had to say. In Painter 2015,
their insights and suggestions drove a number of
innovations, including the creation of a series of
custom user interface arrangements, each for a
specific workflow. And because they also told us that
they want the ability to create art anywhere,
anytime, Painter 2015 offers full PC Tablet and Real­Time Stylus support, and a mobile app for Android.

So real, it’s unreal

Painter 2015 is the most authentic Natural-Media
painting software because of its unrivalled ability to
emulate traditional art. And when you combine that
with the power it gives artists to mix and experiment
with media and methods in ways that simply aren’t
possible anywhere else, there are no boundaries on a
creative imagination, and no limits on where it may
lead.

We think if you give it try, you’ll quickly see why it’s
garnered such an ardent following. Painter 2015
isn’t so much a paint program as it is a creative
experience, one that’s so real, it’s unreal.
