Corel Painter Essentials is a software that allows you to transform your favorite pictures into paintings.
The interface of the application is clean and simple to navigate through. You can start by drawing a picture or by opening an existing one.
So, if you are looking for quick results, then you can directly switch from "Drawing and Painting" mode to "Photo Painting".
Here you have a lot of options concerning automatic painting, including oil, impressionist and modern painting, illustration, simple watercolor and chalk drawing.
Furthermore, you can select the edge shape (e.g. rectangular, circular, jagged), color (e.g. saturate, darken, shift), paper (e.g. handmade, French, charcoal) and brush (e.g. smeary flat, soft flat oil, real round bristle).
In "Drawing and Painting" mode you can view a mixer, color wheel and layers. Plus, you can use tools for erasing, dodge, rubber stamp, color picker, paint bucket, text, crop, rectangular selection, layer adjuster, magnifier, grabber, and others.
Additionally, you can resize the canvas, rotate or flip the image, set the paper color, apply a surface texture, sharpen or soften the picture, hide the palettes, toggle the screen mode, and others.
The application takes up a massive amount of system resources and includes a complete help file with snapshots and video tutorials. No errors have popped up during our tests and Corel Painter Essentials didn't freeze or crash. We highly recommend this tool to all users.
