But the sheer number of blending options (or perhaps the fact that they’re not as obvious as the smear brush in PS), seems to confuse people who’ve recently made the switch. This is one of several areas where I feel like Painter really shines over PS.
While it has its uses, too many beginners rely on it heavily instead of searching for better blending options, and more often than not it makes a painting look blurry, distorted, and amateurish. If you’re used to Photoshop, you’re more than likely very familiar with the Smudge/Smear brush. One of the questions I get asked most often is about blending. Sadly, there’s a severe shortage of Painter tutorials out there. I’m not a Painter “Master” by any stretch of the imagination, and pretty much everything I know about the program I’ve picked up on my own. I use Photoshop mainly for color touchups, resizing images, and scanning traditional media.
I’d say about 99.9% of any of my digital artwork is created in Corel Painter IX.
I switched over from Photoshop about three years ago, and (for the most part) haven’t looked back.
