The Computed Circular dab has settings for both hardness and opacity, and opacity means what it says – strokes can now be partially transparent and brushing over the same area more than once in the same stroke will not build to a totally opaque color. In Painter 12, brush controls have been greatly expanded with the introduction of a brand new circular brush dab and stroke attributes. Stroke Attributes and New Digital Airbrushesįor years, one of the biggest questions asked by new Painter users coming from Photoshop has been, “How do I make the brushes in Painter act like Photoshop brushes?” Before, there were tricks here and there that one could use, but the results were never really the same. Now the action is front and center and where it matters most. In Painter 11, this was available in a separate dialog window, which was a little clunky and often forgotten. The display order of categories and brush variants can be changed to the user’s preference through drag and drop right in the Brush Selector panel.
The Brush Selector allows both categories and individual brush variants to be viewed in an icon view without names or as a list view with names.Īlong with the redesign, the Brush Selector also helps keep brush libraries and categories organized. The Recent Brushes selector works exactly like the Tracker palette from Painter 11 and is the Tracker palette’s replacement. Also included above the lists is a row of the 10 most recently used brushes (these are also in the property bar of the main interface in the Default workspace). Now, both categories and individual variants are seen at the same time instead of having to open two separate dropdowns.
The Brush Selector received a massive overhaul along with the rest of the interface. These new docks are sticky – the brush selector will stay put! Brush Selector One last area of interest in the new interface are the docking bars both at the top of the Painter window as well as the bottom, which returns from older versions of Painter. For sliders in particular, both the draggable thumb and track are larger, making more accurate value selections easier with a pen. While talking about Wacom pen friendliness, all of the main controls, like sliders, have been slightly enlarged as well. The new arrangement takes up as little space as possible, leaving a larger working area for the main canvas. By default, the new toolbox is a single column with larger icons that should be easier to select quickly with a Wacom pen. Other areas such as the toolbox and the various media library selectors also received updates. Small changes like this are sprinkled throughout the interface to make the Painter experience more enjoyable. Now instead of a single-click, a double-click is required to collapse or expand a panel. This space-saving feature also solves a frustrating usability problem of individual panels being too easy to accidentally expand, collapse and move around the workspace while interacting with them. Panels, a slight terminology change for individual palette containers, have lost the long title bar in favor of tabs which can be docked side by side inside of a palette window or one on top of the other to create groupings. The darker color helps palettes fade into the dark gray background outside of the canvas (for those that use a windowed viewing mode).
COREL PAINTER 2016 NOT TRACKING STROKES MAC OS
Palette windows now have dark title bars which match across both the Mac OS and Windows platforms. It takes on a more modern look with unique, stylized icons and leaving behind the mismatched default system windows. The biggest, instantly noticeable change is the brand new user interface. The Painter team addressed quite a few long-standing requests and issues in this version, all exciting and all pulling together to create the best version of Painter yet! The Interface Overhaul New Palette Styling Corel Painter 12 was released earlier today, and is a massive overhaul of the Painter we all know and love.
