What's new in Painter Essentials 5.0.0.1102

Jan 16, 2015
  • Realistic Brushes and Effects:
  • Painter Essentials 5 has an expansive collection of Natural-Media brushes, paper textures and media that mimic traditional art tools like no other software. There are endless ways for users to express themselves with realistic watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels, chalks, pens, pencils, markers and more. With brushes and media that look and feel just like the real thing, users can create impressive art, without having to learn complex or technical tools.
  • Some exclusive tools include:
  • Particle Brushes: 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.
  • Mirror: Creates a perfectly symmetrical painting, as every stroke is copied onto the opposite side of the canvas. Not only does this new tool greatly increase precision and accuracy when painting symmetrical objects, it also saves a lot of time.
  • Kaleidoscope: Transforms basic brushstrokes into colorful and symmetrical kaleidoscope images, making it simple for new artists to create complex art.
  • Unique Photo Art Tools:
  • As photo apps and devices increase in popularity, users are looking for photo tools that will enhance their creativity and results. The photo art tools in Painter Essentials 5 go beyond the filters and instant effects found in many apps, allowing users to create artwork that’s more sophisticated, but just as easy to apply.
  • One-Click Auto-Painting: Allows users to choose an existing style, such as Modern, Impressionist or Watercolor, and watch Painter Essentials 5 transform a photo into a painting in just one click. The Auto-Painting palette uses SmartStroke brush technology that follows lines and contours in a picture, just like a real artist would. It’s instant photo art.
  • Photo-Painting: For a more hands-on experience, users can refine their auto-paintings or paint photos from scratch. Painter Essentials lets you restore details from the original image, or sketch and paint right over a photo (like using tracing paper).
