Corel Painter 12 for Photographers - part 3 of 1 2 3 4 5

by Mike McNamee Published

CMYK is not supported by Version 12.

The colour management Painter preferences may be set up to mimic your Photoshop defaults. At Professional Imagemaker we use Adobe RGB, Fogra 39, with all profile warnings enabled. An image brought to Painter and requiring the assignment of a different RGB profile is not a good idea, the colour went way off. It is better to prep your files in Photoshop and then transfer to Painter without any re-mapping of colours or changes of profiles.

Overall we found the program was responsive in Windows 7 64-bit. Both Wacom and Hanvon tablets worked OK.

In Use

It is not possible to go into all the detail of what you can do with Painter (there are lots of web-based tutorials available as well as some inspiring sites - try www.katerinasokolova.com for starters!). For the photographer a simple clone-to-paint is probably the best starting point. Here is the recipe:
