Enhance the Creative Process
New! Hard Media

New!
RealBristle™ Dry Media
Marker, pen, pencil and chalk media
reproduce the look and feel of their real-life counterparts in a way
that no other software can!
- Marker - intensify color with each
new marker stroke so you can color in one continuous shade or create
a buildup of color
- Pen - choose to create fine pen
strokes, or thick strokes and ink deposits, by changing the velocity
of your stroke. The faster you go, the thinner the line; the slower
you go, the thicker the line
- Pencil & Chalk - control shading by
changing the angle of your stylus on the drawing tablet. Choose
whether to draw with the tip or shade with the side of the nib-just
like in real life
Enhanced!
Selection Tools
A new Polygonal mode for the Lasso tool,
plus overall improvements to marquee tools and the Magic Wand, let you
make more nimble selections the first time around.
Enhanced! Wacom®
Support
Support for the entire Wacom product line,
including Cintiq® interactive pen displays and Intuos® pen tablets, gives you
most responsive digital painting software and the best digital art experience.
RealBristle™ Painting System
Replicate the sensation and interaction between
traditional paint and canvas with your pen and tablet. This represents a major
milestone for digital painting by making brushes totally responsive to your hand
and canvas, creating the most realistic painting experience.
Customizable Brushes
Create your own brushes in the type, size or
pattern of your choice, so you can make custom brush strokes and create artwork
that is truly unique.
Go Beyond the Digital Darkroom
New! Color Management
Create better color matches with new individual
color profiles for every document and improved color recognition for files
imported from Adobe® Photoshop®. This enhances your workflow because you save
time by having fewer color corrections to make.
Enhanced! Adobe®
Photoshop® Support
Maintain colors and layers when transferring
files between Photoshop and Painter. This saves time when importing and
exporting artwork between the two programs, because corrections are less
necessary.
Photo-painting Tools
Transform photos into paintings by hand, or let
SmartStroke™ brush technology in the Auto-Painting Palette paint a photo for
you. It follows the lines and contours in the picture just like a real artist
would. This lets you take the best of both worlds—photography and painting—to
create new forms of art.
Customizable Surface Texturing
Give your art added artistic undertones, plus a
level of texture and detail that no other digital painting software and
photo-painting tools can produce. You can choose paper textures for your canvas,
or create and customize your own textures to produce really unique artwork.
Learn from Unlimited Experimentation
Enhanced! Mixer
Palette & Swatches
Extra mixer swatches appear when you
enlarge the newly resizable Mixer Palette. Increase the size of the
Palette to put more colors at your disposal and have a clearer view of
your chosen color. Reduce the size when you no longer need to mix colors
so the Palette takes up less space on screen.
Smart Composition Tools
Divine Proportion and the Rule of Thirds and
Fifths help you visually arrange your canvas before sketching or painting to
create perfect compositions.
Flexible Digital Art Tools
Experiment with color theory, composition and
brush strokes to your heart's content, and produce exciting results-without the
toxins, mess and expenses associated with traditional art.
Universal Mixer Palette
For multicolor selection, this palette gives you
better control over color blending between the Mixer palette and the canvas, so
your colors are more precise.
Underpainting Palette
This palette includes color schemes based on
various artistic styles, such as Impressionist, Classical, Modern, Watercolor,
Sketchbook and Chalk Drawing, so you can create art like your favorite muses.
You can also match your Underpainting Palette to that of any open image for
consistency.
Match Palette Effect
Match the color and intensity between 2 images.
Just open an image that features your desired color scheme and use the Match
Palette effect to bring that color to the image you want to change.
Increase Speed & Stability
Enhanced! Performance
Painter 11 is optimized to provide artists with
the fastest version of Painter ever. Depending on system hardware, brushes
perform up to 30% faster, creating a more true-to-life painting speed.
New!
Transformation Capabilities
Switch between different Transform modes
from one centralized tool, and choose whether to transform the complete
contents of a layer, or selected content, for greater speed, flexibility
and precision.
New! Resizable Color
Palette
Adjust colors manually with sliders on the Color
Palette. Enlarge the Color Palette up to 800 pixels for a clearer view of your
selected color. You can now also fine-tune the color wheel with your arrow keys
so it takes less time to find the perfect color.
