![]() Some shortcuts are exactly the same in both programs so if you have been using one for a while, switching to the other one will be an easier transition. You can also create PDF files, though with limited options. The biggest advantage of an adjustment layer is that you don’t need to apply the adjustment directly to a layer containing your art work and you have the option to delete, modify or switch it off anytime.Ĭorel Painter can save files as PSD so that it’s possible to continue working with your painting in Photoshop. It seems there are no adjustment layers in Painter which is a big loss for me as I use them very often. I was happy to discover that Color Dodge mode has also been added to Corel Painter. and each software has a few modes that are not available in the other. I much rather prefer the color wheel available in Corel Painter which makes it easier to stick to color harmonies and build a beautiful color palette for your illustration.īoth programs have basic blending modes, such as Multiply, Overlay, Screen etc. Most Photoshop users complain about the color picker in Photoshop, and for a good reason. I noticed however, that there is no warp mode in Painter that lets you warp contents of a layer in a controllable and precise way. Transform tool in Corel Painter 2022 works very much like the one in Photoshop. ![]() Not only that, you can switch on Perspective-guided strokes option for your brush strokes to automatically align with the perspective, which is a very convenient option and makes drawing in perspective fast and easy. ![]() Here you can easily adjust the horizon level, vanishing points and grids. Sure, there is the vanishing point tool but it’s not nearly as helpful and easy to use as the perspective grid tool in Painter.

In Photoshop you have slightly more options, such as splitting your canvas using a circle, spiral or parallel lines. It is very handy and time saving when painting symmetrical shapes or patterns. While using this tool your canvas is split by horizontal or vertical lines and whatever you paint in one segment will be mirrored in the others. Mirror Painting is a tool very similar to Photoshop’s Symmetry Painting. On a side note, I was happy to discover that thanks to Painter’s Brush Accelerator in the latest version of Corel Painter (2022), the brush lag which I had experienced when using the older version was much smaller and I was able to enjoy all brushes mostly without problems. I have also struggled to control my brush strokes in Painter and I found myself spending a lot more time on the same sketch which in Photoshop took a lot quicker to finish. To me, Photoshop’s interface seems more intuitive and easier to use but that could be because I have been using it for years already. Both programs provide tools which very successfully simulate traditional media. Honestly, as much as I love Painter’s brushes, I don’t see that much of a difference between the two images. I did two quick sketches referenced from the same photograph, one in Corel Painter and one in Adobe Photoshop.
