I have new favorite variants in these categories. Two New Brush Categories - Painter 2021 introduces Clone Tinting and Thick Paint Compatible brush categories. Photo-artists are going to do cartwheels when they see how this feature works. I like to use clone tinting with one of my original paintings or sketches as a clone source and alter or tint the original. The feature is difficult to describe but easily shown in a video. The source color can be altered completely or tinted with any other color. It works with any brush that can use clone color. New Clone Tinting - This feature adds a new level of creativity to cloning. I can't wait to show you how this feature works. Along with the feature, the layers panel contains new features, and there is so much more. Watercolor already had the drop and lift feature, but a default layer can be changed to a watercolor layer. A default layer can be changed to a thick paint layer with a single click, or the layer can be dropped to the canvas and lifted as a thick paint layer. Thick paint variants with impasto compatibility are a game changer in Painter. Thick paint can be applied thinly and so can variants that use impasto. I know the term thick paint implies that the paint is applied thickly, which isn't true. New Layer Compatibility - OMGosh, this new feature is the main reason to upgrade! Not only can you tell at a glance which brushes can be used on which layers, most impasto variants can now be used on Thick Paint layers. options are infinite, but can be simplified by using customizable presets. The result can be used for inspiration or even an under-painting to help the user get started. It can be used to add style to a sketch, painting, or to just a few brush marks. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is used to create a style from a photo that is the basic concept.

In Painter it is updated and given tons of user controls. Style panel and transfers - This feature made its debut last year in Painter Essentials.

I am surprised how much I like this feature. Before the image is opened, you can start your document by creating a Thick Paint, Watercolor, or Liquid Ink layer, setting canvas visibility and orientation, and choosing a color profile. This course will tame the learning curve.Įnhanced New Image Dialog Box - To be honest, if you had told me about this change, I would have thought, who needs it? But it is one of my favorite new features. But, as always, there is a learning curve. In fact, thick paint will be the go to medium for most users. You are going to love all the changes to the UI concerning thick paint. There are new command bars: File/Edit, Canvas, and Photo Art, which allow the user to customize toolbar use. I thought the UI couldn't get any better after Painter 20.
