These are welcome additions to the Composite Methods and Merge Modes. And Color Dodge gives some interesting lighting effects. Though I didn’t think I’d find much use for it beyond image compositing, I found that Color Burn works especially well for glazing without muddying up colors.
Moving a selection also moves its contents To create brushes with an anti-aliased edge, I can use the new Hardness slider and modify the Dab Profile. This property adds stabilization to your strokes without adding as much lag as the Stabilization property (formerly known as Damping). Your mind will be blown.Īnother feature that I use often is Jitter Reduction. If your computer hardware is forcing you to work on smaller canvases, check out my video about upscaling with Adobe Super Resolution. Enhanced Cover brushes can work up to 75x faster with my Nvidia GTX 1080 GPU When you are using Impasto on Default and Thick Paint Layers, you’ll see a slight bump in performance too. (My Nvidia GTX 1080 is able to get 74-75x.) While we’re on the topic of performance, Painter 2022 should feel faster overall when you are using Enhanced Cover brushes, as long as your GPU is able to experience the up to 75x boost. In my opinion, all of your Legacy Cover brushes should be converted to Enhanced Cover, unless you prefer the look of the older Method. In addition to faster performance and more accurate color blending, you can also add anti-aliasing to the dabs. Going back to teaching old brushes new tricks, the Enhanced Cover Method allows you to modernize some of the older cover brushes. It’s fun to see an older brush technology learn new tricks. Especially when combined with the Enhanced Cover Method. I bet with some more experimentation, more types of effects can be achieved with Static Bristle. Static Bristle combined with Enhanced Cover can create some interesting effects Once you get past the unfamiliarity, hopefully you’ll find it easier to locate brushes. This single change to the Brush Library is going to have the most impact on Painter artists and it’s going to take the most adjusting to. You’ll find there are a lot of brush names that are identical to each other, and you’re supposed to infer the differences from the brush category. Might that cause confusion? Perhaps for some.Ī few of the brush categories have also been renamed. While I do appreciate the logic behind the changes, it makes my life more difficult as a Painter instructor.įor example, I have loads of tutorials directing people to use the Diffuse Blur brush, but now it’s called Blur Diffuser. One of the changes that I have sort of a love/hate relationship with is the reorganizing and renaming of the brush categories and variants. I’d have to admit, the feature that I use the most in Painter 2022 is one of the simplest: Pressing “Delete” will now clear the contents of a layer. Let’s take a walk through the software.Shift+Drag Dabs into a Custom Palette for quick access There are a few other bells and whistles, including a kaleidoscope painting function and other one-off special effects that are fun for awhile. Painter Essentials 5 is compatible with popular Wacom tablets. They recommend using a tablet and stylus to lay down the strokes, and that’s great advice.
In this second function, Painter Essentials 5 provides a very broad assortment of brushes and cloners and a powerful color mixing palette. The second function is creation of original art, either by starting with a literally blank canvas or by overlaying your choice of colors and patterns onto a tracing paper copy of a digital image. If you are accustomed to “getting what you want” through creative control instead of happily “wanting what you get” through random alterations, you may be disappointed. However, this function is automatic to the extent that other than choosing the style (e.g., Watercolor or Pencil Drawing) the user has no control over the creative process. It can automatically render any digital image into a painting or drawing and provides 11 style choices. Painter Essentials 5 has two primary functions.
