Corel Painter Essentials 5 Digital Art Suite for PC and Mac (Old Version)

The companies customer service is a joke. I got this for my wife for Christmas. Tried to install and it told me invalid code. Been dealing with customer service for over a week abd no results. They keep giving me solutions to issues not related with my ptoblem. I was really excited to see what my wife can do with this but I am very disappointed. Id give it a zero star but I cant.

I really enjoy my Painter Essentials 5. A real value for the price. I have used the full program Painter in the past and find even with its limitations (such as no masks, limited ways of selection from individual layers etc) PE5 it is a good program. Very stable and has many of the basic good brushes. (Would love to be able to add more ). I found auto painting works very well. The buyer should have a basic knowledge of using layers to use this program to its full potential. I found it very compatible to use with work done in Photoshop Elements. Good videos on YouTube, but we could use more with simple basic painting use of the program. A good starting program for painting and a good painting program that does not take a lot of hard drive space up on your laptop. Try it you will like it!

Useless pos. Seriously. Thought it might offer most of the function of PS Elements with some FDP basics, seems to be none of the above.

The product is good, but the customer service from Corel is terrible. Strongly recommend looking for a different product for your needs. Amazon sells many different products to take care of needs. Shop around, dont spend your hard earned money on this product. You will need customer service and Corel currently policy is focused on sales, not retaining customers.

Was cheap... I never needed or opened it, so I gave it 5 stars regardless.

Accurate shipping, good price and quality, very satisfied. I want to buy again later. I wish the sellers development. Thank you.

It was incompatible with my PC. Like the concept, wished it had worked.

Very basic. It was hard for me to use as a beginner. It took me forever to figure out how to see and work with layers. If I was drawing over a picture, I had a hard time figuring out how to use a color. It kept wanting to use the same color underneath rather than a different color.

Wonderful product!

I use it now everyday to incorporate multi media and art into my digital work..Wouldnt be able to function without it now! Very easy to use and great tutorials
