The functions just work.īoth have very customizable interfaces. I also like the interface better, for when I'm using it on the go on my tablet. While I like the brushes more in Painter, Clip is way more stable. I tried it awhile back when they were Manga Studio.

Matter of fact they used to have a forum on the Corel site, but it was full of so many issues that people were having that they just shut the forum down. You also need to have a beefier computer to run it well.įor about 6 months now I have been using Clip. These and many more are problems that have plagued Painter since I first started using it in the 90's so it's pretty clear they don't know how to fix it. I have had the lasso tool stop working until you restart the program. It also crashes or freezes more often than other programs. Sometimes palettes will be off screen which is a pain. It also very buggy, for example right now I can not cut/copy or paste. However, Painter is also one of the most unstable art programs that I have ever used( tried most of the ones available). It has some really interesting brushes called particle brushes which make every stroke unique. It also has all of the tools I use in one package so I don't have to switch between programs.

I have also tried almost all of the painting software out there at one point or another.Ĭorel painter has one of the best brush engines around(only 2nd to Rebelle). I have a more painterly style, just for reference. I switch to Photoshop for about 5 years then switched back to Painter and now Clip Studio.
