Increased Performance
Corel Painter X has been optimized to provide artists with the fastest version of Painter--ever! Depending on system hardware, brushes perform up to 35% faster--and file opening and saving is up to two times faster! RealBristle Painting System
The new RealBristle Painting System heightens the responsiveness of the brush and represents a major milestone for digital painting. Artists can now faithfully replicate the sensation of the interaction between the paint, the canvas, and the brush.
New Composition Tools
New composition tools help artists and photographers visually arrange a blank canvas prior to sketching or painting, or create an aesthetically pleasing composition from a photo using the Divine Proportion tool and the Rule of Thirds. Used throughout history by artists, designers, and architects alike, the Divine Proportion will help you compose your paintings like the masters! Similarly, professional photographers often use the Rule of Thirds to compose their photographs.
