I'm guessing somewhere around the end of Q1 2009
It's certainly not gonna be too long anymore now since Corel has been selling Painter X at 50% for a while now.

Unless it is a typo, it looks like Painter 11 will be demonstrated in the U.K at Focus on Imaging 2009 (http://apps.corel.com/lp/emea/pspx2/focus_2008_uk/index.html) . 22nd-25th February at the NEC, Birmingham.

Fingers crossed on Painter XI color mixing...
I've been asking since at least 2005 (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=painter+rgb+jfrancis+multispectral&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=) for Painter to drop its RGB color mixing in favor of some more realistic multispectral pigment mixing.
...So Painter, if you are listening -- it's time.
By coincidence, I even came across some researchers today who were doing it back then. Interesting stuff.

Often departments don't talk well, and as a result information can be prematurely released. I wouldn't be surprised if someone posted the information because they knew that was the venue and then was told to take it down to maintain the excitement of a surprise announcement.
Or at Corel the buzz is all about Painter XI right now and it was typo of the freudian kind. Regardless. This is still good news for those of us hoping for new version. It mean that XI is coming most likely sooner rather than later.

ANY news about the new features ? from the link in the previous post it seems they have allowed us to expand the mixer pad. That is cool.

I guess my timing for asking was pretty good. :thumbsup:
Reading over the features, "tighter" color flow w/ Photoshop is most, most welcome (I use several semi-workarounds)... and a quiet prayer in that this version can handle the memory many of us stock our Mac Pro's w/. Painter X is "crippled" in this regard, and sadly very frustrating for a "professional" program, used by professionals (after all, I'm not turning family photos into "paintings", during 15 hour days). I'm a huge Painter fan, but c'mon... this should not be just coming (if indeed it is?), but I'll will take it now, please... however, the language of the new features, is not specific in this regard.
My two top wants are better color management, and "power user speed"... anything else is gravy.

the feature list seems is a little disappointing but as mentioned in the previous post...power use should be good if it is addressed..

Exactly my feeling too. Being able to see transforming is good and if the overall stability and strength has truly been enhanced then it might be enough to sell it. Can anyone see if the Control Windows/color adjustments have been enlarged?
Arjo
02-24-2009, 01:50 PM
To me stability would be reason enough to upgrade. I lost so much work because of not saving often enough! So I really hope this version won't crash anymore.
Better color management seems nice too.

User iterative save... then make backups ;)
Iterative save is already there since at least Painter IX.5
I actually have it as a button on my Intuos 3 ^^
the feature list seems is a little disappointing but as mentioned in the previous post...power use should be good if it is addressed..
More speed (up to 30% is what I read), better color management, better transformation tool, scalable color palette... imho Corel devteam has been reading the critique very well and it looks quite promising!
I'm very curious about hardware issues myself.
Planning to buy a new pc soon and the main tool used on it should be Painter 11

For me all the enhancements sound very good.
- Selection tools are getting better. Good!
- Everything making transformations easier is great, especially when I'm sketching an illustration (in Painter X there even was a bug that made it impossible to use distortion etc. in mac os 10.5).
- To be able to make color palette and mixer larger is also veeery good, making me sooner than later change my 22"-screen to a 30". I think I begin to use more mixer after this.
- If brushes perform really up to 30% faster, that's really fine!
- And if color management is better and more in harmony with photoshop, that sounds very good too.

Is the transform tool live, you see the transformation before accepting it. This isn't clear on the features page.

Thanks, that was helpful. Hmmm, not sure I'm thrilled about multi core listed only as "during transformations"... double "hmmmmm....."
...Ever tried to paint w/ good size brushes on poster size document w/ 4 or 5 layers in Painter X. Here I am w/ 10 GB or RAM, and in those instances I might as well be on an older iMac? I do many of my transformations in Photoshop anyway! -- who wouldn't, if you have PS?
Am I being an alarmist (probably not - but I'll be glad to be wrong) by thinking if brush engine, and etc., were multi core supported, then it would just have an "X" under multi core and not a specific item in the PDF?

painter 11 seems on the surface to be more of a bug fix and update for o/s there's not many new features like symetry, rulers etc that sketchbook pro has rolled out...more like png's now import and the color wheel is resizable...err wow!
still until we have a demo for download it may just be a poor 'list' but a great upgrade when you actually 'use it'

Yes Painter 11 appears to be more like Painter X.5 than a full version but Corel's been doing this since Painter 8.

Hi folks,
With Corel Painter 11 here, Steve Szoczei at Corel has just set up a new forum at The PainterFactory (http://painterfactory.com) for Painter 11, named Corel Painter 11 - New Version!
The Corel Painter X - Current Version forum has been renamed Corel Painter X - Last Version.
You'll find the new Painter 11 forum at the bottom of the Corel Painter Product Discussion category. I've asked Steve if it can be moved to the top of that category and he's working on it so, for now, there it is, all ready for us to use.
Cheers!
Jinny
