Painter XI release?

#8

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.

Looks surprisingly similar to Painter X.

Painter™ 11 is coming soon!

Click the link in the blue text on the page it takes you to a pop up that gives the 24th as the date of release/announcement

#13

Ah, so it was a puzzle?

Thanks. (Corel, such teasers).

#14

Have you signed up for the Webinar they’re having on the 24th? I bet that will be allot of teases as they introduce the new features.

#15

Those webinars on the 24th are full now, they have two more on Wednesday the 25th.

#16

I can’t see any Webinar for Painter 11?! hurmph

#17

I received an email Invite from Corel. I didn’t see it publically listed on a website. I don’t know if there is a way to sign up for the Webinar without the Invite.

#18

Fes,

If you hurry, you might get into one of the webinars on Wednesday the 25th.

Go to the Corel page at Twitter to learn how to register.

Glad they dropped the roman numbers.

Cheers Jinny:)

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.

#23

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.

#24

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

#25

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?

#26

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.

#27

User iterative save… then make backups :wink:
Iterative save is already there since at least Painter IX.5
I actually have it as a button on my Intuos 3 ^^

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
