Problem with Painter 11 stokes...

#1

Hi,
I have been trying out Painter 11 using my Wacom Intuos 3 (A4), and have found that it doesn’t seem to produce smooth strokes when compared to Painter X. Selecting just the Scratchboard tool, if I try large sweeping strokes they seem to be staggered straight lines rather than one smooth line. Things can be improved by turning up the number of interpolations setting for the stroke, but having to turn all brushes interpolation up to 5 doesn’t seem correct.

It doesn’t seem to make any difference if Brush Ghosting is on or not. Another thing I don’t like about the new brush ghosting is when a brush with Rake selected the ghosting turns into an elongated bursh shape with straight edges and semi-circular end caps, which spins round according to the brush orientation. With this setting it is extremely difficult to judge where the actual stroke will start. It was much better with Painter X’s circular brush ghosting as the centre of the circle can naturally be judged, and thus the start of the stroke.

I am also getting problems with the tail end of strokes shooting off to the left once again. I have seen this before on earlier painter versions, but a quick brush stroke recalibration used to sort that out. It doesn’t seem to solve it completely with Painter 11.

I hope problems such as these, and other that people have brought up, get sorted out quickly.

Regards,

Phd.

i also have experienced the brush stroke taking of at 90 deg. to the stroke path … very annoying …

as well as having the brush stroke finish short of were the brush cursor stops … and then jumping to the cursor position after a delay or when the brush is lifted of the page … also very annoying …

definitely an update not an upgrade …

i also fear that with CS4 being no slouch as a painting platform … not to mention Twisted Brush is also very good in may regards … it is inexpensive and updated 6 or more times a year … Corel is running out of time to remain viable … which would be a shame as it does have some unique and useful features …

Is it called the stroke jumping? 'cause it is VERY annoying…

When I use short brush strokes, sometimes it randomly makes a dot somewhere on the canvas. I’m wondering if it’s my pen, or a glitch, or something that I can fix. It doesn’t do it every stroke I make, but enough that I have to constantly go back or blend it/erase it. :banghead:

This is something that many Painter 11 users are experiencing, including me. We are all hoping that Corel do something about it. Check out this thread: http://painterfactory.com/forums/t/1216.aspx and many others across the community.
