what do you mean by “angle shader brush”?

you can load multiple colours with painter since ver. IX was released, it’s the second eye-dropper icon in color mixer pallete (cmd+2/ctrl+2)
artists oils and realbristle brushes are showing the most pronounced colour mixing effect afaik.

you can use glow brush in FX category as photoshop’s color dodge replacement, works fine.
I’m not sure about color burn in painter though.

you can also resize the layers palette -

  • Brush blending modes (normal,darken,multiply,color,color dodge etc).
    Something like shift+r.click in Photoshop.
    These speed things up,although I don’t know how this would fit with Painter’s engine.
  • Unlock-able canvas (base layer)
  • Cleaner and smarter UI
  • Better performance

My Corel Painter 12 Wish List.

I would like to see an ELLIPSE and RULER tool ( like Sketchbook Pro 2010 has ). The symmetry tools in Sketchbook Pro 2010 is also very useful. With the ELLIPSE and RULER tool you simply position the ruler or ellipse anywhere on the screen and then proceed to draw following the contour of the ruler or ellipse. This gives us nice straight and curved lines.

ArtRage Studio Pro does this even better with “Stencils” of a ruler, a french curve, a square, a rounded square, etc. You use them the same way you would on a drawing table.

if you’re familiar with creating vector shapes, you can make your own curves and align your brush movement to them.

#286

It’s not ergonomic.
Ease of use and functionality should be top priority when designing the product.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I know that we can use vector shapes and even the “Align to path” feature, but you have to create the path shape or vector shape first. The way ArtRage Studio Pro and Sketchbook Pro 2010 do it is MORE NATURAL. Just like we would do it at the drawing table.

The way Painter does it now is for us “having to create a french curve or a ruler first” in order to be able to use it. Why not have the french curve and ruler there ready for us to use at any time?

Cheers
