As its name implies, Corel Painter 2022 is especially good software for digital painting. Our testing found that the latest update adds a new stamp-type brush customisation, and we love the fine control you now have over the dab effects of your favourite brushes. Like many digital painting effects, the purpose is to make your work look as"real" and un-digital as possible, and it does that very effectively.
Elsewhere, the latest update to Corel Painter has completely reorganised the brush library, which may be unwelcome news for anyone who's used to the old system, but we found actually provides a lot of useful functionality. We liked that brushes are alphabetised in categories that are easy to remember, and there's a filter search system that makes finding the type of brush you need much quicker and easier.
Previous versions of Corel had a reputation for taxing computer hardware to an extent, but GPU acceleration has been tweaked in the latest edition, and while we found it hardware hungry, there was a definite improvement. The program will also examine your system on startup, and recommend optimisations to make itself run as smoothly as possible on your system.
Corel Painter 2022 is available for an up-front cost, though a considerably steeper one than Affinity Photo. It costs $429/£359.99 new, or $229/£180 if you're upgrading from a previous version. That's quite a lot of money but there are no ongoing subscription fees and Corel does occasionally offer discounts. See more in our
