Corel presents the localized edition of its powerful software for hobby artists: Corel Painter Essentials 4 is now available in German. The program is based on the Corel Painter painting and illustration application and offers all the tools users need to draw and paint on screen. With a wide selection of brushes, pens, paper textures, and tutorials, users can quickly become familiar with digital art and transform photos into impressive paintings. The full version was available immediately for €49, with the upgrade offered for €39. All prices include VAT. A free trial version and further information were available at http://www.corel.de/painteressentials.
Working closely with customers, Corel completely revised the user interface for the new version to make finding the required tools even easier. Corel Painter Essentials 4 is available for both Windows and Mac. With this powerful program, Corel particularly aims to provide a useful tool for digital-camera users, scrapbook enthusiasts, painting and drawing enthusiasts, teachers and professors teaching art, and their pupils and students. The digital painting tools in Corel Painter Essentials 4 realistically emulate their traditional counterparts, enabling expressive hand-painted artwork to be created on screen.
