Humble Bundle has painter 2019 again!

@jdubz Yup! I use corel painter I didn't switch from anything else. When I was getting into digital art it was before adobe had the monthly subscription, and painter was much MUCH cheaper. It works pretty well for me.

@jdubz When you start playing around with it feel free to shoot me a pm with questions or brush stuff There's nowhere near as many tutorials for painter as there are for photoshop.

@Braden-Hallett Yeah, I've been getting an alert that I can upgrade to 2020 for $99. Which isn't bad, $124 total for 2020 is a good price. I just don't feel the need to upgrade.

@CLCanadyArts me neither

I love painter for painting, or coloring in general. Their watercolor brush engine is pretty amazing. I use clipstudio paint or photoshop for inking typically.

Painter's blending is way better than Photoshop I just wish they would figure out how to preserve transparency while blending, rather than forcing to pick up the underlying color, or being stuck with white edges if you don't want to pick up the undercolor. Nevermind on the blending issue, see @Braden-Hallett's comment below!

@CLCanadyArts There's a toggle for most brushes called 'advanced layer blending'. Most brushes can use it and it preserves transparency

@Braden-Hallett Seriously?! I've been missing out. Time to experiment. Thank you for the tip!

braden H

@CLCanadyArts it's buried in the brush settings under 'blending' You're most welcome

@Braden-Hallett Great thanks! I will take you up on that!

I took the leap, Braden, and bought it. And then upgraded to 2020. Thanks for the connection--I simply couldn't afford it before but this deal made it doable. I really look forward to spending my winter break from school playing with it!! Thanks so much for sharing that bundle!
