Wacom(R) Pen Input Enriches Corel(R) Painter(TM) 11 Experience
support for Corel Painter 11, officially launched this last Tueday, providing
significant workflow advantages and numerous ways for users working with a
Wacom pen tablet or interactive pen display to naturally explore and express
their creative ideas as well as enhance productivity. Wacom’s natural,
pressure-sensitive pen input solutions are ideally suited for the Painter 11
user. Whether creating a new painting on a digital canvas with some of
Painter’s unique new aritistic media or highlighting a digital photo with
inventive pen-supported tools, a Wacom pen input device offers the control and
interactivity that Painter 11 users seek.
“For years, Corel and Wacom have worked closely together to provide
artists, photographers and other creatives with a worflow that faithfully
responds to the artistic impulses and gestures that make every creation
unique,” said
users will continue to enjoy the benefits of our partnership as they combine
the powerful capabilities of Wacom’s pen input devices with the world’s most
advanced natural media painting and illustration software.”
In addition to its artistic prowess, the Wacom pen offers ergonomic and
control benefits to the Corel Painter 11 user. Since the pen is positioned in
the hand in a natural manner and provides exceptional freedom of movement,
those working with Painter and other creative applications find it offers
superior responsiveness and physical comfort compared to alternative input
devices. For example, when combined with a Wacom pen tablet, Painter 11′s new
RealBristle(TM) painting system has the uncanny ability to replicate the
sensation and interaction between traditional paint and canvas.
“The RealBristle media set within Painter 11 represents a major
breakthrough in pen tablet and creative software communication,” said
Varga
“By incorporating tilt and pressure sensitivity into such media as chalk,
markers, pens and pencils, users can now reproduce the look and feel of their
real-life counterparts.”
Two Hands are Better than One
Wacom’s Intuos(R) pen tablets and Cintiq(R) interactive pen displays
feature customizable ExpressKeys(TM) and Touch Strips for quick access to
keyboard shortcuts and modifiers. These non-dominant hand features greatly
enhance productivity by fully utilizing the users hand that is not controlling
the pen. Since the customized settings can be application specific, Corel
Painter 11 users can create and save unique personalized settings for each
individual application. For example, the undo command, resizing a brush or
zooming in and out of a piece of art can easily be attributed to an ExpressKey
or Touch Strip, allowing Painter users to break away from keyboard dependency
and seriously focus on the work at hand.
The English version of Corel Painter 11 is available today as an
electronic download at the http://www.corel.com Web address.
