These and many more are problems that have plagued Painter since I first started using it in the 90's so it's pretty clear they don't know how to fix it. I have had the lasso tool stop working until you restart the program. It also crashes or freezes more often than other programs. Sometimes palettes will be off screen which is a pain. It also very buggy, for example right now I can not cut/copy or paste. However, Painter is also one of the most unstable art programs that I have ever used( tried most of the ones available). It has some really interesting brushes called particle brushes which make every stroke unique.

It also has all of the tools I use in one package so I don't have to switch between programs. I have also tried almost all of the painting software out there at one point or another.Ĭorel painter has one of the best brush engines around(only 2nd to Rebelle). I have a more painterly style, just for reference. I switch to Photoshop for about 5 years then switched back to Painter and now Clip Studio.
