is a leading paint and drawing package with Natural-Media features that simulate the tools and textures of traditional artist's materials.
In depth
Produce imagery that goes beyond the bounds of traditional art. Cast synthetic light or create automatic drop shadows. Warp images, marbelize pictures or view them behind distorted glass. Sharpen, soften, and distort scanned photographs. Create and fill shapes with papers, patterns, gradiations, and weaves. And if you want to literally paint with pictures, use the amazing Image Hose.
With Shapes, Painter becomes an integrator of vector and raster (bitmap) art, allowing you to create, import and modify PostScript artwork, and combine it with Painter's floating selections. Import designs from Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, and CorelDRAW and give them transparency. Import layers from Photoshop and give them the Natural-Media touch.
Create graphics for the Internet with full support for JPEG, transparent and interlaced GIF files, automatic generation of Image Maps, and seamless background patterns.
Painter supports most pressure-sensitive tablets.
