Virtual Painter in PhotoShop? And Which Other Program is Excellent for Painting Effects?

2003-10-17 18:17:15

Can we use the Virtual Painter plugins/filters in Photoshop? If we can, how do we do it?
One more question. As far as painting effects are concerned, which program, other than Photoshop, do you think is excellent? Thank you!

Instead of Photoshop actually. There is no software that does it as well as Painter from Corel.

Hecate,

I am interesting in filters and textures. I don't see a good variety of them in Corel Painter. Am I wrong?
Thanks!

Yes and no. Painter is essentially creative software. Unlike Photoshop which is a mixture of creative and enhancement. In Painter it is expected that you create what you need. There are, however, lots of textures etc around for Painter. You can try the Painter site first where people upload stuff. And there are quite a few sites round the Net. Just Google for Painter and Textures or some such. But, essentially, what you get with Painter is a piece of software where you can make anything you want in terms of painting - oils, watercolours, pencil, whatever,. The only limit is your imagination.
