Painter 7 to IX Conversion

Jeremy Sutton

My earlier DVD tutorial, Painter Creativity for Wedding and Portrait Photographers, was created using Painter 7. Since that time Painter has been revised and the latest version is Corel Painter IX. All the techniques taught on my DVDs are applicable in Painter IX, just as in Painter 7. Having said that I do recommend you get my newest DVD set Painter IX Simplified for Photographers, which has all new artwork and some fresh techniques too.

I’ve summarized below the main changes that will help you translate my DVD instructions for Painter IX.

The interface has not changed significantly between Painter X and Painter 11 so you can easily apply the lessons from all my earlier materials when using Corel Painter 11. Likewise my PaintboxJ Painter 11 tutorials can all be easily applied in earlier versions of Painter. I do strongly recommend upgrading to Painter 11 if you currently have an earlier version. The newest Painter is the best yet. It is significantly faster than earlier versions and includes a whole new class of wonderful brushes (the Hard Media brushes).
