Full control of all brush options (Incredible possibilities for brush settings) - Bristle brushes of any form and kind - Stroke post correction (You can take an action on any option.

LongHairedArtist, The most customizable painting app, with power So Apple finally updated the Mac Mini.

This app is a very smart buy if you want to paint on a mac mini with your 4k tv. GPU is not required- Paintstorm runs very well on the CPU. I'll be testing this today with wacom Art Pen with rotation, and comparing to this same app running on ipad pro. I'm already aware of the full features available in Paintstorm- Corel Pianter comes closest but does not surpass brush options and modifications, plus ease of use.

Corel Painter can only surpass in certain brush engines. Photoshop can only surpass in photo editing functions- painting in photoshop is not great when using tilt for size/ pressure for opacity, because functions are not graphable like in Paintstorm. Ditto for Procreate- I've long complained on their forum that they lack support for airbrush style painting, requiring offset of brush away from pointer rather than underhand, plus tilt for size, pressure for opacity has very bad results. Only Paintstorm has the complete customizability to suit any artist style. Many artists are tempermental to their detriment, and do not undersatand that with unparalleled customizations available, one must thoroughly experiment and test to create tools that work for them. The first hurdle is understanding that the stabilizer on high setting gives the appearance of lag- just experiment and you can create extremely fast and powerful brushes without lag on this app.

BT00723456, Great App I never write reviews so this should hopefully help you. I have used Adobe, Corel, Autodesk, and many other programs for drawing, animation, etc. I was looking for something that would be an easy, yet powerful program to use on my Wacom tablet so i can make so really cool images for my lectures (medical).

This program was easy to use, has lots of options, is very reasonable priced, and was totally fun to use. I like how I could adjust almost everything on the fly to get the effect I wanted.

Congrats on a well thought out program. BT00723456, Great App I never write reviews so this should hopefully help you.
