Ultimate Paint

Ultimate Paint is a painting program with a wide-range of image processing functions. It is also one of the fastest and most compact programs of its category. We've done everything to keep the code size at a reasonable level. Only fully optimized code is added to the program to ensure that you get the leanest and fastest image editing tools available.

The dialogs and controls are arranged so that everything is at your fingertips. For new users Ultimate Paint has a fast and easy learning period.

The icons of drawing functions and the color selector can be found left to the main window. To the right there's a fast palette for quick color storing and retrieval.

One of the unique features is that you can apply different skins to the program, even easily design your own. 

There are several special tools that can only be found in high priced packages. One of them is an image optimizer. It helps you to find the best image settings for saving a particular image with the smallest possible size retaining best quality. You can compare results on-the-fly, zoom in/out particular areas to see the difference. 

The navigation panel shows the image around the cursor at 100% magnification ratio which is handy if you're working in a higher zoom and would still like to see the modifications at the original zoom factor. It also displays the entire image and the color parameters of the pixel currently under the cursor. 

The Color Selection dialog is easy to use, allows both fast, intuitive and precise setting of a color. A color can be chosen by setting its RGB components (sliders) or by setting its Hue (color circle) and pointing on a color in the Saturation-Value space (color field). For HTML design the color is also represented in hexadecimal format. 

The Image Browser dialog allows you to browse through the images on your hard disk. One of the unique features of Ultimate Paint is the ability to browse effects, too: you can see the thumbnails of the different filters and select the desired one.

Ultimate Paint has more than a hundred professional quality effects which is outstanding among image processing programs. Most of these plug-in effects have several adjustable parameters which gives lots of freedom to get exactly what you desire. See the preview of available effects. Most effects have instant preview (small window), and you can also preview the effect on the whole image. Each effect has a detailed help which describes its usage in detail. 

Align and resize your images interactively with one movement of the mouse or more accurately using numeric values. Add an optional title text or border around your image, and print the final design - all with the advanced print dialog of UP.

Make on-the-fly changes to brush settings and variables 
Control the texture of your canvas to achieve realistic results

Features:

Corel Painter X offers a broad range of digital painting, sketching and illustration tools that inspire creativity, increase performance, and further extend file compatibility with other industry-standard tools and applications, such as Adobe® Photoshop®.

Increased Performance
Painter X is optimized to provide artists with the fastest version of Painter ever. Depending on system hardware, brushes perform up to 35% faster, while opening and saving files is up to 200% faster!

New! RealBristle™ Painting System
This new painting system heightens the responsiveness of the brushes and represents a major milestone for digital painting. You can now faithfully replicate the sensation and interaction between the paint, canvas and brush.
See it in action.


New! Composition Tools
Divine Proportion and the Rule of Thirds help you visually arrange a blank canvas prior to sketching or painting. This is ideal for helping you create stunning compositions, whether you're painting from a blank canvas or cropping a photograph before transforming it into a painting.

Widely used throughout history by artists, designers and architects, divine proportion is a ratio of approximately 3 to 5, which is generally recognized as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Corel Painter X provides palette controls for the Divine Proportion composition tool, which let you adjust the orientation, size, angle of rotation, display colors, opacity and grid levels.

New! Workspace Manager
Easily customize and back up your workspaces, as well as export and share them with friends and colleagues.
See it in action.
Enhanced! Photo-Painting System
It's now easier than ever to create stunning paintings from photographs. Major improvements offer greater control when underpainting, and new SmartStroke™ technology uses brush strokes that dynamically adhere to the lines and contours in the original painting.

Enhanced! Underpainting
This palette includes color schemes based on various artistic styles, such as Impressionist, Classical, Modern, Watercolor, Sketchbook and Chalk Drawing. You can also match your Underpainting palette to that of any open image.

Enhanced! Auto-Painting Palette
Automatically apply random paint strokes that vary in stroke type, direction and pressure. Choose the type of brush stroke and adjust the preset options to determine how the brush interacts with the canvas.
New! SmartStroke™ Painting
Create brush strokes that follow the lines and contours in your original photo. By enabling Smart Strokes, you can dynamically change brush size, stroke length and pressure, based on the detail and focal areas of your original photo.

New! Universal Mixer Palette
For multicolor selection, this palette gives you better control over color blending between the Mixer palette and the canvas.
See it in action.
Enhanced! Dodge and Burn Tools
These new image enhancement tools make it easier than ever to prepare your photos for paintings. The Dodge tool lets you lighten, or overexpose, specific areas of an image. Conversely, the Burn tool lets you darken, or underexpose, specific areas of an image.
Enhanced! Adobe® Photoshop® Support
Maintain layers when transferring files between Corel Painter X and Adobe Photoshop. Improved layer grouping and combining, and enhanced support for layer merge modes, help you work more efficiently.

Enhanced! Wacom® Support
Use the entire Wacom product line with Corel Painter X, including the Cintiq® 21 UX interactive pen display, the Intuos®3 pen tablet and the Wacom® 6D Art Pen.

PhotoPlus 6.03

Publisher's description of PhotoPlus
PhotoPlus has the features you'll need for importing or creating pictures and animations as well as for manipulating colors and effects and final exporting. Built-in support for TWAIN scanners and cameras makes it easy to bring in your own photos, while comprehensive import filters let you open just about any standard bitmap image. Once you have your image in PhotoPlus, you can enhance and alter its onscreen appearance with a diverse toolkit of functions and effects. A full range of export options (with special attention to Web graphics), plus powerful optimization capabilities, round out this high-performing package.

Editor's review of PhotoPlus

At its essence, PhotoPlus is a Photoshop clone without the most advanced features, for a fraction of the price. The interface is almost identical, from the tool icons to the layers pane. PhotoPlus allows working with several layers and supports masks, but you can't add new toolbars. Using layers, you can create and edit animations for the Web, and a number of filters are here. The set of tools is not as large as Photoshop's, but it's enough for retouching photos. Web designers will appreciate the tool that allows you to immediately view how JPEG compression will impact image quality. The trial version disables some of the tools and filters. In our opinion, PhotoPlus will be more than enough for home users and intermediate Web designers.
