Like previous versions of Painter, the software ships replete with resources, including libraries of nozzles, brushes, paper textures, stock photos, patterns, and gradients. Painter IX greets the user with a new, clean, and organized welcome screen on start-up that provides quick access to saved files, brush and color-management settings, and tutorials. We also set up a Wacom Intuos3 pen tablet and 6D Art Pen, as well as Corel’s Art Pen Brush Pack, a collection of six brushes designed to take advantage of Wacom’s six-dimensional pen stylus.

We installed Painter IX on an Apple Power Mac G5 equipped with dual PowerPC G5 processors, Mac OS X, and a Studio display. Corel refers to these digital tools of the trade as “Natural Media.” Like no other program we’ve used, it provides us with digital materials-paints, brushes, inks, pencils, papers, and more-that closely mimic those used in the traditional creative process. I'll come back and post a reply, once I can confirm version PSP X will also work with Windows 10.As digital artists and content creators, we’re longtime users of Painter, Corel’s painting and illustration software solution.

I am so happy to know I might be able to install and use PSP X.

One of the main reasons I've held off moving to windows 10 is because I've feared losing the use of favorite software. HTHBree, 'thank you so very much' for this additional information and for taking the time to test the installation. Uninstalling PSP, then trying again by running Setup in compatibility mode installed without any of the earlier warnings. It seems to have applied 'Windows XP (Service Pack 2)' which is the same as the compatibility mode for PSP7 on my main machine. After the first run Windows 10's Compatibility Assistant popped up to say it had applied compatibility settings. PSP7 is fully installed and runs (apparently) without issue. The InstallShield threw up a couple of 'unknown source '.' warnings, but clicking on OK let it continue to completion. It was already installed under Windows 7 before I upgraded that to Windows 10.Īs a test, I have just installed it on my test machine (System Two in my specs below).
