Book Reviews of Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artists Handbook

Book Review: I really enjoyed this book
Summary: 5 Stars

Jeremy, it is nice to be the first to step up and say you did a wonderful job on your new "Painter Creativity." I would heartily recommend it to anyone picking up their first couple of top-drawer books on how it's done. As a professional who works in photo and paint applications, I sometimes find myself getting too comfortable in my own methodology. It's great fun to see how you approach Painter, filling in blanks I'd never thought much about. And I've always thought the way you write inspires others to stretch themselves and let go. (I always tell people that no one dies from artistic attempts, therefore there's really nothing to fear.)

I particularly liked how you included the photograph of you painting Sigifredo freehand. And the very cool visual glossary is something I'd like to have in poster form on my wall... heck, I think I'll make one and do just that.

This book is a very useful book for those picking up Painter for the first time, as well as those who are old hands. For novice and professional users there is quite a lot of useful information that will allow many users to express themselves in ways they'd never thought possible.

P.S. The brushes on my CD worked fine, no workarounds whatsoever. I'm on a macintosh, pulled and dragged them over to the brushes folder and started the application. No problems, no workarounds. The other review is really quite harsh, focusing on a CD and not saying a word about the real content, which is found between the front and back covers and before the CD... most unfortunate.

Summary of Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artists Handbook

Painter IX Creativity is a comprehensive creative guide to Corel's Painter IX Software. It explains the basics of setting up, understanding, customizing, and applying Painter to create original works, paintings, generating painterly animations, manipulating and transforming photographic images, and constructing evocative photo-collage. The projects include advanced techniques and creative strategies.

The book gives visual artists-digital designers, multimedia artists, photographers, illustrators, animators, and graphic artists-the explanations they need in order to maximize the sophisticated, creative Painter tool. The book teaches the artist how to transfer traditional art skills and techniques to the computer. It teaches the animator how to add painterly effects to their work, whether for video, TV, or the web. IT explains how photographers can transform and collage their images with natural-media tools. For Adobe Photoshop users, this book explains the expanded creative potential Painter lends to their work.

The author takes a knowledgeable and straightforward approach to this step-by-step project-based book, explaining how each tool is used, every effect achieved, and every topic thoroughly described. The book allows readers to build upon their knowledge so that beginners have the chance to become advanced users, and advanced users have an opportunity to hone their skills and adopt new techniques.
