Corel® Painter™ Essentials 4 is a perfect complement to image-editing applications, such as Adobe® Photoshop® Elements, Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, and Ulead PhotoImpact®. Users can optimize their photos with their favorite image editor and then create a personalized handmade painting, easily output their final painted images on canvas or use them for other creative projects, such as scrapbooks, apparel, and greeting cards. I will be definitely be using this software for our Christmas cards this year!

In the Photo Painting workspace, users can turn photos into paintings by choosing from a set of presets and customizations, clicking start, and sitting back to watch the show as the photo is converted to a painting. (Yes, it’s really that easy!)
