I cannot review it, as I had to return it. It had computer difficulties getting it loaded onto my computer. My computer problem.

I bought this software as a cheep software for creating computer paiting software. I like the software but it said it includes tutorials, be sure the software you get does. The software I got I got no tutorials with the software and says to go to a form and all I’m able to get is users thoughts and advance. This software will just set and collect dust at my house.

Maybe I expected too much for a software that is so inexpensive but the buildup that I had for this software was deflated after I installed it. It is very rudimentary in it’s applications and tools. Maybe I am just a novice at using it and will be more impressed as I use it more.

Great alternative to a much more expensive Corel Painter. Deluxe is great it feel like you really painting and drawing. I might upgrade for more features in the future. But for $20 you can’t go wrong. I you get good enough with it you can create anything that can be done in painter.

The program is excellent for art simulation.
Pros:
The program works and it works easily with my pen Hanvon Tablet. After watching the video demo, I am not kidding you can do exactly what they can do in that video in less than 10 minutes. Unlike other products you can’t figure out the controls and have to read books for simple things like drawing on a screen. I was like wow this acts like real paint and pencil too? I have all my best It was even annoyingly realistic to put it blunt. Yes, it even could tell how much pressure my pen Tablet was applying and made gaps in my pencil like a real pen would do. It was relatively inexpensive and was simulating real artist materials.
CONS: (DISLIKES)
They need a smugger or graphite smudge tool, they have a PAINTERS knife for smudging unfortunately it cuts doesn’t blend well.
The only export types. (JPEG)
Save for editing only in it’s format.
There is something I really would like is an easier way to keep a certain set of colors from the wheel on the right. I tend to start painting then switch a color then can’t get one of my old colors back. Why cause it’s mixed or not exactly the same. You can use their tool the color sampler? Which doesn’t look like a tool and that took me the longest to find.
Other programs to compare against: I might save you some money.
I tried Anime Studio 6 which they also make, What a waste of money. You can’t draw in it well enough to make a figure to use. Which would be such a big deal if it wasn’t a special picture format that no one uses far as I can tell accept them.
You have companies like Adobe taking away simple drawing abilities with their cheaper software like Adobe Elements. Don’t buy the only good thing about it is the auto clipping. This is not a joke. You can’t even do some basic drawing inside it anymore. Also it takes a step back making it like picture it from Microsoft where you go through wizards but worse in their design.
