Corel Painter - Definition and Overview

Painter is the name of a software package used to create natural-looking artistic images using a computer. Originally available on the Macintosh, it is now also available for Windows. Using a graphics tablet, the user is able to create remarkably realistic images freehand, with the package simulating a wide range of classical effects such as watercolor and oil paints, as well as a wide range of unique effects and filters.

Painter is now owned and marketed by the Corel Corporation.
