Compare Corel Painter and Photoshop

Asked by vallis in Photos & Graphics Software, Adobe Photoshop, Illustration Software

I'm about to start learning digital painting.

I have Photoshop CS3 (and Illustrator as part of Adobe CS3 Web Premium) and I've dug Corel Painter 8 out of a dusty drawer.

Before I start the learning curve, my question is - in the Experts' opinions which application is best for digital painting? I had assumed that it was Painter, but a web search reveals a lot of support for Photoshop.

I'm prepared to upgrade to a later version of Painter if it's worthwhile. But I'll probably upgrade to the Adobe CS4 Web suite when it's released so I don't wish to waste money on upgrading Corel Painter X unless there's a significant benefit.

Thanks in advance.Start Free Trial
