It was an interesting comparison for me, as I started using it back when it was still owned by Jasc Software (before Corel bought it).

This Corel Painter 2020 review was originally published in ImagineFX magazine. The options to collapse, lock, select and paste layers are all time-savers that will further streamline your creative process. Right-clicking or cmd-clicking a layer displays a pop-out contextual menu with a range of options, which is preferable to having to access them through the main Layers menu. Layers are a staple of digital art, and in Painter 2020 it’s a case of evolution rather than revolution. This feature will benefit both aspiring and pro artists in helping them to achieve the best colour choices in their artworks. The new Color Harmonies tool displays colours that are harmonious to your current choice, across six modes including analogous and complementary. The latest version of Painter adjusts the choice of harmonious colours as you paint You can also pick your colours using hue, saturation and value, choose to pin or unpin the wheel, and even set the wheel in left-handed mode. There’s now a preview feature, while the slider controls are coloured. The highly customisable Universal Color Wheel has a standard look across all tools. How you choose colour in the software has also been given an overhaul. Corel Painter 2020: Painting improvements As you become more used to the software we imagine you’d be able to pare back the interface significantly. The Brush Selector is highly configurable, enabling you to display more or less information in the software’s interface. Previously, you’d have to hover your cursor over a brush to display its Dab shape. Painter 2020’s slimmed-down Brush Selector displays sub-categories of brushes, where you can view Dab and Stroke previews at a glance. Clever grouping of settings within pop-out Consolidated Library panels, together with tool icons that change appearance depending on your setting choices, create the impression that Corel’s developers have acted on feedback from artists. Painter 2020 now only displays the configuration options that are relevant to your chosen tool, which results in a more streamlined interface. The previous version of Painter had a cluttered workspace that often interrupted your creative flow.
