    Great choices, easy to use, and versatile. I only wish I could afford it.

    Painter was "aquired" by Corel, not created by Corel. Corel bought quite a few apps and tech from others.

    Beware, If you are a Mac user steer far away from this product! Painter and painter essentials 5.x never worked. If you were to try the 30 day trial version of the software you would find that instead of fixing the software Corel would simply try up-sale you one of their more expensive programs. They don't even try to get the program working at all. I even own the program and have never gotten it to run successfully. I consider this company an perfect example of a shady dealer of vaporware that use bait and switch practices. At one time Corel use to be a leading alternative to mid-tier graphic suite but today I would stay as far away as possible from any Corel product.

    Well it's not Corel. It's Apple fault, they always update their latest OS library requirements to be incompatible with the previous programs.
    FYI, next time buy Windows machine. Windows 10 32-bit still can run 16-bit DOS programs.

    Sorry to say but I bought Corel well over 7 years ago when Apple was still supporting 32-bit applications. BTW: I is time for 32-bit to go for Linux, Mac and Windows. The only real reason to keep anything lower would be embedded or actual assembly
