Review
Praise for previous editions: "This book is a wealth of ideas, information and inspiration."--Jim Zuckerman, world-renowned photographer and instructor of Making Masterpieces with Corel Painter at BetterPhoto.com "It's rare that a computer book can hold your attention...He makes techniques easy to replicate and invites readers to a whole new world of imaginatve style." -- Helen Yancy, photographer and artist, past Professional Photographers of America (PPA) president "An easy read with lots of imagery and explanation. A great addition to those who are new to Painter IX, or those who just wish to brush up on their digital painting skills." -- John Virata, DigitalProducer.com "The clear structure and concise writing style takes the reader through brushes, papers and textures. Combined with an intelligent layout and a Windows/Mac compatible CD, Painter IX for Photographers is exemplary for its clarity and structure." -- British Journal of Photography "Addison then is the most obvious starting point for a photographer wishing to get started with Painter. The book begins with cloning before moving to brushes and brush creation. This dispatches the first 166 pages and so is very comprehensive. After a couple of chapters on montaging and the use of colour there are a number of worked examples for landscape, children and portraits, including seven pages on using Painter for wedding images - all good moneymaking advice!"-- Professional Imagemaker Magazine

Honestly, I couldn't believe it - I absolutely loved the previous version, Painter X for Photographers , and recommended it all over the place but this is even better! Anyone who is is keen on photography and would like to get creative and make photo in to artwork - -portraits in pastel, landscapes in oils, in fact any art material you could think about - Its all there! It's the kind of book you can just go to any chapter you fancy and learn a mine of information through text and illustration. The pictures are larger in the this latest book and you can immediately see what each brush effect would be before you commit to using it. The new brushes in Painter 11 sound fabulous and would make any photo in to a work of art. Chapter 1 shows how to get started and makes easy reading for the beginner - the basic techniques and tools before you go on to the creative bit - illustrated projects that explore different art media. The addition in this book of making a montage/poster/ using layers, is very useful and will appeal to a lot of photographers. I belong to a photo club and I know many of the members will jump at this book - many who will be also interested in the chapter on the more technical aspects of ColourManagement. What's really grabbing me is the included DVD which has videos of some of the projects showing realtime "how to do". (Love the Digital WaterColour Cloning of the Horse!) There are masses of Tutorials and other folders as well to look at. For PC and Mac users. I use a Mac and there was even an Alias to click on for OSX users so that was good.
The foreword is written by a fabulous Photo Artist called Marilyn Sholin - look her up - if SHE recommends - well grab it!

Having long considered buying a dedicated painter programme for digital processing, I bought this well-recommended book to explore the software's potential for me. I also attended a brief demonstration at Focus on Imaging 2011. The jury is still out on whether I invest time and funds making the most of a comprehensive piece of software. If not, I shall have saved myself time and money. If I do decide to buy the software I shall be better informed and have a good reference book to help me progress up the learning curve.
