I found the Help very good although I would have liked to be able to search it rather than just be able to look at topics. I, personally, do not like a Welcome screen appearing regularly so I clicked on the box to eliminate it in the Preference menu. The Preferences give choices as to General and Image. However working with vectors from another program is not, in my opinion, an important part of an image editing program. However, when I copied and pasted it into PaintSupreme, it became a rasterized image. I took an ai file and opened it in Adobe Illustrator CS5. The only file that opened was the wmf file. I tried to open as well as import into a document three types of files, eps, ai and wmf of clipart I found on the web. I could not open any vector files and keep them as vectors. I found that to utilize the vector properties, I had to create them in PaintSupreme. Again, I suggest using the information in the Help menu to see how creating vectors and applying rasterizing properties such as the Paint Bucket work. Working with vectors and adding rasterizing properties is another unique addition to this program which expands its scope. I have written a tutorial on working with layers. This was not a problem at all once I understood it. When you pasted into it, a new (blank) layer was created above it. Here I discovered that when you wanted to paste into a new layer, you had to add a new layer and highlight it. I was used to cutting or copying and automatically pasting into a new layer. (See Tool Bar Settings in the image below.)Īs I tested a number of the options, I did run into one that was a little confusing. There are also settings directly under the main menu for many of the tools. I will highlight a few tools and their settings so you can see the large number of choices available. This icon is probably the most powerful of all because it shows all the tools' settings that can be used. menus or through short cuts such as Transform, Color Balance, etc. You can access them from the top of the toolbar either through the File, Edit, etc. The number of manipulation choices is excellent. I don't actually know how many steps you can have in the History, but I had over 10 at one point. Layers, for me, is a very important aspect of any image editing program.
(I do not plan on comparing it to Photoshop, but I like to see what type of files I can open and how they will appear). The first item I noticed on the interface is that it will not only accept layered PSD files, but will show the layers so that you can work on them.
It includes many of the important tools found in expensive programs as well as including the capability to create and work with vectors.
#PAINTSUPREME LINUX MAC OS#
It costs only $19.99 and is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It allows the user to manipulate the controls as well as use some automatic ones. PaintSupreme from BrainDistrict is an excellent buy for those who want to use an easy, intuitive image editing program which is also powerful. In my reviews, I often, also, write small how-tos. With that in mind, one has to look at other points of interest such as program cost and ease of use as well as learning curve. I have been using Adobe Photoshop for those 20 + years so I naturally come from that perspective. I have reviewed many image editing packages in the 20 + years I have been reviewing. I usually like readers to know my perspective or "where I come from" in terms of reviewing.
