For the Artisit in your Family (GiveAway)
November 2nd, 2009THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED!!!

This edition of my Holiday Gift Guide focuses on the artist or craftperson in you or your family.. .Meet Corel Painter Essentials 4

Corel® PainterTM Essentials 4 is the ideal way to get started with digital art. This
simple-to-use home art studio is based on the world’s most powerful painting
and illustration software - Corel® PainterTM X.
With its streamlined user interface, easier workflow, and increased creative
options, Corel Painter Essentials 4 lets home users create beautiful, handmade
digital-art keepsakes that are perfect for framing, using in crafts projects, and
sharing as special gifts to friends and family.

This is one that I did. It is of our new puppy and her brother and sister. Corel Painter Essentials 4 is so easy to use and fun. I stayed up all night playing with all of the different features one night. You can do virtually anything with this program. From beautiful and serious to fun and funky. You will love playing with all of the features that it provides.
Digital Camera Users and Photography Hobbyists
Digital camera users and photography hobbyists use their cameras to capture special moments and to express themselves creatively. They are always looking
for new ways to add unique touches to their photos, and Corel Painter Essentials 4 gives them the ideal solution. The completely redesigned user
interface and the simplified Photo Painting System make it easy to add artistic flair to any project. With the new Smart StrokeTM technology, it’s now even
easier to turn a photo into a natural and expressive hand-painted work of art.
Scrapbookers and Arts & Crafts Enthusiasts
Working with photos, sketching, and painting are some of the hands-on projects enjoyed by scrapbookers and arts & crafts enthusiasts. Whether they want to
transform a photo into a painting, sketch or paint an original image, or add creative elements to any project, Corel Painter Essentials 4 makes it simple. Users
can create stunning images that are perfect for hanging on the wall or for adding an extra personal touch to scrapbooks or other creative projects.
Art Students and Teachers
Ideal for both at home and in school, art students and teachers have a way to explore the visual arts without the costs and mess associated with traditional art
supplies. Corel Painter Essentials 4 provides students with an ideal learning environment in which the techniques of classical art training are combined with
all the benefits offered by computers. Students can explore their creativity with digital media in ways that are just not possible with conventional art supplies or
photo-editing software.
There is no way I could tell you all of the options and features of Corel Painter Essentials 4. I can tell you that you that you will love it. It will make the perfect gift for the artist or crapft person in your life. I had a friend over and we had more fun playing with Corel Painter Essentials 4. We made our photos to look so many different ways and the drawing section provided hours of entertainment. It provides so many different features that I haven’t found in any other software. Beware, it is fabulous and addictive. You won’t be able to put it away. You will constantly be saying “ohhh, just one more picture”. And Corel is offering you the chance to win it for yourself.

I think the Corel Digital Studio 2010 sounds great, too, because it seems to have everything! It “brings photo editing, movie making, DVD/AVCHD™ burning, creative projects and easy sharing software together” - my husband likes to make video montages of my daughter - I think this would make it much easier, thanks!
