 Super Book! August 14, 2004

This is just simply a terrific book! Finally an author who doesn't assume the reader is familiar with the program and all he has to do is show some snazzy pictures and will gain a five star rating. He actually shows you in clear steps and pictures how to use the program. What a radical new idea! I am familar with Adobe products, and still appreciated being shown how they were adapted to this newest version of Painter. I only wish Eric Grebler would write books for all the other programs out there, it would make learning them much easier.

I recieved Corel Painter with my Wacom tablet and have had little experience with it. The book was of great use to me. The step by step instructions were easy to follow and the author presented the material in a fun, lighhearted manner which made it fun to read. This book provided me with a lot of tips and tricks that I would never otherwise know.
 For Graphics Beginners Only November 17, 2003

This book is apparently written for people that have no previous experience with Graphics aps. I'm assuming that anyone with Painter installed has at least a rudimentary familiarity with Photoshop. If that's the case, and you are looking to enhance your work with a more specialized ap this book is a waste of time. For instance, each and every "how to" instruction starts off with a square one approach by telling the reader to open the respective palette from the appropriate pulldown menu. It's mind numbingly tedious. I'm a big fan of Peachpit's Quickstart Visual Guides, and this book doesn't approach the quality of that series.For graphics pros this book seems to neglect important considerations such as how to navigate Painter's weird (or at least different) color space management. I think more could be gleaned by just spending a couple of hours playing around in the ap or downloading an instructional PDF then working your way through this book. However, if you happen to be new to the world of computer graphics and don't consider yourself computer savvy, this book might be to your advantage.
