Corel Painter 12 Notes

One significant difference between Painter 12 and Painter 11 is that Painter 12 rearranges the brushes. Mostly it's not a huge deal; for example, Colored Pencils & Pencils are now grouped together, Pastels & Oil Pastels are grouped together, Chalk & Crayon, Charcoal & Conte, etc.

Something that threw me off for a while, though, was the disappearance of the Artist's Oils category completely. In fact, only recently did I realize that the Artist's Oils brushes have been distributed among Acrylics, Oils, Impasto, and some in Blenders and Palette Knives.

Here's the weird thing, though. Now that everything's been reorganized, the Acrylics section is a bit confusing, because some of the brushes act more like Impasto, some act like Oils, and some act like Acrylics. I haven't even begun to sort through the Oils section.

*sigh* Looks like I'll have to manually rearrange my brushes...again.
