I have a preference for Corel Painter, working with an intuos 4. I may post something in here eventually.

I've been using Photoshop for over a decade, but I've been looking for something that would give me more traditional painting tools. Does Corel Painter let you mix paints and use techiques like dry brush and wet brush?

If you're using the full version of PS (not Elements), you can find a ton of brushes that work very very similar or you can make them yourselves. It has a massive brush engine and they've included bristles in the latest version. Painter comes with all sorts of traditional tools preloaded though. You'd have to check, but usually Wacom came with an light version of Corel Painter and Photoshop (or either). You can try it out and see maybe if you want the full... it's a cool program, but I prefer Photoshop, it just seems to go better with my workflow.

Yeah I'm very familiar with Photoshop's brush tools and I have a bunch of brushes that I've made my self. I'm just interested in Corel Painter if it simulates painting in a more natural way, if you know what I mean. If it has a demo I'll check it out. But yeah, I love Photoshop too.
