Painter 8 fans, take note: Looks like IX is pretty close to becoming available.

http://www.corel.com/painterix/comingsoon/index.html

Trial download available.

Just downloaded the trial 105Mb. Purchase page says shipping starts 20th October (at least in the US and Canada). Here in the UK I expect we'll have to wait the usual 3 months later....

Price is $429 full version and $229 for upgrade.
