I was watching a friend demo Corel Painter the other night and was wondering are Adobe Illustrator and Corel Painter designed to do the same type of work or are there major differnces in function between the two? Comments.

J,
I've seen painter in action and of course I have the poverty version that came with the tablet. I have an old copy of Illustrator but have never gone into it in depth.

Has anyone seen older copies of Painter for sale? I was thinking about Painter X or IX, for example, as a way to inexpensively acquire Painter. Corel offers a trial of Painter XI and I have PE4 but wondered if anyone has seen or knows of someone who wants to sell an older version of Painter. Thank ...09-02-2010, 09:06 AM
