Edit 2024: I have since written about how I overcame my frustrations with Corel Painter because out of all this software it is the one I love the most deep down despite wishing it would improve a few things still.

Perhaps it is nostalgia. The Humble Bundle offers made it more affordable for me to upgrade as well, although I don’t really approve of such marketing by companies because it punishes those who buy it full price and who don’t know about Humble Bundle. At least they still offer perceptual versions as well as subscription though. I got the 2023 version of Painter for around £20 on Humble Bundle and it is very good for that price.
