It was fixed in the version after this but they released that as a paid version so I felt pretty resentful at the time.
I’ve used Corel Painter less and less in favour of Photoshop and other programs. There seems to be a paid update every year which is far too expensive for me to maintain and I don’t need more features than it already has. If anything I would like fewer features, more stability and no internal advert nags. Other than that it’s a great program and still has gorgeous and customisable brushes. I find the layer system very frustrating but it is fine if you generally paint on the canvas layer. The version I use is the 2016 release. Layers may have been improved in future editions. What I do to overcome the layer problem is paint in Corel Painter on the Canvas layer only. I then go into Photoshop or Krita with the image if I need to do further work on other layers and editing. This version has a bug that doesn’t let you disable the advert nags. It was fixed in the version after this but they released that as a paid version so I felt pretty resentful at the time.
