Oh gawd, not again....okay here's my opinion. Deep Paint is/was only a
cheap imitator of painter's capability and was a shot at grabbing a bunch
of bucks as an "artistic" plugin for photoshop.

It wasn't as bad as that. For Photoshop users who just don't have the
time to learn Painter's way of doing things, Deep Paint provides
painterly cloning effects with a mild learning curve. But I do agree
that Painter--esp. version 6--is better. The current version supports
multiple layers of Impasto (3d bump-mapping) effects, and the new
brushes are better.
If you (the original poster) want to tell us what kind of work you have
it mind to do, we'd be glad to advise you further.

with a sketch in Illustrator followed by the use of Painter or Deep
Paint, plus the use of Photoshop along with filters and plug-ins.

software product. So the paint engine is actually geared more towards 3D
then 2D usage. I have both Painter 6 and Deep Paint, they are similar but
different. Actually the Deep Paint engine was superior to Painter before
the release of Painter 6.

So what changed between 5.5 and 6 in Painter that made the "engine"
better? On what basis was the "engine" better?
Glenn Pechacek
a guess on my part.
To answer your second question, better can be subjective but for one the
paint speed is improved with Painter version 6.

(if I can get this wacom hooked up to this laptop). It might be worth
upgrading to 6.
BTW anyone want to buy this 6x8 serial wacom pad -- I'd perfer to get the
usb one at this point. Make me an offer.
Best Wishes,

side ways move to USB 6x8, it really does not make that much, if any
difference.
Painter 6 is a very good upgrade.

currently using a laptop that only has one serial port and my MS
Activesync to my winCE nino tends to want that serial port exclusively,
thus the desire to move to usb....

driver (very rare, esp. compared to the ArtzII on a serial port I had), I
just unplug it and plug it in again. Seems to fix it with no rebooting, and
it doesn't even take another power outlet. I've had a lot less conflicts
with it.

I tried that last week and the wacom drivers wouldn't see the added
serial port for some reason. (the thing I didn't try though before
returning it was to see if the nino/activesync would use it.) I've pretty
much decided to go back to a desktop asap, so in the mean time I'll just
have to make do...
Thanks!
