Is Painter 7 for OS X?
Joe
I would like to buy Painter 7 but I don't know if It works with OS X,
May someone tell me something about It?
Thanks,

Yes, it does. With the Painter 7 Update (patch released in December
2001) included, there is Wacom pressure support for OS X.

Thanks for your help, you are very kind, I want to ask you a doubt I
have.
The 'Patch' that you mention is the release 7 of Painter, right?
I'm sorry If I sound silly with this but, this is the first time I will
try Painter and want to be sure.
I remember have seen the version 6 working in the OS 9 some months ago
but, I don't know if the Version 7 is different only because it is for
OS X or if that new version had more features inside.
Thanks again for your time,
Joe

The Painter 7 Upgrade (entirely new version) was released in August
2001. Painter 7 includes a lot of new features and a whole new Water
Color brush technology, Water Color Layers, the new Liquid Ink brushes
and Liquid Ink Layers, two new Effects options (Distress and Serigraphy
Effect), and the option to display, or not display, sections in the Art
Materials, Objects, and Brush Controls palettes (this can help to clear
space on the Painter screen). At the bottom of this message, I'll
include some links so you can take a look at what Painter 7 offers. It's
a great new version and we're enjoying it a lot.
In December 2001, the Painter 7 Update (patch) was released. The Painter
7 Update (patch) includes OS X pressure sensitivity for Wacom tablets,
some bug fixes, and the new Tinting brushes.. maybe more that I can't
recall at the moment.
Take a Look at What Painter 7 Offers.. on the Computer Arts Magazine

On my website, PixelAlley, you can read more about Painter 7 from the
user's point of view. Follow the links on the right side of the
PixelAlley Section Links Page:
http://www.pixelalley.com/pixelalley-sections-pages.html
There's a section named Painter 7 Findings - Tips and Facts that lists
problems found in the original release of Painter 7 in August 2001..
along with solutions and/or workarounds were we found them. Some of
these problems have been fixed with the Painter 7 Update (patch), but
the information is still worth reading as much of it still applies.
You'll also find Painter Developer John Derry's Visual Guides for Water
Colors, Liquid Ink, and Keystroke Shortcuts, along with Karen Sperling's
Quick Reference Guide for Water Colors.. all downloadable in PDF format.
In the Painter 7 Tutorials section, you'll find the beginnings of what
will no doubt be a long list of tutorials, eventually.
In the Painter 7 Custom Water Color Brushes section, you'll find some
brushes to download along with demo images to show how they paint. On
that page, there's a link to "Water Color Brushes File Download and
Management Questions and Answers" that you'll probably want to read if
you download these brushes.
You'll also find tutorials that can be used with Painter 7 in the older
Tutorials section by clicking the top left link on the PixelAlley
Section Links Page (URL above). The tutorials are all color coded to
indicate the Painter version(s) for which they were written.
When you get Painter 7, or even before, please come visit us in the
Painter Can forum at In Depth Discussions. It's an active community
where you can ask all the questions you need to ask and join in the fun
as well. Painter users at all levels are welcome and treated with equal
kindness, respect, and generosity by the other artists. The URL is below

It said on the cover cd the painter 7 demo was for OSX only?
I am using 9.1 on an older powermac......am not sure if OSX will work on
it. Am aware that Corel has a downloadable demo at its website...but it
does not give any required specifications for the mac platform. Also it is
not possible to use a download manager.

try to get involved with this soon, I really want to learn some of

Some applications who are for OS X can run under the OS 9 but, you need
first to upgrade to OS 9.2 first and unfortunately it doesn't
guarantees It will work 100% fine, It may crash ocasionally, this is
the only way I think, otherwise you will need to upgrade to OS X and It
also will depend of the hardware you already have in your machine, you
must remember that the OS X was made thinking in the new G4's Dual
cpu-systems in order to take advantage of the two processors, by the
way, I was in the same situation like you, I had a G3 running the OS
9.1.
I hope you can find a solution,
Best,
Jo

You should be fine then. Painter runs on OS 8.6 to X.

who assured me that the demo on the cover cd was for OSX only.
I have no idea what the advantage of that is.
