Corel Painter 4 Essentials Review & Giveaway

The Winner is Seeryus Mama said... 217
I can't remember!

Yay! Persistance is the key!!! Congrats!!

I received this awesome program from Corel! As most of you know I love Photography and am trying to start a business doing photography, so this program is right up my alley. If you want to change your photos other then the normal editing and all then this program is for you! It can take a normal picture turn it into art. You turn it into a painting, or drawing. The best part is it is easy only three easy steps and your photo is now a beautiful painting. Wow how great is that!

Sketch or paint on a blank canvas to produce an original image, and add creative elements to any digital project. With great tools, brushes, paints and effects, you will find all kinds of ways to spruce up those beautiful pics and make them even more exciting. You will be letting your creativity out trust me and like I said it is sooo fun and easy.


This a great program for anyone to have. It is even great for kids to create their masterpieces. I recommend this for all computer users and people with kids and pictures. You can find out so much more at http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1190317151777#tabview=tab0


Corel sent me 1 to giveaway which is soooo cool! OK this contest will be a little different instead of the normal two weeks contest even though it might take a while it will be fun I figured we would do my first Live Giveaway.


OK how this will work first you must and I mean must go to the site above and tell me one feature about this program you love. This is mandatory to win and I WILL CHECK! Also there must be a way to contact you if you are the winner. I have had to pick a different winner because i couldn't contact them!!!!


After you post your initial entry the rules are you can just comment and chat through comments till we get to the winning number only rules are you cant not post twice in a row there must be a comment in between your comments and your comments must be more than one word. Most importantly Have fun!!



OK and for the winning number 217

I would like to have a fairly easy program to use to play with pics and this one looks like it would be fun. One of the features I like is it has 32 undo levels, but I also like that it has a tutorial based guidebook. It looks like it has lots of great features.

CaseyDeuce said...

This sounds like such a fun program!! Thanks for the chance!!

Unknown said...

I love that it has a tutorial based guidebook otherwise I would be lost! I also love that it is MAC compatible

VickieB said...

I can see it's going to be a while before we get to the magic number. I really would love to give this a try.

Unknown said...

I am going to go tweet!

YZgirl4 said...

I like that it has charcoal brushes. This would be great for my family

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Unknown said...

I would use this for my dd's pics

YZgirl4 said...

This would be great for my girls to use to make gifts for family members!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Unknown said...

I tweeted again this is going to be a long one

YZgirl4 said...

Yes, I think it will be a long time. Good think I am home today...I'll just leave the computer on

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Unknown said...

I think it may be due to the Blogging Party going on I can't keep up!

YZgirl4 said...

There is definitely a lot going on right now....I don't know how you mommy bloggers do it! I give you lots of praise!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Unknown said...

I'm pretty new and definitely have lots of trouble keeping up but it does keep me out of trouble

YZgirl4 said...

Brea, I just checked out your blog, your kids are cuties!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

YZgirl4 said...

Your welcome, I hope you are feeling better. Aww, naptime in our house, one of my favorite parts of my day


yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Unknown said...

Also, thanks a bunch for following!

YZgirl4 said...

Your welcome, love to find new blogs worth following. What do you do in the psych hospital? I use to work in a mental health clinic for kids.

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Estela said...

Woah...check this out!!

Paper Selector
Enjoy quick access to a greater selection of paper textures that accurately reproduce the feel of using traditional art materials. You can even control the texture of the canvas to achieve the results expected from using traditional media on a given surface, like pencil on watercolor paper, felt pens on cotton paper, or chalk on the sidewalk.


Sidewalk chalk painting on the computer?? How cool is that???

Sky said...

I like that you can authentically reproduce the natural movement of your brush, right down to the individual bristles. How darn cool is that! I love photography, but don't have any cool programs to play with. I usually have to send my pictures to my SIL and she edits them for me. I'd love to be able to do it myself...and from what I've seen on the Corel Painter website the possibilities are endless!

seeryusfam@msn.com

YZgirl4 said...

I also send my pics to my sister in law!...lol

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Estela said...

I'm getting into digi scrapbooking. This would be a cool tool for that!

YZgirl4 said...

The tips and tricks section of the website is really helpful!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

VickieB said...

Just thought I would check in. Going back to reader

YZgirl4 said...

I thought a lot more people would be posting a lot quicker. This seems like such a great product to win! So many things to do with it!


yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]com

Estela said...

I so agree with you! I keep being called away. So much I want to/need to do. I'd swear it was a lazy Sunday except for the hecticness. LOL

YZgirl4 said...

Wow, where is everyone. Every time I come back, I think there will be a lot more posts!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]net

Unknown said...

Yeah me too. I thought for sure it would have picked up by now!

collyn23 said...

yes this is going slow I am going to tweet it and try to get the word out more it is a awesome program

YZgirl4 said...

Taking my daughter outside to play a bit before dinner...let's see some posting!..lol

Anonymous said...

There are a lot of ways to learn to use this program. For example, "Access video tutorials from Painter Master John Derry directly from the application." Very cool feature!
digicat{AT}sbcglobal{DOT}net

Unknown said...

I would love a great program to play with my pics and this feature sounds great for me 'Tutorial-based Guidebook' since I am just learing how to play with photo editing stuff. You can email me shimmermeblue23@yahoo.com if I win.

VickieB said...

Weekend is coming up, posts should pick up by then, I hope.

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I like the RealBristle Brushes. How cool is that?
I also like that it comes complete with at guidebook. Because I need all the help I can get with things like this!

Unknown said...

I just tweeted this, now I'm off to check out the rest of your blogs.

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

So I tweeted about it but I don't know how to show the individual tweet link. Can anyone help me out?

Unknown said...

I see some new faces!

Unknown said...

Hi Brea's Mommy, I just stopped by your blog but left to check out the blog party. Now I have to stop back hehe. Great blog btw. Your daughter's gorgeous!

Anonymous said...

TO PIECE OF ME: To get the link, click where it says (for example) "8 minutes ago from web" (right below your post). Then copy/paste the link that comes up in the search bar. I needed help with this, too, when I first started!

Unknown said...

Brea, great Thankful Thursday! I might just have to do one of those posts some Thursday!

Unknown said...

Thanks shimmermeblue

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Thanks so much Carolsue!

I got it! http://twitter.com/PieceOfMeBlog/status/1363431489

Unknown said...

Shimmermeblue I just favorited you on etsy I love the calm serenity watch it is beautiful! Will check more out when I have time!

Unknown said...

You're welcome Brea, this is gonna be a long night hehe.

Unknown said...

It is looking that way for sure

Unknown said...

I've been getting caught up on my Entrecard clicks. You know what really irks me is when people drop on you but don't have the widget on their site! I swear, those people need to get banned.

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Dinner finished, dishes done, now its on to bath time.

Unknown said...

I think that sometimes it is just a malfunction. Someone kept emailing me that I didn't have one on my site, but it was always there when I logged on and I still had plenty of drops. So I am not sure what happened there

Unknown said...

Sorry brea, I didn't see your comment up there. Thank you, that is one of my favorite pieces! Well the b/f's making me go out for a bit with him, so I guess I won't be able to try to win this all night hehe. Good luck to the rest of you!

Unknown said...

Sounds like you'll be having more fun than me!

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Enough procrastinating. I have to go give my little one a bath.

Estela said...

What's Entrecard and drops?

YZgirl4 said...

Done with dinner. The weather is so nice here right now (CA) Great day for playing outside. My daughter needs a bath now!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]net

Estela said...

Argh. I'm from CA originally, but now live in MA. I miss the sunshine.

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Bath done! Now maybe she will go to sleep!

Estela said...

Mine are still up, too excited with Grandma visiting/!

YZgirl4 said...

I don't think I can ever move from here. No, we don't have real seasons, but I think I like it that way. If I want snow....half hour drive to the mountains. If I want beach...half hour drive to the beach.


yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]net

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I tweeted again!

pestkaj said...

Hey that paper selector sounds cool- totally something I would use! pestkaj(at)yahoo(dot)com

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Little one still not asleep. She is watching her daddy play Xbox.

YZgirl4 said...

baths are done, I showered...girls are going to bed soon and I need to be a good girl and do my pilates!

yzgirl4[at]verizon[dot]net

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Jennifer-Eighty MPH Mom said...

I love the Mixer Palette! I can make beautiful colors with that! It looks like a really wonderful program...

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

She's finally asleep! Yay!

Unknown said...

It's always nice when they fall asleep especially if I'm not sleepy yet!

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I know! I always get excited and think of this as my "mommy time."

Anonymous said...

Wow, this could go on for a LONG time at this rate! I'll tweet again later.

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

So I have learned two things tonight. One is how to number my comments and two is how to find the direct link to a tweet. Productive day in my book!

pestkaj said...

Ok I am back and ready to get this baby up to at least 100. Anyone else in with me?

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I'll try! But it is getting late and I need to get in the bed. So the quicker the better!

pestkaj said...

OK. I need to turn in too. everyone around me is already snoring away! (1 person, multiple pets, lest you think I have an odd situation..lol)

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

Haha! My little one is sleeping away but my hubby is still up playing xbox (which I despise)!

pestkaj said...

No x box here, but we love our wii. We play old school games like dr Mario on it, haha. We could have just kept the old original nintendo

I tweeted again =)

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I miss Nintendo! Especially Super Mario Cart.

pestkaj said...

The wii is cool because you can download old school games for like 10 bucks. Gotta love that.

We are so the only ones working this thing!

Unknown said...

I liked nintendo too!

pestkaj said...

Sometimes simple is better...

Unknown said...

Good morning everyone I hope this picks up today!

VickieB said...

icefairy said...

I love that it only takes 3 simple steps to turn a photo into a painting.

Unknown said...

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I'm still here!

Unknown said...

Just checking in to see how things are going! Be back later!

VickieB said...

Just checking in, I sure would love to try this program.

Unknown said...

Good morning!Just checking back in!

VickieB said...

Unknown said...

Good morning, I'm back again! I wonder if we can make it all the way today!

YZgirl4 said...

Good morning everyone...hope everyone is enjoying their weekend


yzgirl4[at[verizon[dot]net

Janet and Maya said...

Hi everyone, wow, we have a lot of comments to go, huh?

I just found you on twitter.....I went to the Corel site and I like the learning tutorials - especially the video. I've never used a program like this, so I would probably need help!

Jessica @ Piece Of Me said...

I am back again today!

Janet and Maya said...

Any advice on how to tell if someone has posted a comment so that I don't get two in a row? Do you just keep refreshing?

Thanks and nice to meetcha.

Janet

Unknown said...

Janet, as far as I know, you have to keep refreshing.

Janet and Maya said...

Are you in a mood to speed type? Do you have time, we can just go back and forth typing two words..... I can go for at least 1/2 hour. If I can't get anyone to just type, type, type, I think I'll jump out, thanks anyway!

Unknown said...

Sorry Janet, I was pretty busy and haven't come back since the last comment I posted. It would be cool if we could actually get to comment 721 though.

Unknown said...
