Renders Painter IX comprehensible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Painter has long confused me. I'm not an "artist", just a photography hobbyist interested in new ways of expression. Painter always seemed just too tough, too steep a learning curve for the casual user. This book makes Painter to easy to understand and use for the photographer. The book is useful to users of Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro. Addision moves at a comfortable pace, exploring one tool after another. His projects and exercises are not demanding, but are very instructive. Many examples are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM. Overall, this is a great way for any photographer wanting to expand their capabilities to learn Painter. I wish there more books like this for other difficult to master programs. I recommend it highly. Jerry
Excellent Painter IX resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have been using Painter since version 6 and have many books on the application. My interest is in photography and post processing images in an "artistic" fashion. The book has helped me enormously to make the most of Painter from a photographer's perspective. This book is the one that is always by my side when working in Painter IX. I particularly like the Chapter 5 portion on the brushes. For me, this chapter alone made the book well worth its purchase. It's great having a single resource, which shows the many brush variant and examples of what they can produce.
Author goes the extra mile.

Although I have been using Photoshop for years, I'm new to Painter. In fact, I purchased Addison's book to decide, if I wanted to buy Painter IX.5. The photos in his book are outstanding, because they give you an instant comparison when using different papers and paint brush styles and sizes. As a beginner, I also appreciated the step by step cookbook style to accomplish a task in some of the chapters. Once I learn Painter, the cookbook section will be a good quick reference to obtain an effect. Normally, I would not have written a review, but I had a question, sent the author an email, and he answered the question. Now, that's extra value!
The title says it all

I first purchased Painter Ver 6 and discovered that no matter what book I purchased, I still had to be an artist to use the program. When I saw Martin Addison's book I figured I would try again with Painter IX. This book is actually for photographers! The book deals mainly with cloning techniques. His instructions are easy to follow. The images in the book are great and all are in color. If you use PhotoShop, this book is for you. This book should be required reading for anyone that is going to write a training manual. Addison shows how to do it!
First 2 chapters alone are worth the price
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Purchased a few weeks ago and set it aside as I've been heavily involved in work projects. Picked it up a few days ago and realized I had misplaced the CD which comes with the book. I e-mailed Martin, the author and the same day he responds saying he will send me a new CD. Unbelievable service! In the meantime, I apply the tutorial in chapter 2 to a picture of my house(instead of the castle which is on the CD) and the results are so amazing we are going to order an enlarged print to hang in the den. This is not like those photoshop books that you have to painfully slog through. You will be able to make great pictures almost immediately.
