[Marok]

Hello,

I use Adobe Photoshop CS to make my digital paint. But in very tutorials they use Adobe Photoshop 7 to make a brush configuration. And in another tutorials they use Corel painter.

The program you use will not make you a better artist. Artists on this site use both photoshop and Painter to wonderful effect. It is your choice and you must practice these programs until you know what you are doing. Try and find tutorials in your own language or discover artists and designers in your country who can show you how the programs work. That is how most of us learn.

You can do pretty much the same work in Painter and Photoshop. Painter is more adaptable to doing straight art work with the feel for real oils and watercolors. Photoshop is geared more to graphic designing work and work more of a technical nature. However, the two programs can be interchangeable, depending on the person using them. The Photshop file format can be used in Painter, although not the other way around.
Photoshop 7 is a very good Photoshop version, as is CS. I believe the brushes created are adaptable to either. Tutorials are great, but you just have to do the work to learn it.

Oils, pastels, brushes, effects and the expert technicals.

Painter is supposed to be fun. The best way to learn the program is to have fun playing with all of the brushes in Painter. Soon, you will learn which brushes you like best and the ones that work best for you. If there is something you don't understand, see the manual, select Help in the menu of Painter. If you still can't find an answer, come here and ask a specific question. There are many people here who are willing to help you.

Tutorials are great, but in my opinion, you should first learn what each brush will do and find some favorites that will give the results you want in your own painting style.

Avoid getting an information overload before you have an understanding of Painter's brushes and find the ones you prefer. There are no quick and easy answers. It will take some time to learn what you can do in Painter. Go and have fun learning!

Good luck!

Marok,

There are several video lessons on various Painter topics at WikiVid Painter (http://wikivid.com/index.php/Painter). One or two of them discuss the relationship between Painter and Photoshop.

You may need to download a plugin for your browser from the links provided on that website in order to see and hear the lessons, and you will need to have earphones or speakers attached to your computer to hear the narration. However, if you don't have sound capability, you can rely on the subtitles that appear below the video screen.
