Yes that's "normal" for Corel Painter X.


Painter 6.1 has the most stable interface and in my opinion is also the better designed, this is what Painter has come to, a buggy mess with a horrible interface with no gusto what so ever.

A slight exaggeration perhaps, Portus?

Painter X runs fine with me. Occasionally, very occasionally, I get symptoms like those that you describe but usually only after many hours of running the program and with several things running in the background. A restart with a minutes pause usually does the trick. Normally it is very efficient, often smoother than Photoshop.

Is your setup - RAM and Graphics card - good?

I have these bugs when i start and whithout anything running in the background... I dispair !

do you think that if i remove and reinstall it will work ?
i did not because i have a lot of customized brushes that i must transfer...

Can i find a solution on the english Corel web site ? the french one is faulty and incomplete

I'd suggest updating your painter up to version x.1 (I don't know if it's available in French), and then switch your painter scratch disk from c to any other drive, preferrably internal one as the data transfer rate could be slower with usb drives), disable advanced brush ghosting
painter is really awfully optimized and corel don't do much bug-testing before releasing a new version,
and it looks like that 90 % of its bugs are caused by ineffective work with your ram/cpu;
it works fine for some users, it is awfully unstable for others.

And generally Corel don't seem to care about user's issues, I'd suggest referring to this faq (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18367) if you have any stability/perfomance troubles.

ikken,

The thread for which you supplied the link and referred to as "this faq" is not a FAQ. It's just a list of suggestions I wrote, gathered over the years, that many Painter users have found helpful.

Portus,

Your very negative opinion is just that... your opinion.

Many artists use Painter versions following Painter 6 and find them great.

Cheer up, pal, and have a very Happy New Year 2009!

Jin > I have a precision : I saw that I have bugs only when my image is in"full screen" mode :

and no problem when my image is in a window :
http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr322/ellipse-et-boulon/exple2.jpg

so do you know why the "full screen" mode doesn't work... ?
Oh I love Painter... why doesn't want he to work ? :davi:
