 Painter X for Photographers
This book is fabulous! The video tutorials are crystal clear.
It' just loaded with pracitical, easy to find knowledge.
I especially liked the Choosing Brushes section which gave examples of what each type of brush can do.
Highly recommended.
HUGELY useful book for me
The way this book is organized and the quantity of exercises has done a great job of introducing me to Painter X. I did some video tutorials before buying this book and didn't remember a thing once I was done viewing them. But the combination of reading the text and doing the exercises at my own pace instead of trying to keep up with a video has given me a good idea of what I can do with Painter. The exercises are great because you feel like you've really achieved something with each one and that you could duplicate the effect on your own images. I only used the accompanying DVD to copy the practice images (there are a couple missing that you can download from the author's website). I would recommend this book as an excellent beginner's text with the caveat that you probably need to have a good working knowledge of other graphics programs (like Photoshop) to use the book or you might get stuck following along in the excercises for lack of detail.
Great book for photographers new to Painter X
I am a photographer, not an artist, who wanted to be able to create paintings and sketches from my photographs. When I first got Painter X I found it intimidating and did not find the help and tutorials very helpful. After reading reviews here, I purchased Martin Addison's Painter X for Photographers and it has been great for getting me going fast.
It is geared towards photographers wanting to make artwork from their photos, but Martin covers all the background info as well. I followed all the tutorials on the cd and then worked through the book. His style is clear and easy to follow and he is actually quite charming. I feel like I have a solid mastery of Painter X now and can proceed to learn and explore more with confidence. I am so glad I bought THIS book!
essential reading for 21st century photo/artist
I love this book. the dvd instruction gets one immediately into practice // and soon enough gets your head spinning with a smorgasbord of creative possibilities. the author gives detailed instructions regarding cloning, layering, painting, and montages, etc. I highly recommend this book for aspiring photo/artists, digital artists, photo/artists and photographers delving into the digital world. Yes, there are other painterX books out there...but this seems to be the one for me. thank you mr. addison.
 Transforming Your Images
As photographers, we're always looking for ways to extend our art and stretch the boundaries of our craft. So it was intriguing when Painter was introduced to us. The thought of transforming our phtography into the world of oils, watercolors, pastels had to be explored - so we bought it. Even if you are experienced and comfortable with applications like Photoshop or Lightroom, Painter will have you scratching your head for a while. Like Photoshop, the initial learning curve is a challenge, but it's a worthwhile journey. "Painter X for Photographers" was a great help. It takes youthrough the process, step by step, suggesting settings and explaining them and makes sense of the workflow. You learn how to work with the brushes to get the results you're looking for and it comes with a DVD loaded with many examples and exercises.
