They literally need rebelle 7 ported to ipad with all features I really love their reference window/liabrary feature its soo good.. for the inferface you talked about they would probably need to either go procreate direction or say screw it and do the clip studio paint way with simple mode and studio mode.

I recently watched videos, and it's amazing Thank you

Painter is my favorite raster program - great brushes, pencils, inking brushes for comics - good brush calibration and smoothing - the best blenders also. I prefer it to almost everything else for just straight drawing and painting, however it needs more practical tools like clipping layers, warp mesh, adjustment layers, etc. Also needs an upgrade to the basic tools in a few places - needs ability to make straight lines by holding Shift instead of the straight lines tool which is slow for example. The UI is a tad clunky in some places but mostly I like it just fine - being able to dock panels any way I like and create custom panels works great. Sadly I fear that Painter is done - there was no Painter 2024 and no announcement of Painter 2025 yet. I hope I am wrong - I will be really sad if Painter goes away. Also I don't need AI and don't want AI. We all know that Adobe has lost a lot of users lately. Alludo/Corel could grab some new users just by improving some features and rejecting AI in my opinion (and lowering the price).

Thank you Sir...

I still use my 2018 license time to time, but I've been wondering when a later version would come out.

Corel Painter 2023 is obsolete compared to Rebelle 7. I have both.

I've only used Painter so far, but Corel doesn't upgrade Painter and very disappointing to only sell brush packs Rebelle, by comparison, looks very intuitive and reasonable This video helped me a lot, Thanks

Couldn't agree more...don't put in features till they are solid.

Thank you for sharing your insight 😊

The only thing I wish Corel Painter had built-in is a Gamut Mask device. I didn't realize just how much wasn't taught to me about color back at university. I've found AI to be stale and it's not a style I really prefer for illustrations. I almost wish most commercial art today looked like those old painted film illustrations because they were warmer or had exciting brush strokes. I might even explore older art styles just to escape from photorealism.

Corel have been failing on Painter since 2007, when the last meaningful upgrade was released. I was on the 'advisory board' for a few years until I quit when it became abundantly clear Corel had no interest in the input of artists or improving the software, only wanting to squeeze as much money from the customer until the product was wrung dry. Which I imagine it now is. Part of the issue too was that when they took bought the software from Metacreations they had no idea how to modify much of the code, most of which hasn't changed in 25 years. Since 2020 I've been using Paintstorm. IMO the brushes are unmatched, way ahead of Rebelle 7, ArtRage and the rest. R7 is great for gimmicks like dripping watercolours and glitter paint, but if you're using the software for work, Paintstorm is the business. The only reason I'm browsing videos is that Paintstorm Studio, like many of the other companies, seem to have given up on their product. Maybe everyone is getting into AI, where the money is.

I love euan. See what I accidentally did below …. Ty for this video and how he approached the mark making and I relate to the slow start to speed up the drawing. Great video

I wonder if the Humble Bundle sales have actually been bad for Corel. Yes, they probably sold more copies during those sales, but at a much lower cost. Providing the nth-1 version via Humble Bundle a number of years in a row, predictably, gives users less impetus to upgrade, especially considering the small feature gap between versions. I would love to see new versions of Painter and Paint Shop Pro, but it's been so long since they released anything new, every time I periodically check their website, I'm almost expecting to see a notice saying the domain has expired because the algorithm has detected that the income from sales has fallen below the cost of keeping the website alive.

Really helped me see why Painter might be stagnating. I hadn't consider the effects of AI on them. I hope they start trimming the fat and make painter work on more hardware. Who knows maybe we'll see another program that is available on Linux to (probably not from corel but someone maybe).

When moving around the metallic paint changes and it looks like it is reflecting something. I have asked Rebelle if there was a way for me to give the metallic engine an image of mine to reflect. They said there wasn't. Maybe some day we'll get that.

One of your best Rebelle videos, Pete. That’s saying something, because I’ve enjoyed and used them all! Thanks so much.

I use it as I would a photo library for creating covers and designs from multiple images. It is a wonderful a tool that randomly produces strange, often dazzling but mostly sterile imagery. The creative part comes in trying to adapt them, to give them some soul.

I’ve got the ones that just slip over the normal tip and love them so far. Great at slowing down the stylus so it’s not so wily nilly. I can’t image not using them now.

Basic things Rebelle lacks and I wish they would fix these basic things before adding features. No bottom drop/accumulation of water and pigment to continue with lighter tone. Colors do not dry with lighter tone. Mop is really, terrible. Washes, an essential part of watercolor, are horrible. Color mixing is a joke. Spatter is very limited. The opacity of the paint is too confusing. They really should make it so that only adding water affects opacity. This would be a big step towards improving the app. Now, it's all over the place, from the brush creator to granulation. Dry brushes are not random enough. Dry brushes, an essential part of watercolor, are useless in Rebelle. Opacity and visual settings are reset every time you switch a brush. Very annoying. Where are all the brush shapes hidden, for example the flat brush's template? If Expresii had better canvases and some more granulation/flocculation, it would give escape motions a run for their money. I swear if I see water color drips on one of their marketing videos (Hi Justin) I'm going to be ill. I have gone back to Corel and traditional.

Thanks for an interesting video. I will certainly give this a try.

Great video, I've been wondering whether there would be a new version of Painter too. I wish they would at leat remove the ad popups though. AI is the easy go to for these companies at the moment but i think the incorporation of more 3D into painting software would be useful and more rewarding creatively, 3D software like Blender are incorporating more tools for painterly and stylised art and better drawing and animation tools like Grease Pencil.

Corel has some remarkable brushes, but it would be hard for them to beat Rebelle's watercolor, metallic paints, and PRICE. People new to digital art aren't going to pay $400 for Painter, when they can get Rebelle for $90 to $150, and occasionally the older version for $10. If Corel can keep the brushes, lower the price, and make the program easier to use, then they can compete. Corel already has Vision FX image generation, so they can always work to improve that.

Corel has some unique brushes and mechanics (every software has its own look and feel). But the layer thing sucks, and the UI is so cumbersome, and not friendly at all to new users. They need a ground up redesign of their UI.

Just for the record, Painter is usually included in a Humble Bundle in Autumn, I got 2019, 2021 and now 2023 for basically nothing, given that they also include other software with it. This time it's packaged with Corel Draw and Paint Shop Pro, plus other goodies.

The ai imaging is not creative even if it may appear to be so to humans. Chat bot algorithms from several years ago that were kind of bad had the ability to fool humans into personifying the chat bot in its early and rather limited days. Those type of creative assumptions brought on by the sci-fi we’ve consumed in the past, to me that proves that the human mind is much more creative than any machine for better and for worse. All of these things are large language models that average the training data and try to match the output to the words you’ve typed in. Algorithms have been doing this sort of thing for a while with numbers or other things, it just seems a lot crazier when it’s images or videos.

1. Metallic Paint - Don't care, will not be using 2. Layer Filters - Don't care 3. Color Panel - I do like the color panel a lot. 4. Brush Creator - time will tell 5. Structures - seems like a gimmick, don't care 6. Paper Surfaces, I liked the existing papers just fine. I like the Ruler tool. I like the paths for SVG imports.

They really. Need to make it a stand alone version in 2024 for iPads. I thought Apple was slow when realizing artists needs. But escape motion is really next level slow. Artists are on the go and don’t want to carry around a large device. Apple has finally understood when will escape motion step up… or will they ever?

Thank you, you say many good things and show a lot of truth. I believe that this slow precision is the best way to know and control oneself in the act of drawing and painting. Everyone can try and understand. We need to go back to our roots to take to the sea and ride the waves of the new sea that awaits us out there, always. Thank you again.

Is it me or Rebelle doesn't import masks together with PSD files from Photoshop?

AND they dont allow you to simply upgrade from earlier versions, like version 3 for example, my case...

Agreed with everything on this video !!!! THEY ARE IN A HURRY to put the product out and do not work on all the problems it has, and then SCREW US, HAVING TO INSTALL, REINSTALL adding stuff over stuff in our computers...C'MON GUYS !!!!

Interesting video Pete. A possible Patreon class sounds good.

For heaven's sake people use NATURAL media. DRAW for Christ's sake! Express yourself. Be individual! DON'T rely on software that purports to be an emulation of natural media. If you DRAW with EMOTION and FEELING and SOUL you are an ARTIST. If you rely on software that invites you to create so called 'Art' by perpetually using the 'back' button to support your lack of skill you are demeaning the artists who have spent a lifetime learning the skills to express their emotions about whatever the subject is. Why use a support that MECHANISES and continuously FAILS to convey the INTIMACY and SOULFULNESS of a REAL ARTIST???? Sorry REBELLE you are decrying and roboticizing the HUMAN SPIRIT. Leave it alone. You are encouraging laziness. That is NOT what ART is about. It's bad enough with AI taking over... and if that isn't a demonstration of laziness, I don't know what is...

I have Rebelle 5 and was thinking about upgrading to 7. Your video and the comments below have helped me to decide to wait, maybe infinitely. Especially as I read that there is not an existing user discount to upgrade.

Thank you very must for the review still usefull in 2024. 👍🏼(greets from the Netherlands.)

Combine the layers, save as a jpeg, reload the single layer jpeg with the two effect and now use the wet tool. It will work.

As I see it Pete, the reason small textures (WC paper, Canvas) work is that they are not expected to follow the subject matter, the curve of a cheek, fern fronds etc. This is the downfall of programs that are supposed to turn a photo into a painting. Their "brushstrokes" do not follow the subject matter. There's just no substitute for making brush marks, with a stylus, as one would with "real" paint. If we want more real paintings, we have to put in the same real work that has ALWAYS been necessary. An overlay brush texture is only convincing to me if I paint it last, 50% gray and follow what I have painted on layers below. Thank for all your study on this!

What do you think about ArtRage Vitae? I think the oils can get thicker and have a more natural feel than Rebelle.

I keep coming back to Rebelle because I love what they're trying to do with this software but it never runs for more than 5 minutes before crashing completely. I just don't have the patience to deal with something this unstable. I first purchased Rebelle about a year ago and have downloaded numerous "bug fix/crash fix" updates that have been released in that timeframe but none of them seem to make any difference. It's buggy. It constantly crashes. Right now it's absolutely not worth a purchase.

Thanks Pete. I'd be interested. I'm always searching for that natural traditional look. But more importantly I am searching for the feel. Thanks.

I wondered if the control for paint penetration into a texture was more a simulation of how loaded with paint the "brush" is rather than a measure of how resistant the texture was to paint ingress in the deeper areas. That could just be my natural pedant talking though as the effect is much the same.

I knew about Rebelle a few months ago, and I like it a lot. It feels more natural than Corel. I love Rebelle's Perspective and Rulers tools so much, that I can't see myself using any other software in the foreseeable future.

I own Rebelle 5. is version 7 worth the $149.99 pricetag upgrade?

Thanks for a very informative video, I am at the crossroads between choosing corel painter 2023 and rebel 7. I am coming from a graphic design background previously using illustrator and corel draw and want something that can produce large canvas prints( 1m x 2m )and scaling but with more of an interactive, organic brushes colour mixing and feel and the possibility of adding /adjusting layers, tints etc . Although photoshop might be able to handle the task I am trying to avoid the subscription business model.

What I find disappointing is for years now we still don't have a proper fill tool with pixal expansion. Something so simple should have been i,plemented long long ago

One minute starting might be a personal issue. My Rebelle starts in 10 seconds. Love the update review. Kinda inspires me to use stencils!

Since Escape listens to you: Consider asking them to add a lock button on the stencils on the orange five-circle menu. This will avoid moving it during the whole process! Thats a good idea on how to use stencils!

Krita never needs to "know" ahead of start which tablet I'm using. I just start Krita (for years now) and it works with fingertip, mouse or whatever tablet I've connected... all at once. I have to start and restart every time I switch from laptop screen stylus and XP-Pen tablet with Rebelle. No problems with Nanopixel on a Ryzen 5 pc.

Companies that ship bugs: I'm forced to wait until late cycle before upgrading. Hope they understand that, because I'm sure they'd rather have the money at release.

I downloaded the trial version, what piqued my curiosity about this software was the ability to create digital art that looks like an actual real counterpart. Some features added in this version make your paintings look fake, so to speak, so I refrain from using them. All in all, I think that Escape Motions needs a couple more versions to fine tune their software. It is not a bad app, but they can do better for sure.
