Summary: The Painter 6 WOW! Book (with CD-ROM)
Comment: Disclosure: At the author's request, I submitted for the book, gratis, several illustrations I had done for clients, and as part of those contributions, I described how I created them with Painter 6. I have no financial association with the book. I am unquestionably a Painter advocate; it is the workhorse of my medical illustration business. In my estimation, this application is peerless in the area of computer 2D graphics applications that simulate natural artistic media -- whether used for commercial art or for fine art. REVIEW: The Painter 6 WOW! Book has taught me how to make use of many of Painter's features that I hadn't yet explored -- and I've been using it since 1994! As was once aptly stated in a MacWorld review, Painter doesn't have a steep learning curve; it has a steep experiential curve. It has SO MANY artistic effects waiting to be experienced by the user who takes the time to delve its depths. There are certain of its features and capabilities that I've made use of, but was unaware of how to use those features even more fully. Cher Threinen-Pendarvis' inspiring, informative and well designed book has helped me to maximize my use of Painter, and has greatly helped to extend my knowledge of what it is capable of doing. It is a digital artist's dream come true. My opinion.

Summary: An incredible wealth of information
Comment: The Painter 6 Wow book is incredible in its' depth in detail of the features, tips and hidden gems of Painter. The first thing to do is flip through the book a few times to build up the anticipation of working through it, and then start to read it from cover to cover. The tutorials are practical and are also non restricting in that you are not learning projects but techniques that you can expand upon. There are new things to learn on every page, and you will find yourself saying, "Ah, so that is how to do that", over and over again. This book makes learning the software a fun and wonderful adventure. Also, the book is expanded from the previous edition with 80 full pages, and ALL of the information is updated for Painter 6. This book is a MUST have.

Summary: Brush up on your Painter skills
Comment: I've had every version of Painter software since it began as a grey-scale sketcher program. Since then, I've learned basic skills in Painter, but even with long experience, I found I needed a text for learning how to get the most out of this powerful but sometimes difficult software.
The book is complete in that it contains Basic instruction, tricks, and techniques --for example, how to paint in watercolors and oils. If you've used the software at all, you probably know how to do this. But looking at the fine examples of artwork in the book can help to suggest how to get more from the basics.
Where The Painter 6 Wow book really shines is in learning the more difficult techniques such as working with layers and shapes (drop shadows, dynamic text, melting text into water, photo enhancement and especially now to do montage/collage and terrain maps.) There are some nice examples of art work using these techniques. Painter 6 software added some features for working on web images and animations--these are also covered and for me, were the reason I really wanted this book.
It's nice to have the CD-ROM with extra textures, and other goodies. There are some trial software programs like Photoshop demo, a collection of stock photos, some "fabulous fonts", some backgrounds and video clips.
WELL WORTH THE PRICE.
