Merge brush looks into the actual brush settings

Creating brush looks so that it remembers what texture your brush has is a tedious extra step. All other painting programs allow you to save the texture as part of the variant, without this extra step.

Clean up the code. Start-up time is glacial after adding papers and brushes

Out of the box, Painter 2023 will start within 30 seconds on my PC. After adding 8 paper packs and 15 brush packs, I can go make coffee and take a bathroom break before the welcome screen appears. Seriously, it takes 4 minutes and 10 seconds. The ...

Make a Painter Essentials for Android

I think it would be great if Painter Essentials were made for Android phones. That way people with drawing/painting tablets can take the tablets anywhere and still be able to use Painter Essentials.

Multiple dabs for a single brush

I think it would be nice to be able to use a list of dabs (ideally with customizable chance of each being used) instead of a single one. It would be especially useful for painterly brushes or brushes meant to fill in parts of the background rather...

Real pigment blending

This video shows that it is possible to blend proper as traditional do. This is nothing the user can install, the developers have to incorporate it into the software. Rebelle 5 already use it and I want Painter to take benefit of this to. https://...
