Corel has released a new brush plugin for PhotoShop called. It uses Corel's Painter Particle brush technology, built in to Corel's Painter 2015, to create photo-realistic effects like smoke, dust, fabric, fire, hair, lighting and fur. These effects are added to photos using brush strokes, differentiating ParticleShop's brushes from alternative stamp-like brushes. ParticleShop is priced at $49.99 USD, and comes with 11 brushes as a starter pack. A total of 11 other are available at $29.99 USD.
Each brush pack contains 15 unique brushes and are built to work with a mouse, touchscreen, and pressure-sensitive tablet. The brush plugin is compatible with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, along with Corel's own PaintShop Pro and PHOTO-PAINT.
The software is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit and higher, including Windows 10, and Mac OS X 10.10 and under. Press release: New ParticleShop Plugin Delivers Incredible, Life-Like Brushes to Photoshop Users Praised by KelbyOne, ParticleShop Enables Designers and Photographers to Create Fantastic, Photo-Realistic Effects in Record Time OTTAWA, ONTARIO-(Marketwired - Aug.
10, 2015) - Corel® today released ParticleShop™, a new brush plugin for Adobe Photoshop that gives professional users the ability to create incredible images previously only possible in their imaginations - right within Photoshop. Bringing new levels of creative power to Photoshop and Lightroom, the ParticleShop plugin brushes spring, flow, gravitate and glow based on the user's unique expression. With life-like realism and unmatched speed and simplicity, ParticleShop finally gives photographers, designers and illustrators the power to design images that were previously too time-consuming or even impossible to achieve. 'When I first saw ParticleShop in action, I was blown away by the effects that could be created in a matter of minutes,' Corey Barker, Education and Curriculum Developer, KelbyOne. 'The atmospheric enhancements that can be added to photos are unlike anything I've seen before. Without ParticleShop, a designer on a tight deadline or budget might not even attempt to bring these effects to life, but now it's virtually effortless. ParticleShop will change the way users realize their creative vision.'
ParticleShop uses the power of the Corel® Painter® Particle™ brush technology to create specific, photo-realistic effects. Whether users want to add hair, fabric, fire, smoke, fur, dust or lighting to their photos, ParticleShop brushes can create these life-like effects with a simple brushstroke. Built to perform with a pressure-sensitive tablet, touchscreen or mouse, ParticleShop brushes enable users to add their unique artistic enhancements to any image. 'Without question, Painter's Particle brush technology can't be touched by anything else on the market. And while Painter users have been using their favorite art software along with Photoshop for years, with ParticleShop we're bringing the power of Particle brush technology right within Photoshop itself,' said Chris Pierce, Product Manager, Corel Painter. 'For anyone who has experienced the frustration of trying to achieve the look they want with stamp-like brushes found in other programs, ParticleShop's ability to create fantastic effects with each brushstroke will leave users speechless. How many great ideas have designers left behind because of the effort involved or a looming deadline?
With ParticleShop, they can now create these fantastic images in minutes.' Pricing and Availability: ParticleShop is a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Corel® PaintShop® Pro, Corel® PHOTO-PAINT™ and other photo-editing applications.

Unfortunately after using it a week or so on my conceptual photos it is disheartening that it only supports 8bit images.
So everytime I use it I have to downgrade my 16bit images to 8bit. For a product touted by Corel for use with photos this is a bummer. The final dealbreaker is that to get more Brush Packs that I would love to have the price goes up way too much.
Also there is no layers in the interface. Thankfully Corel has a money back guarantee so I returned/deactivated it. They need to seriously retool this software and the brush packs pricing etc. I am getting Flame Painter 3 and that is a great price and has TONS of brushes for free and is way more versatile.

I bought it this afternoon. I had to manually install it on Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X 10.10.4. Since it tried to install on Photoshop CC 2015, which I don't use.
Launching from PS it crashes Photoshop and it makes it Not Respond. Force Quitting PS reveals the Plug in interface which is extremely simple, not intuitive and limited to the starter pack. I like some of the effects so far but if it crashes PS, it's basically useless. It lets you work on the image but since you can't save it, so you just lose all the work. I should have known Corel didn't have a trial version spelled bad news.
I will ask for a refund or for an update that works. I haven't tried it on PS CC 2015 since my trial is expired but it will probably be the same. Let me know if anyone has luck making it work. Does Paintshop pro have non-destructive and nested layers yet? I consider these fundamental for pro useage as a cheap substitute to Photoshop.
I used to use Serif Photoshop which had both and had so much potential to be a half-decent replacement for Photoshop but for some useability/UI issues, slowness and ancient bugs going back 10 years that had never been fixed and were infuriating. Serif evidently didn't practice the Microsoft principle of 'Eat your own dog food' as their marketing people would have gone nuts, as I did. And is it multithreaded yet? By that I mean, is it using the full capability of the microprocessor. Is your kernel leaking RAM?
Every windows 10 machine I have is doing that. Also my laptop dumps its video card drivers every time I reboot, forcing me to uninstall them and have system update reinstall them. My sound card didn't work until the first update pack because they had a broken mixer. When I try to boot safe mode, I just get a blinking screen. Also, startup recovery fails and says that it is not compatible!? Oh yeah and my windows 7 profile caused some weird bug that sent the data sharing service into a loop writing log files over and over again to my C drive. That one was really, really fun to figure out how to fix.
I'm kind of sick of writing bug reports and asking questions in their forums. But yeah, no issues at all! Its just perfect! Hey Michaela, I just got my Shutterbug this morning and saw the write-up. I want to purchase the plug-in for use in LR & PS, but am wondering what this insurance addition is. I am replacing my desktop within the next few months so will have to re-download all my programs.
Will I be able to do this? If this is a one-time download, that makes no sense and I will not buy the program. So, I will buy it today if I can re-download it a few months from now when I buy my new system (waiting for Skylake to be in more desktops and am going 4K on a 32 inch monitor, so I need to have another download).
Corel Painter 2015 is designed to emulate the painting experience on a computer. Painter integrates with digital tools like the Wacom tablet, and through a range of features, Painter allows you to synthesize hundreds of techniques, brush strokes, and styles on your Mac. Pros Massive library of digital-painting tools: Corel Painter 2015 offers hundreds of options for brush strokes, paint styles, textures, and additional media.
An impressive new feature called RealBristle simulates the effect of what a bristle paintbrush looks like on paper. Another new option, Jitter Smoothing, brings a more natural feel to each stroke. Very fast and responsive: Corel Painter is very fast. While it requires a decent amount of power to run at peak efficacy, it operates most of its basic features efficiently, from extremely large canvases to quick zoom-ins. Cons Steep learning curve: This isn't new for a Corel Painter program, but it's an issue that newcomers must face: The learning curve is steep.
If you've used previous versions, it won't take long to navigate the updates and additions. But for those without previous experience, or those who have used only Photoshop, the learning process can be frustrating. Additionally, you may find that the most powerful features are best used on a tablet. Bottom Line Corel Painter 2015 is the best iteration to date, bringing in a number of new features; powerful, memory-friendly tools; and physics-based painting that in the hands of a master can create true masterpieces.
This is a great piece of software for any digital artist.
Corel Painter 2015 offers more options for working the way you want, including tablet support, custom workspaces, and new brushes. Corel has listened to its community in introducing yearly releases instead of two-year cycles, promising faster, more reliable updates. With Painter 2015, Corel brings the digital art suite to the tablet, with Real Time Stylus support alongside WinTab, three new Particle Brushes, Jitter Smoothing, workspace customization, and a boatload of enhancements perfect for portable digital artists. Pros Paint anywhere: Painter 2015 introduces a brand-new mode for your Windows 8 tablet PC. On a Surface Pro 2, Painter's tablet mode with Real Time Stylus support performed admirably. The drawing experience is a slight improvement over most mobile apps, thanks to the Surface's heavy-duty hardware. Overall Painter's tablet mode is convenient enough for you to make quick sketches on the bus or train.
Work how you want: Choose from multiple workspaces optimized for various creative types: photo artists, illustrators, traditional artists, or students. With a plethora of tools and endless options, Painter can be overwhelming. Corel eases the process with presets, laying out only the tools you need for the projects you're working on.
Of course, you can also create custom workspaces. More natural brushes: Painter introduces three new types of Particle Brush: Gravity, Spring, and Flow.
Photo artists will appreciate the Gravity brush, which adds a sense of weight that's helpful in colorization projects. Spring is an airy brush that can help replicate wispy effects like fog or smoke. The Flow brush creates weaves that make creating hairs, beards, and fur effects effortless. The brand-new Jitter Smoothing features bring a much more natural feel to the brushes, softening each stroke. Improved stability: Corel has always been conscious of its followers' hardware. By keeping requirements low (Pentium 4), Corel has ensured that Painter can deliver to a wider audience.
The expansion of 64-bit support for Windows in the previous release - and now for Mac - demonstrates this. That said, our preview build of Painter operated without a major hitch when we tested it on a regular Core i5 laptop with integrated graphics, the Surface Pro 2 (also i5), and a custom i7 with a discrete video card. Cons Steep learning curve: Painter is geared toward professionals, so newcomers will have some difficulty setting up. But Corel does offer a YouTube channel to guide first-time users. May not be enough reason to upgrade: A few particle brushes, a tablet mode, and more customizability mean that Painter is even more flexible than ever before, but is it enough to justify a full upgrade?
While traditional artists taking a stab at digital media will find Painter 2015 a steal, veteran Painters with an older version will have to decide if the new brushes and tablet mode are worth it. If you're used to the two-year release cycle, waiting for the 2016 update might make more sense. Bottom Line Painter 2015 gives digital artists the flexibility they need to create amazing work whenever inspiration strikes. Designed for artists and photographers, Painter 2015 is the closest you can get to working with traditional media on a computer or a tablet. Beginners may be overwhelmed with the many options available to them, but there's ample support to help get going.

Have fun with painting! OP, 22 august 2016, 09:25 - Hi Fernando, many thanks for the feedback. About Chaos&Evolutions, I didn't thought about redoing it, but that's a good idea. The previous version show timelapse with Gimppainter 2.6; and this tech is now really outdated. I'm just a little bit affraid of going into the Kdenlive source of Chaos&Evolution.
Kdenlive has difficulties here to open my files from 2014; so I have no hope for Kdenlive files of 2009. It mean it will certainly need not only just to re-record timelapse, and adapt the video-editing; but i'll need.to rewrite it from scratch.
to update it ( monthes of work ). But I'm really seduced by the Chaos&Evolutions² idea:-) I'll keep it in a corner of my mind. Denys 17 november 2016, 11:10 - David, thank you so much for your efforts! Also thank you for magnificant materials on how use and to twick Krita to meet one's individual needs I'd like to share one trick i've found out rescently about digital sketching - I've read a lot of complaints (and I felt the same) with regards to 'plastic' feel of the device when draiwing with on a tablet's plastic surface. The trick to overcome it - just put a sheet of any paper you like on top of it's surface and here you go - real paper feeling! Sensetivity slightly decreases this way - but it is pretty easy to twick it for yourself with Krita/Tablet settings. Eric 06 january 2017, 04:35 - Hi David, I read some prior comments (which I should have done before adding mine) and went to the FTP page; when I save as, it only gives me the option to save as a zip file.
I unzipped the file then renamed the folder to deevad-v8-1.bundle, but same thing I click Open then it sees only 3 folders (brushes, META-INF and paintoppresets), none of which contain the file needed to install this bundle pack. Are you using another web browser (Chrome, Firefox)? Maybe issues with IE 11? OP, 12 february 2017, 20:52 - Hi, Thanks:) I don't think installing a brush-kit can affect the brush-outline.
Maybe you use a system with auto-update and a system update changed your graphic driver? Maybe it was so close in the timeline with installing the preset it suddently was related? Just question:) You can always check by going in Krita; Settings Manage resources; and take the brushkit to the 'Inactive Bundles' to see if the problems disapear and if the problem is linked to my brushes. Jennifer 12 february 2017, 21:36 - I think you may be right! I looked at my recently installed programs, and my graphics driver automatically updated the same night I installed the brush kit. Unfortunately, Windows 10 likes to keep automatically updating when I try to rollback the driver, so I haven't been able to test it to see if that's the reason for sure.
But I think it is. When I have more time I'll try to find a way to fix that. Moving your brush kit to 'inactive bundles' doesn't solve the problem.
Thank you for your advice!:). Michael Ivarsson 01 march 2017, 22:06 - not having any luck with the brush bundle installation.
Let us get this straight, is the deevad-v8-1.bundle the only file needed right? And where is the info on where to save or extract the bundle, where does it need to be.somewhere down the line in the answers I could see some preference user folder, I do not see such folder in the krita program folder, neither in my user folders. It looks interesting, I managed to download the zip extract the bundle file withing, but I just extracted to desktop and then located the bundle from there and installed through the manager, I can see the deevad 8.1 bundle name when checking the preset list, but there is no brushes in there. Carro 15 march 2017, 23:50 - Hi!
I have a question, I'm using Krita 3.1.1 and I tried to download this but when I went to download bundle I couldn't find the package in my downloaded files where I put it. I wonder if there is maybe a newer version that I have to update to, and if so, will my old unfinished art work not be able to open in the new version? I don't know if this made any sense, but it would be really nice if you could answer this. Thank you so much! And your art is really beautiful, I appreciate what you do. OP, 16 march 2017, 08:22 - Hi Carro, Don't worry: my brushes version 8.2 are compatible with every Krita 3.x versions.
They can't broke anything. If your Krita works well for 3.1.1 on your system; just paint with it and do not update to 3.1.2. The next version 3.1.3 can be more interesting because it will be a sort of Krita 3 final.
A big 'bug fix release' before Krita jumping to the big change of Krita 4 ( with new text tool, SVG ). The team of Krita put a lot of efforts into getting compatibility across version for the Krita files format (.kra ). Your old unfinished art should be safe!:-). Holo 06 april 2017, 06:29 - Hi there David, I'm a big fan of your hard work in the Open Soruce community. First with the Blender team in the storyboards and art!, then your hard work in MyPaint!
And now with the Krita feedback and brushes!! Tbh you inspire me to do more and more!, and I wonder. If you know about DrawPile? Is an Open Source Paintchat.
That I'm very proud to be part of, we are a young project but with determination and a nice community behind n.n I try very hard to push the community there (I'm in charge of one called RP HUB and we are just over 100 artist there rigth now) if you give it a look, please ask for Holo, I really want to know your opinion about it n.n Have a lovely day. OP, 06 april 2017, 07:52 - Hey, thanks for the friendly feedback.
Of course I know Drawpile:) I tested it last month for the release of the appimage version; that's very cool. I like the project; but I never could try it in network. I found the GUI to do the first connection a bit hard to understand. Somehow, I was expecting something like videogames 'server list' on start; just a list of server with amount of user, and a name for the theme. I even don't know if it's possible to make it this way.
Maybe I can chat on a IRC channel? I guess #drawpile on freenodes? Holo 07 april 2017, 20:32 - Well it's a bit complicated tbh, but the main channels we use to communicate directly and in a friendly way is Facebook and Discord mainly. This is our Facebook group I added my email to this replay form btw just in case.
I told to Calle (the main developer) about your reply yesterday, and he was pretty excited to hear feedback and ideas from you Mr.David! We try to make a nice place in where ppl can join and discover the joy of draw with more ppl n.n I re-discovered my love for draw thanks to DrawPile tbh! It was such a beautiful experience, and I want that more ppl can access to it n.n, even I developed my characters even more through the real-time role playing (amazing experience!). Sorry I tend to speak a lot when I'm excited! Please Mr.David give us a glance n.n. Have a lovely day. OP, 22 january 2018, 10:07 - Hi Joseph, If you begin, just limit yourself to use brush preset you will be able to predict the effect.
It doesn't matter if a brush does square, round, textured, splashy effect; if you are confortable with it and you can predict what will happen with this brush before hitting the canvas, then you'll have a good tool to do progress. If you are not sure what all of that mean, then use a setup like this with my brush kit: - 'Fill Brush' is a good brush to block flat zone - 'Blending' will smooth your flat zone and build the gradients/modeling. 'Digital Sketch Rounded' is a good brush to make more advanced modeling and glazing.

'Rigger' may help to add small details. OP, 30 january 2018, 22:18 - Hi! I like the idea of the pop-up palette; but here I'm often using the alpha/beta version of Krita to report bugs and test things.
Many time, in this version, this part of the software is fragile: it often pop-up with empty presets; or the preset move around. My memory is very visual; and I don't like when I add a preset to this wheel, or remove one to see the rotation changing in the slot.
It's not consistent and it's hard to develop automatism with it. Also, the color selector in middle is a bit little to my taste. So, all in all, I learned to avoid using this tool. I keep dockers around.
I'm really eager to play with python plugins as one in future 4.x to assign presets to keyboard shortcut. I think I'll map all my 1,2,3,4,5.etc. Right now, yes, I rely on a docker with 'brush preset' icon inside it. Jonathan 01 february 2018, 04:25 - Thanks for sharing your point of view! Regarding the lack of trust and confidence you have in this tool, maybe you can report that to the developers. After all, it's a problem if people can't use a tool they made, whatever the reason.
About mapping presets to digit keys, I believe it would be welcomed by many people, and the developers could consider adding this feature with regular shortcuts, instead of using scripts. I think some people may be afraid of coding.
Personally I'm waiting for that too:) Keep up the good work! OP, 01 february 2018, 12:11 - Sure:) I keep around and communicating with dev of Krita since a long time! (2011?) For the pop-up palette, you can use it without any fear if you stick to the stable version; it's often fragile in.beta-versions. and bug-fix sometime takes time to come in beta;-) But that's a price to pay to do beta-testing, and with time I often avoid to use the part I consider fragile or prone to break easily. For the core design of Krita regarding shortcut (for eg. ); many discution happens and it slowly evolves; but it's way more complex than you imagine.
Even developers can't do all what they want and its probably a constrain if some feature needs to happens in the layer of 'python script'. Keep in mind Krita is also tied closely with KDE and Qt, this two offers maintenance of huge part of the code. This position of 'sitting on the shoulder of giant' allows the small Krita team to extend on the top, have less maintenance of the code base but the drawback is adopting some standard. But Krita evolves really well, and collaborate more and more to upstream to adapt it to the needs of the team. OP, 31 january 2018, 10:05 - Off topic comment? But yes, ABR is a proprietary binary file created by Adobe. It means if you open this type of file you see plenty of encoded glyph.

So, it's already a little miracle a developer of Krita found a way to catch little picture into this mess ( a way to import 'brush tips' ). But loading the other parameters is way harder; the settings are changing and would require a dev to buy a Photoshop license only to compare and play the 'guess' and paint long process. It's not worthing it, in my opinion. Artist can recreate the brushes without too much effort.

Adobe is known to create messy in-house binary file format with plenty of revisions, etc.
