United StatesPaintstorm Studio is created for professional digital painting. And a major role in this program play the brushes. We did our best so that you can easily and quickly adjust the brushes suitable for your painting style.
Anyone who has ever painted knows it's hard to overestimate the painting tool and the importance of all the seemingly insignificant details. We tried not to miss any of them. Our goal was to create an intuitive, simple-to-use but at the same time functionally powerful tool that brings the process of digital painting to a new level, making it as comfortable as possible.

United StatesThe most powerful painter I've used
I've used photoshop, painter, procreate, all great painting apps, but each cannot be customized as deeply as Paintstorm. This is the only app that allows me to scale the text of the UI for my 4k screen. I'm increasingly farsighted now, and it's been frustrating that virtually no other apps make the consideration to adjust your UI font sizes for legibility as screen dpi gets more concentrated. This is the only app that allows me to use a graph function to define EVERY SINGLE painting parameter availalable. Wacom's Art Pen barrel rotation is available for any parameter. I can twist for tip shape orientation, color, opacity, sequential stamp shape, anything. I find it especially intuitive to use tilt for size, and this shines when using Apple Pencil thru iPad Pro. Wacom has a fatter tip, so it doesn't tilt so much, and that presents a problem for painter/photoshop... not so much with Paintstorm, because the graph function can be tweaked to be optimised for your tilt limitations. Paintstorm Pro is the only app I have been able to a variable gradient to my brush... meaning I can adjust the orientation of the gradient, as I paint on the fly, using any parameter. Similar to Procreate, the blending is beautifully rendered, with none of the muddy washing common on older paint programs. The graph functions allow enormous variability that make a lot more sense than so called particle brushes in painter (tho painter does have a flashy sound influenced parameter all you DJ's should check out). Painstorm offers real double brushes, deep texture tools, blending modes on brush strokes and or layers, mask options, GPU accelleration, etc etc etc! It really has all these options, everything described in the app store is accurate. Plus, seamless tile painting, kaleidescope, symetry, even brush stroke recorder that you can replay with larger scale brushes to make a video and higher resolution painting whaaaaat? But this is not complicated. It is a complex tool suite. You make something complicated by unneccesarily requiring dependencies that aren't interoperable; but you make something complex by making a system that expands upon itself organically. The difference is profound. You don't need specialized watercolor papers for a handful of quirky rendering brushes. Not when you can fully expand upon the qualities of a texture built into any brush, and follow automatically using the double brush as a blender. Some complain that there is lag- this is a common problem when the throttle limitation is removed from the driver. You have every option available. Of course you are going to challenge your computer's engine. How you drive, wrecklessly or with finesse, is up to you. The other cause is simply the smoothing function, which trails your brush on a smoother path behind, rather than on top of your pointer. Expect a learning curve, and expect resistence from old school fan boys. They might still believe that a finger is better than a stylus. If you know that you want more than just finger painting pressure... you want tilt, barrel rotation, and every parameter you deserve, then you know you want this app. And just look at that price... it's ridiculous to not buy it... even if just to try to ride the bull that you maybe can't conquer. Put some time into it and you'll find it completely worthwhile. I did.
United StatesEXCELLENT!
I LOVE IT. It has great brushes. the flow is smooth. It has a simple interface. I have read some people say that the interface is too hard to understand. This is the thing. EVERYONE has a different interface. why should everybody have the same space? I've read that ther is no room because the panels take up too much space. When you fisrt open it up, a lot of the panels are open. But is you drag the panals to the left, with the "blue" line dragged between the panels, it makes more space, JUST LIKE PS, Painter and all othe apps. Guys out there, before you make comments, mess around with the app first. Trust me. I have a design company and would not say any of this if it was wrong. Also, drag you moouse to the edge of the panels to get the double arrow. Then hold the mouse and drag to the left or right depending on the side you are on, to make the panel thinner. This makes even more room. Once you get the screen the way you want it, go to the upper left of the screen and click 'OTHER'. Go down to "Custom UI". Replace it with what you want it to be named, followed by .pstui: example..Art.pstui... Hoped this helped some of you! Lets Art! PS, no I dont work for the company. Unless they have a job for me! lol..Contact me.. Weapons of choice: Xp-Pen 24 Pro Paintstorm Studio Painter 2020 PS Procreate Zbrush Sketchbook Pro Affinity Designer in that Order
United StatesPowerful but way too complicated
I love all the brushes and I made two paintings with this program that I liked and the renders just like paint! But even after that I felt I was still grappling with the interface which feels buggy and way to elaborate. I think this program suffers from a overly complicated interface. Every time I use it I need to relearn it. The controls on the screen are way too small and even though its nice and customizable I would rather it be simple and much less customizable so that the controls can stay out of the way. There are some other shortcomings. I could not find rulers and although this program works with photoshop files, some of the basic editing aspects of photoshop are left out of this program, so it is definitely a painting program rather than an editing program. It runs fine but I was aware that my computer was working on overdrive to run it. Not sure if others have had this issue or not. Overall Paintstorm has some really nice features but is not the right tool for me.
United StatesGreat App
I never write reviews so this should hopefully help you. I have used Adobe, Corel, Autodesk, and many other programs for drawing, animation, etc. I was looking for something that would be an easy, yet powerful program to use on my Wacom tablet so i can make so really cool images for my lectures (medical). This program was easy to use, has lots of options, is very reasonable priced, and was totally fun to use. I like how I could adjust almost everything on the fly to get the effect I wanted. Congrats on a well thought out program.
United StatesBest Art Brush App!
Tried many other apps and this one Is Number 1…great response when handling brushes and the designer continues to upgrade the options and they are fantastic…I totally love this app!
United StatesI love It
