Paintstorm Studio overview

Paintstorm 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.

Wonderful brush engine and overall a good concept. The only problem is when trying to paint on very large images. The program gets sluggish, erratic and either crashed or you have to "force quit". Until this is solved I cannot recommend it.
