I really liked its 2D featureset and its 3D was pretty good as well but I was less interested in that aspect. On the affordability scale this simply can't be beat.

Have you enjoyed your Huion and Painter? I sometimes use my HS610 when I'm using my main gaming laptop or am traveling with it or only have my android phone. I really, really enjoy it. I mainly use Painter with my convertible work laptop, however, a Lenovo Yoga 730 and my wife's Flex 14. Both have pen support and its wonderful using Painter to illustrate directly on screen. Painter is definitely my favorite of the many painting apps on Windows.

A very good digital painter on the web with excellent tutorials, custom brushes, etc, etc is Aaron Rutten. His Corel tutorials are uniformly excellent and very in-depth... when he has a good sale (look for 2020 tutorials to be highly discounted when his 2021 tutorial gets released soon) you can pick it up well under a hundred or so and that gives access to his entire collection of previous tutorials (Corel, Photoshop, etc), tons and tons of custom brushes, software, etc. Worth a look if anyone wants to learn or hone their skills in digital painting or illustration.

For me on a Mac that means the retina display support is non-existent and the application looks terrible and hard to read on my 27" iMac. Really inexcusable on a modern app IMHO.

This year the Painter 2020 upgrade is well worth it and the new CorelCAD is as well. I'll sell, trade or give away to family or friends the Paint Shop Pro 2020, AfterShot and ParticleShop keys I already have licenses for that were not upgraded this year. Most of the brush packs are new this year so will keep them as well.

By the way: if anyone already owns a pen enabled convertible laptop (recommended), tablet or graphics tablet I'd very highly recommend Corel Painter... it is beyond excellent. One can currently pick up a very inexpensive but very good quality and featured graphics tablet from Huion, the 1060Plus, for $65.99 shipped after coupon clip (no taxes) from Amazon.ca:

Elrondolio wrote: ↑ Yes, I've installed it but no, there are no "offers" in this app like other Corel apps (landing screen after startup, no upgrade option in help menu, etc). The UI hasn't been updated in years, clearly... no wonder "retina"displays (or any high-res display regardless of marketing name) doesn't scale the UI properly. It still looks supremely powerful feature wise but good heavens... upgrade the UI to something even close to resembling this decade already. Rant off... it looks like the upgrade path is via Corels website and that currently sits at $259 CAD for 2020.

Most of the other apps in the humble package have larger discounts via the app itself (ie: Painter 2021 is being offered for $174 in app, $269 via website and so on). CorelCAD does not, unfortunately.

My 6yr old is a pure creative (my opposite) and I need something to get him going.

I found a hiking but 300bucks was overkill.

Do I need these software to go with the 65$ tablet?

If Corel is aware of such an issue, as they clearly must be if you're saying that they fixed it for 2020, and yet they're prepared to leave it unfixed in the 2019 release, what does that say about them? (I'm not talking about new features, I wouldn't expect to get those for free for eternity. Basic flaws that impact functionality are different.
