Corel Paint It Review and Giveaway CLOSED Winner Inside.

I love playing with my photos, and recently I got to do a review on a program called Paint It by Corel. I often find myself sitting here playing with different programs and just turning pictures of my family into works of art. It is a great boredom killer.

After I installed Paint It onto my computer I got a bit confused. I opened it up, opened a picture up and then I was lost. To be honest I have no idea why I was lost, because once I found out I was going to do a review I went to the Corel website, and I watched the videos. Yes, Corel has some great tutorials that will help walk you through different things while working with this program.

However, I sometimes have those moments, and I started messing the the paint brushes and checking out the different things I could do with brushes on my photos. After messing with that for a bit I remembered I had to hit the play on the photo to get it to paint.

Gillian and I sat here watching the bunnies be painted. It was pretty neat being able to watch the different brushes and the paints being used. I wanted to check out a picture of Gillian with one of her bunnies, and it turned out pretty good considering it was done by me on the computer. It sometimes amazes me how far technology has improved over the years.

I was starting to like this and getting the hang and groove of things. I pulled out a old picture of me when I was about my daughters age and played with that some.

I sat here playing with Paint It for several hours, trying different pictures with different paint styles. I am very glad I was able to review the Corel Paint It program it will be a great addition to all my other photo programs I work with. I love making calendars so I will be doing a new twist on the Calendar I make this coming year.
