Painter 6 F/x & Design

I am frankly surprised at the bitterness of a few of the previous reviews. I have found this book excellent for me, a novice on Painter 6 (mac). It is true enough that in the first chapter, the CD lacks Mac versions of the "projects." However, the other chapters all work from .tif, .riff or .psd files and are fully supported by Mac. The topics discussed are the things I need to get going with this software.As for the comments regarding the style of one of the book's writers, I can only say that she makes frequent and clever allusions to literature, history and culture. The fact that the previous reviewer does not recognize these references says more about the reviewer than the author.

Better for beginners than the Wow! book

As a new Painter user, I picked up the P6 Wow! book for tips and tutorials, based on my experience with the excellent Photoshop Wow! book. But I found many more tips than tutorials in the Painter Wow! Book, and I needed something to help me learn the program -- closer to a "Classroom in a Book" for Painter. This book has more tutorials/projects than the Wow! book. It also speaks frankly about Painter, its good and bad points, and lets you know where the program is buggy or could be improved. The examples are not as inspiring as Wow!, and the book is entirely in B & W with only a small (maybe 15 pages) color insert, but I think the tutorials and general approach are better for the beginning Painter user.

Informative and Useful

I found this book not only extremely helpful, but also fun to read. Painter, at times, can be a daunting tool. The authors presented some innovative techniques I would never have known about in a consise, clear manner. I found this book to be a refreshing departure from the glut of dry "how-to" books out there. The authors clearly enjoy using this program!

My Painter Bible

This book clearly walked me through the steps necessary to learn Painter. And in contrast to the "Classroom In A Book" series, Painter 6 FX inspires creativity. Although the earlier version of this book (Painter 5 FX) lacked conciseness, this version is much improved. A thorough teaching tool. Beautifully illustrated throughout.
