 Outraged - Amazon Violating Its Own Policy August 29, 2009

This software is useless. It cannot be register nor activated. Please call Finale Music directly if you do not believe me.
I called Corel about the comment that this software is prohibited to be sold on Amazon.com. I was told that Corel will not register nor activate any academic software sold on Amazon.com by any company. I told them that Amazon.com was selling directly to customer and they said this prohibition includes Amazon.com They said the academic qualifications are not checked (cannot be checked per Amazon regulations) and is sold to anyone which is a violation of Corel agreements.
I am outraged that Amazon.com does allow this activity that is against their Policy and also Amazon.com is violating its own policy.
Such shame.

After having downloaded the full version product from Corel for a month I was totally so sad to not be able to keep it. I was checking out the software here and I found this great item..The Academic version of Painters X. I LOVE IT !!!!!. I couldn't be happier with this software. I was a little hesitant at first because I did not know what I was getting but when it arrived I was soooooo happy that it actually had everything I needed to create wonderful creations, paintings, scrapbook pages, illustrations, etc. I really recommend this for those who can not dish out the full price for this product. You will not be disappointed.
 Too many Bugs for a Stable Release September 21, 2007

I am a Painter fan, but I think one should review the product with some honesty.
Painter's Brush engine is rather unmatched in terms of digital painting and graphics. This is one feature that overrides many of the other industry standard programs when it comes to illustrating and painting with digital applications. Painter's brush tracking also helps when one uses a tablet making it a very powerful application. The multitude of brushes that act like their traditional counterparts is one of the reasons a person could experiment without the fear of running out of paint, wasting paper, or supplies.
New Enhanced Brush Ghosting makes it a lot more easier to see the bearing and direction of your brush, especially making effects and strokes. Divine proportions help you with composition. I even like the fact that scripts even allow you to playback your drawing progress, similar to PortalGraphics Open Canvas. You can even create movies and animations. With the combination of Photoshop this is indeed a powerful program.
However, and granted I don't expect every program to be perfect upon release, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) has some major bugs. Scrollbars will disappear, going into the Brush creator will undock your palettes or mess with settings you previously had. Workspaces weren't able to save. Your brush would disappear at times too.
Now there is a current patch for this software at Corel's site, but if you were new to the program and saw such bad interface errors, wouldn't you be upset, given the cost of the software?
The academic version is a very reasonable price with the errors aside, but I can't honestly give this product 5 stars since you're met with such errors right out of the box.
