Welcome to the new Painter Canvas! My name is Rob MacDonald, and I am happy to introduce myself to you as the Product Manager for Corel® Painter™ and Corel Painter Essentials. I look forward to speaking with many of you to hear more about what you love about the Painter product family and how you're using Painter. Send all of your feedback, comments and questions on the Painter Canvas newsletter to enewsfeedback@corel.com.
I know you've been waiting some time for the newest Painter Canvas newsletter—for this, you have my sincerest apologies. During the past few months, we've taken the time to think more about this newsletter, what it means to us and, more importantly, what it means to you, our readers. As a result, you'll find that the new Painter Canvas, sent to you on a quarterly basis, will include more of what you love—tutorials from our Painter Masters, tips on how to use Painter more effectively, news from the Painter team at Corel and a few words from me.
In addition, between newsletters I encourage you to check out our new community sites—The Painter Factory and Painter Essentials Café. These sites are a great way to interact with one another to share ideas, figure out solutions to some challenges and get a sense of how people worldwide are using Painter and Painter Essentials.
Thanks to all of you for your continued passion and commitment to the Corel Painter product family. Enjoy the Painter Canvas!
