Enhanced Adobe® Photoshop® Support
Moving between Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter IX is simple. Files saved to the Adobe Photoshop (PSD) file format open in Corel Painter IX, with layer masks, alpha channels and layer sets (layer groups) maintained.
Layer behavior in Corel Painter IX is very similar to layer behavior in Adobe Photoshop. New layers are added above the selected layer, layers with different merge modes are collapsible, and it is now possible to hide or display multiple layers by simply clicking and dragging. In addition, Corel Painter IX supports Adobe Photoshop plug-ins for Mac® OS X.
Enhanced Wacom® Support
Corel Painter IX features support for Wacom's newest pen tablet model—Wacom® Intuos®3—and the entire Wacom tablet product line. Wacom Intuos3 has touch strips that can be configured to control brush size, zooming and many other functions, eliminating the need for a keyboard while painting. In addition, tablet keys can be used as modifier keys, such as Command, Option, Shift or Spacebar on a Mac; or Ctrl, Alt, Shift or Spacebar on a PC.
Enhanced Color Management
Corel Painter IX includes an enhanced Color Management System that ensures accurate color reproduction when images are printed. Supporting industry-standard ICC4.0 profiles, Corel Painter IX Color Management enables color matching between on-screen and printed colors. A color-management tutorial helps you configure your system for optimal color reproduction.

- Support for Mac OS X Adobe Photoshop plug-ins
- Improved function inlining and memory usage
