Painter是数码素描与绘画工具的终极选择，是一款极其优秀的仿自然绘画软件，拥有全面和逼真的仿自然画笔。它是专门为渴望追求自由创意及需要数码工具来仿真传统绘画的数码艺术家、插画画家及摄影师而开发的。它能通过数码手段复制自然媒质(Natural Media)效果，是同级产品中的佼佼者，获得业界的一致推崇。

Painter，意为“画家”，加拿大著名的图形图像类软件开发公司——Corel公司用Painter为其图形处理软件命名真可谓是名至实归。与Photoshop相似，Painter也是基于栅格图像处理的图形处理软件。

身手不凡的Painter，它在我国的名声不够大，主要原因是没有美术的功底根本不能驾驭它。在Painter还只有2.0版的时候，美术功底较强的初中学生曾如获至宝地用它完成了不少杰作。

把Painter定为艺术级绘画软件比较适合，其中上百种绘画工具使其它的大师级软件黯然失色，其中的多种笔刷提供了重新定义样式、墨水流量、压感以及纸张的穿透能力，Painter为数字绘画提高到一个新的高度。Painter中的滤镜主要针对纹理与光照，因它采用了一种天然媒体专利技术，处理中国画风格的特色而被国内的电脑美术者称为“梵高”，它可以使作品达到一种特殊的大写意。因没有中文版，在我国中小学电脑美术教学中还很少使用。 Fractal Design公司还推出了一款面向业余美术爱好者的绘画软件Dabbler,在打开的一个个抽屉里面放着各种画笔和材质，得到小朋友的喜爱。在美国Dabbler早已成为儿童美术启蒙教育的工具，在我国它普及程度大于Painter。
