From PM Painter 2.0 review at ZDNet:

"From the Picture Man Collection of image-editing apps comes Painter. This well-done 32-bit graphics tool lets you compose new images, retouch existing ones, and publish your work to the Web. Using a clean, intuitive interface, you can access 16 brush types (plus custom brushes), 15 canvas types, several shape tools, 14 filters, and 28 special effects. The program includes support for pressure-sensitive tablets and plug-ins. You'll also find professional and smart color tuning; full .jpg, .png, and .gif support; interactive optimization and saving of Web graphics formats; and a 3D buttonize filter with flat or rounded borders and lighting direction control. Other functions include three interface levels, multilevel redo, image thumbnail browsing, batch format conversion, and screen capture directly to an .avi file or an image sequence. If you're looking for a loaded image editor, try out this fully functional evaluation edition of Painter for free for 15 days"
