Paintstorm Studio 2.21 – Bringing digital painting to a new level.

March 17, 2018

Paintstorm Studio is created for professional digital painting. And a major role in this program play the brushes. We did our best so that you can easily and quickly adjust the brushes suitable for your painting style.

Anyone who has ever painted knows it’s hard to overestimate the painting tool and the importance of all the seemingly insignificant details. We tried not to miss any of them. Our goal was to create an intuitive, simple-to-use but at the same time functionally powerful tool that brings the process of digital painting to a new level, making it as comfortable as possible.

What’s New

Version 2.21:

Our team has invented a brand new stabilization system. The stroke is now much smoother. We have added a lot of additional stabilization settings.
General stabilization settings can be found in File-> Options-> Stabilizer Global Settings. Also you can customize each brush separately by clicking the corresponding button next to the "Stabilization"slider in the Brush panel.
We made our best to boost your performance, speed and stability in averagely 4 times by enabling the support of multi-core processors. (File-> Options->Perfomance-> Use multicores) (Default enabled).
The actual increase will depend on the number of cores and will be better felt with the following functions:Image resize, Free transform, Color Balance, Hue and saturation, Gradient tool, Smart Color Correction, Layer Move.
Keep your painting progress always safe! Now all the documents are saved and autosaved in the background.
if not applicable, saving automatically switches to the normal mode. "Save As" works as usual.
Adjust the rigidity of the brush with a new slider. Select either the "Graph" or the "Slider" mode for each particular brush by clicking the preview button of the brush shape.
For most hard brushes we recommend to switch to "Slider" mode as it is more accurate and gives a smoother and more beautiful stroke edge.
"Image Resize" and "Hue and saturation"improved.
"Progress bar" for Save / Load file, Free transform, Image resize added
"Select lasso"performance increased
