Corel Painter 8 trial

What the hell is up with this program... when I open it and load a photo I get the problem below and all the bruses and some of the graphics are the same... do I need to configure it somehow???

 

Stand to attention Trooper..

I couldn't see your "problem below", but I wonder if your problem is to do with setting your monitor display settings to 24 bit True Color. I remember when I trialed P8 I got this problem, the screen went all blue and all the colours were wrong. If that's your problem, try that. It's quite common I read it all the time on the Painter email lists.

Personally, I loathed P8, don't agree with the "Lets be like PhotoShop" mentality (not that there's anything wrong with PS). I still use P7 and now I know all its foibles we are both very much in love, thankyou.

At ease.
