• Designer-Info.com - Corel Painter IX 9

  http://www.designer-info.com/Photo/painter.htm
  Summary: Overall this isn’t a breakthrough release like version 8’s major rationalization, but Corel has done just enough to ensure that Painter IX remains the must-have application for those interested in the creative potential of PC-based art.

• Kickstartnews.com: Corel Painter IX

  http://www.kickstartnews.com/reviews/productivity/corel_painter_ix.html
