Paintstorm Studio keeps the editing tools organized by purpose: tools, tools options, brush options, layer, color wheel, navigator, graphs presets, mixer, brushes, reference, script, color swatches or workspace.

Naturally, each of the included tools comes with its own customization options, so you get to adjust the brushes blending mode, size, opacity, transparency, spacing, and so on.

The developers provide an online Help documentation that includes details about the available tools, brush options, or frequently used hotkeys, but you can also decide to start exploring on your own to discover what you can do.

Manipulate photos to give them interesting effects or start digital projects from scratch

Within the Paintstorm Studio working space, you can choose to begin drawing on a clean sheet, or you can import image files as your starting point. The digital studio allows you to resize both the canvas and the image, and you can also modify the color balance and brightness, the hue and saturation.

At the same time, Paintstorm Studio offers you the possibility to work with masks and layers, which means that you can get quite inventive and create beautiful effects. The editor also features blur and sharpen filters.

Worth mentioning is that Paintstorm Studio comes with a script function that records your actions and is able to reproduce them anytime you like. The recorded scripts can be saved and used in later projects with minimal effort.

Comprehensive digital drawing solution designed to provide a pleasant workspace

Bottom line, Paintstorm Studio offers you the possibility to experiment with digital painting with the help of readily accessible tools. The studio does not feature an extensive documentation, but you can go online to learn the lay of the land.

Given the modular nature of the Paintstorm Studio’s interface, you get to rearranged all the available tools panels any way you like, which means that you have the power to create a working space that meets your need in full.
