Painter 11 & Photoshop and a lonely CC3

[Ascension]

Honestly, I had never heard of Painter until you mentioned it. It looks like something worth getting if you're pretty comfortable with natural media. As far as making symbols for CC3, I've always wanted to try my hand at it but I just don't have the time for the next few weeks -- not sure that my style would easily lend itself to it either.

There is a Painter tutorial around here somewhere, so I know that someone uses it. I don't recall who, though.

As for interfacing between Photoshop and CC3, I go the other direction. I lay out city maps in City Designer, then bring them into Photoshop for prettifying.

I've been looking into Painter, but I haven't taken the jump into really learning how to use it yet.
