Shapes was the name of ColorStudio’s vector tools that were later incorporated into Painter, and the writing I did for the Shapes manual was included in the Painter manual. I got the gig to write the first Painter manual because Painter inventors Mark Zimmer and Tom Hedges liked the job I did writing the Shapes manual for ColorStudio, an image-editing program they wrote prior to Painter and before the arrival of Photoshop. Instead, I concentrated on being a writer. But the message at my house was clear: art was something my mother did, not me, so I mostly dabbled with art and never finished paintings.
My mother was an artist, and I drew and painted ever since I could remember, and even minored in art in college, so I had art knowledge and painting experience. The answer is, I got some help from the programmers and figured out a lot about the software on my own by painting with it at a time when I didn’t consider myself to be an artist.īefore writing the Painter manual, I had been a reporter and an editor for many years for newspapers and magazines.

I then wrote the manuals for the next several versions, in addition to the Companion, the first book of Painter tutorials. I wrote the first Painter manual and I was at Boston Macworld demo'ing the new software. It debuted at Boston Macworld August 6-9, 1991. Editor's Note: August 2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the debut of Corel Painter, or Fractal Design Painter, as it was called back then.
