It explains the basics of setting up, understanding, customizing, and applying Painter to create original works, paintings, generating painterly animations, manipulating and transforming photographic images, and constructing evocative photo-collage. The projects include advanced techniques and creative strategies.
The book gives visual artists-digital designers, multimedia artists, photographers, illustrators, animators, and graphic artists-the explanations they need in order to maximize the sophisticated, creative Painter tool. The book teaches the artist how to transfer traditional art skills and techniques to the computer.

 It's not what it is supposed to be ( awertheim3 )
I ordered this book because the title promised to show me some creative ideas of how painter can be used. I was hoping to find a book that would illustrate a lot of different ways to use Painter.
Instead, I mostly found the authors pretty mediocre to bad paintings of people done from photos, in which you could always recognize the photo behind it. There is nothing creative about manipulating a photo with painter so that it looks more or less like a painting. Flipping through this book I was totally turned off by his so called "art". I didn't read much of it as the images didn't inspire me to want to know more. Just returned it and got "The Painter IX Wow Book". Way better!

 "Paintings" no art
The book goes in detail through the different options available, which is OK.
What I think is not good are the sample "works of art". Sorry to say, but mostly the original photographs are more beautiful than the "art" created based on them. They are just smudged and distorted versions of the photographs. This makes it less interesting to read.Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artists Handbook

 excellent ( creativethreads )
This book is incredible with much information and a bonus cd with extra brushes. After reading it I have signed up for Jermey's Creative Art Class in San Francisco. Leaving in a week and am very excited to get to do this in a class enviroment.

for beginers and...
First of all, this is aimed at beginers and non-artists--that is, those who don't think of themselves as such. Fair enough, however, the approach for most of the book is to employ the technique of "painting over" a photograph in Painter. Not a bad technique, but just be warned that this isn't one of those book with amazing original compositions and step by stop guides on how they were created.
That said, I think this is a good place to get many of the basics of the program nailed down. And as with all complex graphics programs, the best way is to start out with the basics and then experiment. No one book can really even begin cover the range of techniques and tricks that are possible.
