I had a copy of painter10 ages ago, but sold it as I copuldnt get used to it.

but I am really wanting somehting more painterly, so Im considering getting a copy.  but I always had trouble with the layers system in painter, could never get it to work properly, so before I buy a copy can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on the subject?

thanks

Strange, because it's very similar to Photoshop's (you use PS, yes?). A few of the commands are different but it works the same way. I'll try and look out some tutorials but the problem with Painter is that due to its more painterly workflow there are usually less techniques and effects to play with and consequently, it appears, fewer good tutorials.

it is the drying of layers I need to get right I think.
