Cool Paint Pro Image Editing Editor's Review

'Cool Paint' is an interesting painting and editing software. In order to understand all its features, I suggest you read the help file. The program offers you 40 painting tools and 1000 picture materials according to the producer. You can work in layers, when editing a picture. When I first started the program, judging by its user interface, I thought that this is a program for kids. However, I've seen that this program is very complex. You can easily edit your pictures with professional processing techniques such as color adjustments, layer modification, darkroom processing. It supports graphic formats like GIF, JPG, JPEG, PCX, PNG, PSD, TIF, FLY, TGA, etc.

This program works great with pressure-sensitive tablets. When you enter the program, you notice that an audio file is played. It took me several minutes to find out how I could stop that sound, because it was rather annoying. After that, I started testing the program. It is not a professional tool, but it can be used for editing your pictures. If you think that it looks childish, I'm sure that your kids will enjoy it. Especially because the program has an interesting mouse-over sound and several animations available.

Pluses: It's easy to work with it.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: Looks like it is intended for play more than for a professional use. It's worth trying this program.
