Mostly useless for graphic design, its more focused towards painting and will require a graphics tablet (such as a wacom or trust brand one).
One or another version was also bundled BTA some month back.
Still, for the price it may do you. You way also want to check out ArtRage: https://artrage.com/ - which foten comes packaged with Wacom tablets.

i dont know about painter essentials 6 but i use painter x3 and photoshop. the essentials are usually streamlined versions with a few missing features, like ability to make your own brushes. its hard to compare painter to photoshop because the workflow is mostly different in that the brushes and layers are almost all used in an opaque manner (more how you paint with traditional paint) and then mixed with blenders, where as in photoshop there is a lot of transparency and overlaying. i would not say either is better but they are just different. if you are unsure download the 30 day trial from the corel website

If you're looking for something similar to Photoshop, you might want to take a look at Affinity Photo. Costs more than Humble Bundle, but less than Adobe. Free trial.

painter (it's the essential version not the full) if you have a lot of experience with real painting/drawing you can be interested in it. It's very powerfull at trying to reproduce the interaction between varied paitning/drawing methode (ink, paint, aquarelle, pencil, felt pen, etc..) and different drawing support medium and it has a powerfull dynamic brushes system.

if you want something more like photoshop, look at Corel PHOTO-PAINT (problem it's part of the Corel DRAW graphics suite - I don't think you can buy a standalone version - so won't come cheap) with the photoshop layout.

other solutions:

artrage ( https://www.artrage.com/ )

rebelle 2 (http://www.escapemotions.com/products/rebelle/index.php)

sketchbook (https://www.sketchbook.com/ problem it's yearly subscription)

Krita ( https://krita.org/en/ ) free& open source (support most gimp plugins, or photoshop brushes) good solution, if you don't use extensively fonts, you should really try it (it's free ;) ) the font support is very unfriendly and kinda awfull. But for the rest does a good job.

Thank you, I was desperately searching for a sub containing all 4!

Really. I thought it was something "out of schedule" too at first because it was an hours early for me but then it was pointed out to me it's already Daylight Saving Time in the US.

Welcome to the club

We should print T-shirts or something :D

One of them can be used as fertiliser, the other is just a useless pile of poo.

One of them can be washed away after a good shower, the other will stain your soul forever and remain in your purchase history.
