MyPaint, alternative Linux à Corel Painter
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
MyPaint is a strong free alternative for digital painters who prioritize realistic brush dynamics and tablet interaction. It handles oil, watercolor, and ink simulations well through its extensive brush engine. However, it lacks the depth of Corel Painter’s professional workflow tools. If you rely on complex non-destructive editing, advanced layer management, or specific print-ready color profiles, you will find MyPaint limiting. It suits hobbyists and illustrators who value a distraction-free canvas and open-source flexibility over enterprise-grade feature sets. For heavy commercial print work, consider keeping Corel or using GIMP for post-processing.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Corel Painter
MyPaint does not natively open Corel Painter’s proprietary .PSB or .PSD files directly as editable projects. You can import raster images (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) from Corel Painter, but layer structure and specific brush settings will not transfer. For best results, export your work from Corel Painter as a high-resolution PNG or TIFF with flattened layers before opening it in MyPaint for further raster editing.
Passer de Corel Painter à MyPaint, étape par étape
- Install MyPaint via your distribution’s package manager or Flathub
- Connect your graphics tablet and configure pressure sensitivity in system settings
- Export your current Corel Painter projects as high-resolution PNG or TIFF files
- Open the exported images in MyPaint to continue working on the raster layers
- Explore the pre-installed brush packs to find equivalents for your favorite Corel brushes
- Save your work in OpenRaster format to preserve layer information within MyPaint

Can I use MyPaint for professional print work?
Yes, but you must manage color profiles and resolution carefully. MyPaint exports standard raster formats, so you should verify color accuracy and DPI settings before sending files to a printer. It is less robust than Corel Painter for complex print workflows.
Does MyPaint support 64-bit color depth?
MyPaint primarily works with 32-bit color depth. If your workflow requires 64-bit color for high-end print or scientific applications, MyPaint may not be sufficient. Check specific requirements for your output medium.
How do I customize brushes in MyPaint?
You can adjust hundreds of parameters for each brush, including dynamics, texture, and size. The interface allows real-time tweaking, and you can save your configurations as new brushes for reuse in future projects.
