You can't find a brush in Painter that you like? :o

Make your own, then! It's so much more convenient than trying to adapt to what the program presets have.

It's mainly that I can't get used to the weird rasterization in Painter. Everything looks HORRIBLY pixelated to me. Also, even when I'm working with a huge file size, it comes out too messy...I can't seem to get a lot of detail in, and if I size the brushes down, they become impossible to use. The brushes all behave like traditional media, for the most part, but not in a way I understand. I also feel a big loss of control with the opacity. Turning the opacity of a brush down doesn't seem to do anything, and it seems like it's either 100% opacity or none at all, no matter how softly I press.

It's...kinda frustrating :< But I'm determined to get better at it.

It's definitely an adjustment from Photoshop.

For me, the Oils (not the Artists' Oils) brushes with a few modifications worked well. You might want to try Artists' Oils; I know the opacity is affected there if you adjust it. (At least it worked that way in 9, I'm not sure about 10.

I've been using regular oils, artists oils are a little glazey for me, but I can try adjusting the brushes. I'm so scared of screwing them up and not being able to get the defaults back >.> I definitely think the brushes are easier to deal with in PS...
