Does anyone know if Corel has a forum for Corel Painter X ???  Or maybe someone knows how to answer my question here?? 

I am a newbe to Painter, I cloned a photo and used it to trace, then Painted what I wanted, then I would like to combine the photo with my painted layer to make my final outcome more realistic.  Seems simple enough...

Thanks ~~ Mahogan

 Yes, there are several newsgroups (traditional) for Painter. Check out at news:cnews.corel.com 

yes there is! it's the Corel sponsored site called Painter Factory  http://painterfactory.com

if you have any questions about Painter X or 9 or 8 or 7 etc that's the place. it's designed similar to this site.

 Thanks for the link, just what I was looking for!!

In addition the the Painter Factory link that was already provided and that is a community around Corel Painter, there is also the Essentials Café, a community site for the users of Corel Painter Essentials.

 Good job Gérard! You are really catching up with the times.

Just a silly question: is there a separate forum for Corel Photopaint too?

Yes, there are specific Corel PHOTO-PAINT Forums on CorelDRAW.com:

Hehehe

Yes it was a silly question, indeed. Sorry.

Actually I've ment if there is a separate Comunity site, but I assume that PP belongs to the Corel Graphics Suite, somehow...

Seriously, I've been wondering why here in this Community galleries are only a few Photopaint works - the weight of vector arts is much higher! That was the reason why I have assumed if there is a separate "hidden" community with more PP artworks somewhere...
