Starting today, Corel has introduced the Corel Painter Open Upgrade Program for customers in North America and the United Kingdom. Until August 31, 2005, the Corel Painter IX upgrade policy has been broadened to include any graphics or imaging software package from the following companies: Adobe, Macromedia, ACD Systems, Corel (including Corel Painter Classic, Painter Essentials, and any previous version of Painter), Microsoft, and Apple. For a limited time, Corel Painter IX is available through Corel and participating resellers at the upgrade suggested retail price of $229 -- a savings of $200 off the full suggested retail price of $429. Resellers may sell for less. For more details, please visit www.corel.com/painter/openupgrade.
