Do you want to be a Painter Beta Tester?

Hello all...

 

As the question has been posed both here and on other forums "When is the next version of Painter coming?

 

And as you may have seen elsewhere, Painter 11 is in the works, and we are now ready to open up the call for Beta Testers for this new version.

 

So if you would like to get in on testing the new version of Painter before it hits the streets, this is your chance to apply to the beta program and have your chance to have a kick at the tires and help us make the best version of Painter yet.

 

 

Who are we looking for?

 

Really we are looking for all types of users of Painter, everyone from casual users that use it for fun to full-on pros that are in there all day, from sketchers and painters, to designers and illustrators, to photo manipulators and everything in between. We are looking for folks that would be comfortable installing pre-release software on their system, being able to spend some time playing with it, and if they find issues with it, reporting those issues to us through a web portal, reviewing issues logged by other users to verify the issues.

 

 

So if you think this sounds like you, you can apply to be a beta tester of Painter 11.

 

The on-line application is located here: http://tinyurl.com/5fkhg2

 

Here are some quick instructions to guide you through it, if needed.

     1 - Read the “Pre-Release Evaluation Testing Agreement”, located on the “Licensing Agreement” tab.

     2 - Select the “I accept..” radio button, located at the bottom of this page in order to continue with the application process.

     3 - Answer questions contained on the remaining three tabs:

                  Part 1: About You

                  Part 2: Computer Information

                  Part 3: Contact Information

Note that mandatory questions contain red text.

     4 - Save your application by clicking on the “Save” button located on the upper left hand side.  If you receive an “Error” when saving, please return to your application to ensure all mandatory fields have been completed.

 

The Beta application will be live until December 5th 2008, and only successful candidates will be notified shortly thereafter.

 

 

Cheers

 

steve

Steve = I tried to fill out a Beta Tester form but I use Firefox and Safari and I got a message saying the form only supported IE and Netscape?

Wasn't sure if the thing I filled out worked.

Since I teach Painter I'd be interested in seeing the new version as I'm sure we'll want to upgrade to it.

Steve, I  was going to tell you exactly what Steward pointed out.

I am not sure if the thing worked out (I´m on a Mac, Firefox, Safari)

Argh.

You've both got me worried now. I think I filled everything out ok on my mac. I kinda ignored the pop-up...

Eeeek!

Hi, I filled the form too, as a teacher and hard user, I'd like to try the new beta on Leopard fixing some X.I troubles

Hope the form works.

Cheers

Sorry for the delayed response.... got a couple things going on....  ;)

it's odd that it does not seem to work for many of you, as I tested out the application from my own Mac... using Safari and Firefox and it worked fine....

I will check the applications to see whose got through.. sometimes i think the application does go through even though it responds badly....

Thank you for the feedback, Steve. :)

I guess you must have much work right now.

Thanks. I think it did work using Firefox and 10.5... but doubt is setting in.

Awww, man, I noticed this said only till December 6th, does that mean no more people? I'd really like to beta test the product since I use it for several hours a day.

Obviously I missed the boat completely on this one.  Or rather not so much missed the boat as wasn't anywhere near the town with the jetty in it when the boat left.

However, I'm more than willing to put myself on any list of potential testers for the next version (12) in about a year, I guess.  I use Painter a lot, and despite employing other software , always end up falling back on it in a pinch.
