I cannot open Painter Essentials 8 on my m1 iMac with Monterey. I’m told installation was successful but when I try to open the app I get “Painter Essentials unexpectedly quit”.
I have reinstalled several times. Deleted preferences etc still no go.
one thing I don’t do is allow programme to save to external drive - this is a backup drive
any ideas??

Painter 2022 only supports Catalina or Big Sur via Apple's Rosetta2 X86_64 emulation on Apple M1 devices. No mention of Monterey support. Painter Essentials 8 is also only mentioned to be supported on Catalina or Big Sur and no mention of M1 Mac support, only Intel.

Hi all re Painter essentials 8. I noted it could be downloaded from App Store so I did, and wow it works BUT you must monthly or yearly subscribe! As I’ve already bought it and have a code I thought I could enter it but no way!! It is number 8 but does not say so. Then thought I’ll download Essentials 7 and upgrade, but that won’t open either, so if there’s anyone from Corel just a little bit interested …
Are you certain Corel Painter Essentials 8 is compatible with Monterey?
Save to location is not relevant, internal or external should be inconsequential.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was on the Painter 8 page, not the one you linked, and stated the outdated requirements shown there.
You're welcome.
FWIW, the version of Painters Essentials in the App Store is not the same as the version available online. It's actually listed as version 2.1. The code you have no doubt was for the online version.
Interestingly when you look at it on the Mac it says version8?
That's possible. Many developers however number their App Store version differently. Still the same app or very close.
Yes indeed. Sadly my problem of opening Essential 8 on my iMac is elusive. I did contact support, but no real help there.
