Can Photoshop match Painter (5 specific features)??

[GlennGould]

I need to know whether Photoshop can match Painter in the following areas:

Cloner brushes (and making your own cloner brushes)
Painting with patterns using cloner brushes
Paper Textures (especially the "Apply Paper Texture" feature)
Image Hose and nozzles

I'm preparing my first Computer Graphics lecture, thanks in advance!

Painter 5 and Photoshop are not the same kind of programs.

While Photoshop can do some of the things that you mention Painter as I remember is an art program designed to create graphics that look like they were generated using natural materials like water colors, colored pencils etc.

It allows you to simulate various paper surfaces and paint qualities. Photoshop on the other hand, while you can create images from scratch, is intended for the manipulation of photography or other types of existing images.

I don't think that these programs are intended for the same purpose.
