The long awaited Painter update for Mac is up.

Keep in mind it is not a "truly" 64 bit update.
From my understanding it's using all available ram to minimize disc caching, but the program core is still 32-bit based
(for example, I still can not use 750 px large airbrushes when using computed circular brush type. I believe windows users can get them given a 64 bit system and enough ram.)

It is a good update, though.
Two years since release and they fixed constant crashing that painter 12 was notorious for, and cleaned some smaller bugs here and there (broken f keys, gel layer mode eraser bug, etc.)

Yeah, sorry i forgot to mention. I haven't given it a through run yet. But many are reporting improvements in stability.

Ok, so far so good. There are a few bug fixes and some performance and stability improvements. However:

I no longer seem to be able to click on a layer to rename it. I don't know if it's just me or that functionality was removed.

Also for the "love of gawd", any one know what setting to set multicore at so my Macbookpro's fan doesn't sound like a jet engine? 2 seems to be fine but it still kicks in when i'm shading with the side of the pencil. 3 and above and it sounds like i'm about to take flight.

Layer naming works for me as normal. As for the number of cores, out of four physical cores I use only one. No performance issues and no jet engines.
