Opening A Blank Canvas In Core Painter

Corel Painter is a digital painting software that allows users to create custom palettes to quickly access their most frequently used tools. To open a blank palette in Corel Painter, you can create a new custom palette by going to the Select Custom Palette list box and choosing New. You can then add your desired panels and commands to the palette. This could include color-related panels such as Color, Mixer, and Color Set Libraries, or panels with brush-related settings like the Brush Selector panel. By arranging panels and creating custom palettes, users can adapt their design space in Corel Painter to suit their unique needs and improve their workflow.

Arranging panels and palettes

Corel Painter allows you to adapt your design space by rearranging panels and palettes. Panels are single tabbed containers that let you access content libraries, commands, controls, and settings, and they are stored in palettes. You can increase your efficiency by arranging task-related or frequently used panels into palettes. For example, you can display all color-specific panels in one color palette or display panels individually.

To create a custom palette, go to Window > Color Palettes and enable Default Palette or whichever color palette you want to be displayed. You can also create custom palettes to quickly access the brushes, papers, flow maps, media, menu commands, and tools that you use most often. To quickly create a custom palette, press Shift and drag a brush variant from the Brush Selector panel (Window > Brush Selector). With the Create Palette/Add Command dialog box open, perform a task from the following table. You can also add commands from the main menus or panel options to custom palettes.

Items that appear on a custom palette are references (aliases or shortcuts) to the original. This means that if you change the original, the custom panel button will load the newest version. However, if you delete the original, Corel Painter won't be able to find the item to load into the custom palette.

To turn a drawer into a regular palette, click the Palette Drawer toggle button on the drawer header bar, and then click Palette Drawer. When you choose Window Show Panels, only the panels that were open when you chose Hide Panels will be displayed.

Creating custom palettes

Corel Painter allows users to create custom palettes to increase efficiency and quickly access the brushes, papers, flow maps, media, menu commands, and tools that are used most often. To create a custom palette, follow these steps:

• From the "Select Custom Palette" list box, choose "New" to create a new palette. Alternatively, you can select an existing custom palette if you want to modify it.
• With the "Create Palette/Add Command" dialog box open, follow the instructions provided to configure your palette.
• In the dialog box, click "Add," and then click "OK."
• To add items to your custom palette, hold down "Shift" and drag the desired item to the palette. For example, you can add items from the Brush Selector panel or any of the Media panels.
• You can also add commands from the main menus or panel options to your custom palette.
• If you want to use a custom icon for an item in your palette, hold down "Control" on macOS or right-click on Windows, choose "Set Custom Icon," and then locate the desired image.
• Remember that items in your custom palette are references to the originals. If you modify an original item, the custom palette will load the newest version. However, if you delete the original, Corel Painter won't be able to find the item to load into the custom palette.
• You can further customize your workspace by arranging task-related or frequently used panels into palettes. For example, you can display all color-specific panels in one color palette or display panels individually.

By following these steps, you can create and customize palettes in Corel Painter to streamline your workflow and easily access the tools and features you need.

Accessing the Brush Selector panel

Corel Painter allows users to easily adapt their design space to their needs. The software includes interactive panels that are single tabbed containers, allowing users to access content libraries, commands, controls, and settings. These panels are stored in palettes, which can be customized to speed up work and quickly access the most frequently used tools.

The Brush Selector panel is a feature in Corel Painter that allows users to choose a brush library and select a brush from a brush category. It also lets users browse additional brush packs to complement their creative set of brushes. The Brush Selector panel can be accessed by clicking on the Brush Selector button on the Brush Selector bar. This will open the Brush library panel, which displays the content of the currently selected brush library. From here, users can organize and display brushes in various ways, such as creating a new brush library or opening a previously stored one. The Brush Selector panel has two viewing modes: compact and full view. In full view, both the brush categories and variants are displayed.

Users can also create custom palettes that include the Brush Selector panel. This allows for quick access to frequently used brushes, papers, flow maps, media, menu commands, and tools. Items appearing on a custom palette are references or shortcuts to the original, so any changes made to the original will be reflected in the custom palette. However, if the original is deleted, Corel Painter will not be able to find the item to load into the custom palette.

Additionally, users can rearrange panels and palettes to increase efficiency. For example, all color-specific panels can be displayed in one color palette, or panels can be displayed individually. Users can also turn a drawer into a regular palette by clicking the Palette Drawer toggle button on the drawer header bar.

Opening the Palettes docker

Corel Painter makes it easy to adapt your design space to your needs. The interactive panels in Corel Painter are single tabbed containers that let you access content libraries, commands, controls, and settings. Panels are stored in palettes. You can create custom palettes to speed up your work and quickly access the brushes, papers, flow maps, media, menu commands, and tools that you use most often. For example, you can place items from the Brush Selector panel or any of the Media panels in a custom palette. Items that appear on a custom palette are references (aliases or shortcuts) to the original. This means that if you change the original, the custom panel button loads the newest version. You can also add commands from the main menus or panel options to custom palettes.

To open the Palettes docker, go to Window > Dockers > Palettes. Here you see the whole array of color palettes available. If you need to turn on any palettes other than the default palette, this is where you do it. Dockers can be either docked or floating. A docked docker is attached to the edge of the application window, a toolbar, or a palette. A floating docker is not attached to a workspace element. If you open several dockers, they usually appear nested, with only one docker fully displayed. You can quickly display a docker hidden from view by clicking the docker’s tab. You can move dockers, and you can collapse dockers to save screen space.

To turn a drawer into a regular palette, click the Palette Drawer toggle button on the drawer header bar, and then click Palette Drawer. When you choose Window Show Panels, only the panels that were open when you chose Hide Panels are displayed.

Enabling the Default Palette

Corel Painter allows users to adapt their design space to their needs. One way to do this is by rearranging panels and palettes. Panels are single tabbed containers that let you access content libraries, commands, controls, and settings. These panels are stored in palettes.

You can increase your efficiency by arranging task-related or frequently used panels into palettes. For example, you can display all color-specific panels in one color palette or display panels individually.

To enable the default palette, go to Window > Color Palettes and select "Enable Default Palette." You can also access the Palettes docker by going to Window > Color Palettes > Palettes.

You can create custom palettes to speed up your work and quickly access the brushes, papers, flow maps, media, menu commands, and tools that you use most often. For example, you can place items from the Brush Selector panel or any of the Media panels in a custom palette. To create a custom palette, open the Create Palette/Add Command dialog box and perform a task from the provided table. You can also add commands from the main menus or panel options to custom palettes.
