Using the Property Bar
The property bar in Corel Painter is
context-sensitive — it changes
according to the tool you are using.
You can access settings and options for
each tool, and you can change them
according to your preferences using
the boxes or pop-up sliders. Tool
settings are retained when you switch
from one tool to another. You can also
use the property bar to restore the
default settings of the selected tool.
The property bar is docked
horizontally to the menu bar by
default. You can move the property bar
anywhere in the document window,
dock it under the menu bar again, or
close it.
