Setting Channel Attributes
Each channel has a set of display
attributes that can make it easier to
use and help you distinguish it from
the other channels.
These attributes do not affect the
function of the channel; they affect
only how the channel displays as you
work on it.
Corel Painter names new channels
incrementally: Alpha 1, Alpha 2, and
so on. Renaming a channel makes it
easier to work with, especially if you
have several in the document. You can
choose the channel you want
immediately if you’ve given it a
descriptive name.
To set channel attributes:
1 On the Channels palette, choose a
channel from the list.
2 Do one of the following:
• Click the palette menu arrow,
and choose Channel Attributes.
• Double-click the channel name
in the list.
