Corel Painter 253
Color
Color creates a new color by
combining the luminance of the
image color with the hue and
saturation of the layer color.
Luminosity
Luminosity creates a new color from
the hue and saturation of the image
color and the luminance of the layer
color. This is the opposite of Color.
GelCover
The GelCover method uses a
combination of the Default method
and the Gel method. The edges of the
layer’s content tint the underlying
image with their color (the Gel
method). The rest of the layer covers
the underlying image (Default
method).
To change a layer’s composite
method:
1 Select a layer.
2 On the Layers palette, choose a
composite method from the
Composite Method pop-up menu.
Other Layer Options
The Layer Attributes dialog box
contains options for setting different
layer attributes. You can change a
layer’s name, adjust its position,
specify image map information, and
record notes.
“Naming Layers” on page234 gives
instructions for how to change a
layer’s name.
“Moving Layers” on page 244 gives
instructions for moving a layer to a
specific location.
An image map is a Web feature that
lets you assign a URL to a layer. When
the file is saved to JPEG or GIF
format, the user can link to the URL
by clicking the image-mapped region
of the file.
For more information about creating
image maps, refer to “Client-Side
Image Mapping” on page 406.

erence layers, double-click the
item on the Layers palette, or
select an item and press Return
