• Use the scrollbar on the right
side of the palette to scroll
through the palette.
• Press Option + click (Mac OS)
or Alt + click (Windows), and
drag vertically inside the
palette. The cursor changes to a
hand and the palette scrolls as
you drag.
Using Palette Menus
Most palettes in Corel Painter contain
menus from which you can access a
series of palette-specific commands.
For example, you can use the palette
menu on the Papers palette to capture,
make, and invert paper textures, and
to open the Paper Mover and library.
To access the commands on a
palette menu:
• Click the palette menu arrow.
Setting Palette Layout
You can set up the palette layout in
Corel Painter to best suit your
working style. Palettes can be
arranged in the document window to
give you easy access to the tools and
controls you use most often, and to
maximize screen real estate.
You can also group and reposition
palettes according to your preferences,
and you can dock them to the edges of
the document window or other
palettes.
Arranging Palettes
You can drag a palette to any location
that’s convenient for your work. Corel
Painter saves palette arrangements so
that the next time you start the
program, the workspace appears as
you left it.
You can save several different palette
layouts for future use, and you can
later delete layouts. You can also
return the palette layout to the Corel
Painter default.
Arrange palettes to create a layout that is
convenient for you.

Layout box.
