Modifying a Library
You can modify a library by renaming
items, deleting items, and deleting
entire libraries.
Renaming Items
You can rename items in libraries to
suit your preference.
To change the name of an item:
1 Open the Mover for the item you
want to modify.
2 Do one of the following:
• Double-click the icon of the
item.
• Choose the item and click
Change Name.
3 In the Change Name dialog box,
type the new name in the Change
To box.
Deleting Items from Libraries
If you want to delete a resource from a
library, you can—but be careful. Once
you remove one of the default brushes
(even if it’s by mistake), the only way
to retrieve it is to reinstall Corel
Painter. If you must reinstall Corel
Painter, you’ll lose any of the custom
resources you’ve created and saved
into the default libraries.
To delete an item from a library:
1 Open the Mover for the item you
want to delete.
2 Choose the item you want delete.
3 Click the Delete button in the
Mover dialog box.
To avoid deleting items from
libraries when reinstalling:
• Move saved items to a location
other than the default libraries.
Deleting a Library
To delete an entire library, delete the
file from the Corel Painter directory.
Be careful not to delete the Corel
Painter default libraries. Corel Painter
needs them to start properly.
To delete a library on the Mac OS:
1 Use the Finder™ to open the
folder.
2 Drag the library file to the Trash.
To delete a library on Windows:
1 Use the Windows Explorer to open
the folder.
2 Select the file.
3 Press Delete, or drag the file to the
Recycle Bin.
Using Brush Libraries
In Corel Painter, users work with
brush libraries in the Brushes folder.
The Painter Brushes folder is the
default library that loads when you
open Corel Painter.
Each folder within the Painter
Brushes default library folder is a
brush category. In each category
folder, there is a JPEG graphic, which
is the icon seen on the Brush selector
bar.
In each category folder are XML files,
which are the brush variants available
for that brush category.
