Creating and Importing Brush
Libraries
You may want to create a library of
your favorite brush variants to have
them all in one category. You can also
import brush libraries and access
them through the Brush selector bar.
To create a brush library
1 In the Brushes folder, create and
name a new folder for your library.
2 In the new folder you just created,
create and name a new folder for
your brush category.
3 In the brush category folder you
created in step 2, copy XML files
from other existing folders.
4 In Corel Painter, click the selector
menu arrow on the Brush selector
bar, and choose Load Library.
5 In the Brush Libraries dialog box,
choose the brush category folder
you created in step 2, and click
Import.
Notes:
•
This procedure works only for brushes
created in version 7 and later of Corel
Painter. To use brushes created in version
6 or earlier of Corel Painter, you must
first import them, and then load them.
For information about importing brushes,
see “To import a brush library” on
page 27.
•
If you want an icon to appear on the
Brush selector bar, you must create a
JPEG and save it with the same name as
the library. Save it at the same level as the
brush category folder.
To import a brush library
1 On the Brush selector bar, click the
selector menu arrow, and choose
Import Brush Library.
2 In the Select Brush Library dialog
box, choose a library, and click
Open.
The brush library is imported into
Corel Painter and can be accessed
through the Brush selector bar.
Note
•
Brushes libraries created in version 6
or earlier of Corel Painter are imported as
.BRS files.
Deleting a Brush Library
To delete a brush library, delete the
folder from the Brushes folder.
Be careful not to delete the Corel
Painter default libraries, which are
stored in the Painter Brushes folder.
