Getting Started with
Mosaics
The Mosaic feature differs from the
other Natural-Media tools in Corel
Painter. When you’re working with
the mosaics medium, you’re actually
working in a different mode. This
means that you must have the Make
Mosaic dialog box open and you can’t
access any other tools or features—
except for the Colors palette.
To create a mosaic:
1 Open a new document or clone an
existing document.
2 Choose Canvas menu > Make
Mosaic.
The Make Mosaic dialog box
provides all the controls for
working in this medium. When
painting with mosaic tiles, you’ll
work with one of four tools: Apply
Tiles, Remove Tiles, Change Tile
Color, or Select Tiles.
Use the Make Mosaic dialog box to change
your artwork into tiles.
Saving to a RIFF File
If you save a mosaic in the RIFF
format, you can open the file later,
choose the Make Mosaic command,
and continue working.
RIFF is the only file format that will
save the resolution-independent
mosaic tile objects. Saving in any
other format prohibits you from
resuming the mosaic process. All file
formats will save the rendered image
of the mosaic tiles on the canvas.
