Corel Painter 419
To play back at a different
resolution:
1 Create a new document with the
resolution at which you want to
play the script.
If you want the resulting image to
be a higher resolution than the
original, create a document with
proportionally larger dimensions.
For example, if the original
document is 500 X 500 pixels,
make the new document 1000 X
1000 pixels to double the size.
If the destination document has a
different aspect ratio from the
original, the image created by the
script will be proportionally
distorted.
2 On the Scripts palette, click the
Script selector arrow and choose
the resolution-independent script
you recorded.
3 Before playing back the script,
choose Select menu > All, or press
Command+A (Mac OS) or
Ctrl+A (Windows) in the new
document. The rectangle recorded
at the outset of the original script is
referenced to the selected rectangle
in this document.
4 Click Play.
The original script replays into the
new document. All brushes, paper
textures, and related functions are
appropriately scaled for the new
resolution.
Editing Scripts
Corel Painter lets you edit your scripts.
You can cut, copy, and paste steps to
change script behavior. You must first
open the script before you can edit.
Opening a Script
To open a script for editing:
1 On the Scripts palette, click the
palette menu arrow and choose
Open Script.
2 In the dialog box, choose a script
and click Open.
Corel Painter displays the script’s
instructions in the Script list.
If the script you want is in a
different library, click Open
Library.
Note
•
The open script becomes the current
script and is displayed in the Script
selector. If you choose another script from
the Script selector, the open script does not
change.
To close an open script:
• On the Scripts palette, click the
palette menu arrow and choose
Close Script.
Working with Script
Instructions
You can edit a script to change the
order of instructions, remove an
instruction, or add a segment from a
different script.
An open script displays in the Script
list as a series of instructions, each
with a triangle at its left. You can click
the triangle to open the instruction
and see the steps or parameters it uses.
Most of these parameters can be edited
by double-clicking them.
Corel Painter always records every
action you take in the “always script.”
