Using the Perspective Grid
Corel Painter provides perspective
grids as a guide to help you create
three-dimensional images. Perspective
grids are a non-printing array of lines
that converge at a single vanishing
point. In Corel Painter you can set the
type, line color, and spacing of the
perspective grid. You can modify the
location of the vertical plane and
horizon line by using the Perspective
Grid Adjuster tool. Any perspective
grid options that you create or modify
can also be opened for use in another
drawing.
Use perspective grid lines to help you create 3-
D images.
To activate or hide the default
perspective grid:
• With an image open, choose
Canvas menu > Perspective Grids
> Show Grid or Hide Grid.
To create a new perspective grid:
1 In the toolbox, click the
Perspective Grid Adjuster tool .
2 On the property bar, click the Add
Preset button beside the Presets
pop-up menu.
3 In the Save Preset dialog box, enter
a name in the Save As box.

want to see.

and vertical grid lines in the Color
