Drag-and-Drop Features
Dragging Between Documents
You can copy selections and layers
between Corel Painter documents by
dragging from one window to the
other. When you drag a selection to a
new document window, Corel Painter
automatically turns the selection into
a layer. When you drag a layer to a
new document, the layer keeps its
original properties.
Dragging Between Programs
(Mac OS)
Corel Painter supports drag-and-drop
functionality between applications on
Mac OS. This can be a quick,
convenient way to acquire or export
imagery.
On the Mac OS, you can drag files
from Photoshop directly into Corel
Painter.
Raster imagery that you drag into a
Corel Painter document window
becomes a layer. You can drag a PICT
file from the Finder to a Corel Painter
document. The PICT image becomes
a layer.
You can also drag layers out of Corel
Painter to another application or to
the Finder; the exported imagery is in
PICT format, supported by most
applications. When you drag out one
of these objects, it will automatically
rasterize a shape or dynamic layer (at
its current settings) to become a PICT.
Note
•
Though dragging and dropping
between programs is not supported on the
Windows platform, computers running on
either Mac OS or Windows platforms
support copying and pasting between
Corel Painter and other programs.
Saving Files
Corel Painter provides several options
for saving files.
To save a file in its current format:
• Choose File menu > Save.
