Auto-Save Scripts
When you create an image, Corel
Painter records all the operations you
perform. This recording is known as a
background script and is saved on the
Scripts palette.
The Auto-Save Scripts preference
governs how long Corel Painter saves
background scripts before deleting
them. In the text field, enter the
number of days for which you want
Corel Painter to save background
scripts.
For more information about creating
and using scripts, refer to “Scripting”
on page 415.
Brush Size Increment
The Brush Size Increment preference
lets you set the increment value in
pixels.
Magnifier Increment
The Magnifier Increment preference
lets you set the percentage of
magnification the magnifier will
increment by.
Temp File Volume
Choosing the temp file volume selects
the disk volume that Corel Painter
will put its temporary file on and use
to access virtual memory. Choose the
volume name (Mac OS) or letter
(Windows) from the Temp File
Volume pop-up menu.
Units
The Units preference lets you choose
units of measurement used by the
application’s various sliders and other
measurement options.
Cloning Preference
When you clone an image, Corel
Painter uses the color information
from the original as you fill in your
clone. If you would like Corel Painter
to display what part of the original
you’re cloning, check the box next to
Indicate Clone Source With
Crosshairs While Cloning.
Draw Zoomed-out Views Using
Area-Averaging
When looking at an image at under
100% magnification, screen draw is
faster if you leave this option
unchecked, and slower but more
accurate if checked.
Display Warning When Drawing
Outside Selection
Checking this box enables the
warning that appears when you draw
outside a selection.
Show Commit Dialog When
Converting to a Layer
Enable this checkbox if you want to
reinstate the Commit dialog after you
have selected the Don’t Ask Again
button in the Commit dialog.
