Internet Preferences
Corel Painter works closely with your
Internet browser to help you take
advantage of resources on the
Internet. Whether you use Netscape
Navigator, Microsoft® Internet
Explorer, or another browser, you can
launch your browser from within
Corel Painter.
The browser will take you directly to
the URL specified in the Internet
Preferences dialog box. This
streamlines your access to program
help, technical support, additional art
materials, and libraries.
The level of memory in your system
can limit your ability to run Corel
Painter and your browser application
at the same time. For more
information, refer to “Physical
Memory Usage” on page 56.
The Corel Painter installer should be
able to locate and link to your browser
automatically. In some cases, though,
you will need to manually select the
browser. For example, you’d need to
do this if you have more than one
browser.
To change the default URL:
1 Do one of the following:
• (Mac OS) Choose Corel
Painter 8 menu > Preferences
> Internet.
• (Windows) Choose Edit menu
> Preferences > Internet.
2 Type a new URL in the Default
Library Browsing URL field.
Save Preferences
You can set color space prompt
preferences automatically when
saving files, so that you do not need to
choose a color space every time you
save.
For Mac OS only, Corel Painter allows
you to select file extension preferences.
To set color space prompt
preferences
1 Do one of the following:
• (Mac OS) Choose Corel
Painter 8 menu > Preferences
