Choosing Paper Textures
The Papers palette is where all paper
textures are stored. In addition to
using it to select papers, you can use
this palette to invert, resize, or
randomize paper grain; control
brightness and contrast; or to open
other paper libraries. For more
information on working with libraries,
refer to “Loading Alternate Libraries”
on page 24.
The Paper selector on the Papers palette.
To choose a paper texture:
1 Choose Window menu > Show
Papers to display the Papers
palette.
If the Papers palette is not
expanded, click the palette arrow.
2 Click the Paper selector arrow to
display the available paper
textures.
3 Choose a paper texture from the
Paper selector.
The Papers palette shows the
dimensions of the selected paper
(in pixels). Corel Painter tiles the
paper to cover as much canvas as
needed.
Tips
•
You can also choose a paper texture
from the Paper selector in the toolbox.
•
Corel Painter uses the currently
selected texture, so you can make a few
strokes, then change the paper and make a
few more strokes with different results.
Inverting and Scaling Paper
Textures
You can think of paper texture as a
three-dimensional landscape. Usually,
brushes react to paper texture by
coloring peaks and ignoring valleys.
Enabling the Invert Paper option
makes color fill the valleys, instead of
the peaks.
You can adjust the paper texture scale
to resize the paper texture. Scaling
paper grain affects how the grain
appears in brush strokes and images.
To invert paper grain:
1 Choose Window menu > Show
Papers.
2 On the Papers palette, do one of
the following:
• Click the palette menu arrow,
and choose Invert Paper.
• Click the Invert Paper button
