Saved Looks appear in the Look Selector in the toolbox.

attached. For more information about working with the Image Hose and Nozzle files,
refer to “Getting Started with the Image Hose” on page 193.

Using Brush and Look Libraries
Corel Painter comes with several brush libraries. You can also create new libraries for
brushes and Looks and add your custom brushes to them. You can create as many
brush libraries as you need.
Library features are identical for all resource types (Papers, Brushes, Looks, Patterns,
Gradients, Weaves, Scripts, Layers, and Selections). For more information on Library
features, refer to “Libraries and Movers” in the Help.
It’s a good idea to limit the number of tools in a library. This makes it easier to find a
particular tool and helps Corel Painter manage memory.
Corel Painter loads brushes into memory when you launch it, so adding variants to the
default brush library increases the program’s need for RAM. To improve efficiency, you
can organize new brushes into secondary libraries. When you want a different brush
set, you can just switch libraries.
