Cloning and Tracing 277
To resume tracing
• To resume tracing, turn Tracing Paper back on.
The faint source image returns, and you can continue tracing.
Changing Clone Source
For more flexibility in setting up cloning relationships, Corel Painter lets you set any
open document as a clone source. You can do this to reestablish a source–destination
relationship between two files. You might also do this to choose a special source image
for controlling an image effect.
To set an open document as the clone source
• Choose File menu > Clone Source, and select which of the open documents is the
clone source.
If you forget which document is the clone source, choose File menu > Clone
Source. The filename with a check beside it is the clone source.
To make an open file the clone source for the next file you open
1 Hold down Option (Mac OS) or Ctrl (Windows).
2 Choose File menu > Clone.
3 In the Open dialog box (Mac OS) or Select Image dialog box (Windows), choose a
file to use as the clone destination.
Using Quick Clone
The Quick Clone effect automatically sets up everything you need to clone an image.
Quick Clone can create the clone image, delete its contents, turn on Tracing Paper, and
select the last Cloner brush you used.
To clone using Quick Clone
1 Choose File menu > Quick Clone.
2 Trace over the image using any Corel Painter brush variant.
