Editing Shapes
Corel Painter provides five tools for editing shapes. As you work, you’ll switch tools
based on the type of changes you’re going to make. From any other editing tool, you
can toggle to the Shape Selection tool by pressing Command (Mac OS) or Ctrl
(Windows).
Shape Selection drags anchor points and control handles.
Scissors cuts the segment at the point you click.
Add Point adds an anchor point where you click on the curve.
Remove Point deletes the anchor point you click.
Convert Point changes anchor points from corner points into smooth points and
vice versa.
Selecting a Shape
If you don’t see the shape’s outline path, you’ll want to select the shape — to display
the path and anchor points — before proceeding. It is easier to work when you can see
the path and points. For information about selecting shapes as layers, refer to
“Selecting Layers” on page 52.
To select shapes
If you are using the Layer Adjuster tool, you can double-click a shape to
switch to the Shape Selection tool and select the shape.
To Do the following
Select a shape With the Shape Selection tool , click a
shape.
