• To view the image as it appears on your canvas with no relation to the printing
paper, choose Canvas Preview.
• To view the image as it will appear on the currently selected printing paper,
choose Page Layout Preview.
Sizing an Image
If you want to print an image that is larger than a selected page size, you can size the
image to fit the page. For example, when this option is enabled, a 12-by-12-inch
image would be resized to fit on an 8.5-by-11-inch page.
To size an image to fit your page
1 Do one of the following:
• (Mac OS) From the menu bar, choose File menu > Page Setup, and choose
Corel Painter IX from the Settings pop-up menu.
• (Windows) Choose File menu > Print.
2 Enable the Size to Fit Page check box.
If an image is larger than the page size and you haven’t enabled the check box
Size to Fit Page, your image will not print.
Printing an Image
Once you have chosen options in the Print Setup dialog box (Mac OS) or Page Setup
dialog box (Windows), you are ready to print.
To print an image
1 Choose File menu > Print to open the Print dialog box.
2 (Mac OS) From the pop-up menu below the Presets pop-up menu, choose
Corel Painter IX.
3 In the Print Type area, select one of the four print types that Corel Painter
supports.
