Reviewer’s Guide [ 9 ]

The Brush Library is accessible from the Brush Selector bar and lets you access 

additional brush libraries, copy and save brush variants, as well as adjust the way 

that brush categories and variants are displayed. To import additional brush 

libraries, you simply drag a BRS file to the Brushes folder in the Painter12 

application folder. 

The Paper selector remains in the toolbox and gives you quick access to the 

Paper Textures panel. The selectors for Patterns, Gradients, Nozzles, Weaves, and 

Looks have been grouped into their own Media Selector bar, which you can turn 

on or off.

The Media Library panels are also grouped onto a single palette, providing quick 

access to the full content libraries for Patterns, Gradients, Nozzles, Weaves, and 

Looks. The Media Library panels also let you import and export libraries. For 

example, you may want to import a library from a previous version of Painter. In 

addition, the Gradient, Weaves, and Patterns Library panels are associated with 

Library Control panels that let you fine tune individual characteristics of that 

content.

New! Temporal Colors palette: 

This new lightweight colors palette is ideal 

for making quick color changes on the fly. A simple keyboard shortcut activates 

the Temporal Colors palette, which floats in the document window to let you 

choose colors within the context of your artwork. Similar in appearance to the 

Color panel, the Temporal Colors palette presents a Hue Ring and Saturation/

Value Triangle that make it easy to find the color in your mind’s eye.

Custom palettes: 

You can easily create custom palettes, which give you the 

freedom to work in your own style. You can drag items onto a custom palette 

from the Brush Selector bar, the Paper selector, any of the five Media selectors 

(patterns, looks, weaves, nozzles, or gradients) or Media Library panels, and the 

Scripts palette. In addition, you can add any menu command to a custom 

palette, such as 

File

 menu 

`

 

New

.

The ability to create an unlimited number of custom palettes lets you tailor the 

Corel Painter workspace to your preference. For example, you may want to 

create special palettes for particular projects or workflows that you use 

frequently. Once you create a custom palette, it is saved from session to session 

for convenient and immediate access.
