Enhanced! Customizing brushes: 

Corel Painter 12 makes it easier than ever 

to create and save your own brush variants and categories. You can use the 

many brush control panels to adjust numerous aspects of any brush variant. 

When you find settings that you want to keep, you can easily save a custom 

brush variant by clicking 

Brushes

 menu 

`

 

Save Variant

. 

You can also save the variant as a look. When you save a look, variant settings, 

paper texture, pattern, gradient, and nozzle data are included. In addition, you 

can create a brush category to store your custom variants. This is especially 

useful if you want to organize variants to reflect a specific workflow or project.

Enhanced! New Image dialog box: 

You can now create custom presets, 

such as canvases, colors, and paper textures, for your artwork. The New Image 

dialog box lets you title your image and choose canvas dimensions, resolution, 

color, and paper texture before you start painting or drawing. When you find a 

group of canvas settings that you like, just click the Add button to create your 

own custom preset.

New! High Quality Display: 

The Grabber, Magnifier, and Rotate Page tools 

now share a common property bar, which includes a new High Quality Display 

option. When you are zoomed in on an image area at more than 100%, the 

High Quality Display option smoothes the edges of your image so you can view 

it as it will print.

New! Computed Circular brush controls: 

With the new Computed 

Circular brush control panel, you can specify the tip profile of certain brushes. 

This lets you customize dab opacity and hardness, which controls the color 

density at the outer edge of the dab.

Enhanced! Dynamic brush adjustments: 

While you’ve always been able to 

adjust brush size and opacity dynamically, Corel Painter 12 now lets you change 

brush angle and squeeze within the context of your image. This takes the 

guesswork out of brush sizing by letting you make adjustments without leaving 

the document window.
