Canvas Presets and Templates - Caroline's Painter Insights. Sunday, June 26, 2011 11:19 PM DanielJ Let’s say you’re always working on similar canvases, it’s probably worth looking in to leveraging some of the customization options in Painter. Here are two options I’d like to point out: Tip #1: Create your own Canvas Preset Painter will remember your most recently used settings automatically. But, if you’re frequently switching between different image sizes, you should save custom presets for your most commonly used choices. Here’s how: From the File menu, select New...Enter your preferred values for Width, Height, Resolution, Color and Paper texture.Click on the (+) button next to the Canvas Preset: dropdown.Enter a name for your preset. From now on, your preset will show up in the Canvas Preset dropdown.
Tip #2: Create your own Template Presets are great, but I’m a bigger fan of using Templates. Here’s how you can create your own template: I’ve attached a couple of templates to this post for you to try out. Attachments: Templates.zip. Brush Libraries and Brush Installation | Skip Allen Paints. I have received a number of requests from different places to help folks with brush installation in Painter 12. I have a video for the subject in my class Painter 12, a New Beginning. I have decided to post that here to help folks with brush installation. REVISED INFORMATION: Dated 2/28/2012 Painter 12.1 has changed the way brush management works significantly. This video recommends installing brushes in what I refer to as the Applications Area, which we had to do for Painter 12 and Painter 12 with SP-1. Now, I would recommend installing in the User Area. I have a new page, Brush Management for Painter 12.1 that is specific to the changes in 12.1. Back to the original material: You will also learn about brush libraries and why you need them.

Corel Painter 12.1 Brush Management, A Primer | Skip Allen Paints. Hey Friends, I worked on this post for a while. The topic is brush management. I hope this post and its companion page explains the file structure for Painter brushes in a way that is understandable. I truly believe that problems with brush installation are going to disappear as soon as we get started using the new Brush installation system that made its début with Painter 12.1. I have a video that gives information about the new system, but I also have a rather long written document that explains the “behind the scenes” file structure.
Before I forget it, I want to say that all this information is my understanding of how it works. Here is the video that explains how we load and share brushes going forward in Painter 12.1.

Painter X3 is a wonderful application in allowing a great deal of flexibility in user customisation of the interface. However, we are all individuals, with unique tastes and requirements and as the saying goes…you can only please some of the people, some of the time. The development of the contextual Advanced Brush Controls (ABC) panel was a definite step in the right direction, by dynamically presenting the artist with only the most relevant brush control panels and media applicable to the currently selected variant. From the outset however, some Painter users also wanted to include the Brush Controls> General panel, which was (rightly in my opinion) considered an unnecessary inclusion in the ABC panel, designed to facilitate the most relevant ‘on the fly’ brush adjustments.
So you may ask, what’s all the fuss? The ABCgen panel is used both for reference to some of the current variant settings and augments the ABC panel for on-the-fly changes and adjustments.
