Question:
Is there a way to open a new gradient Canvas instead of a single
color Canvas?
Response:
I don't think there's a way to open a new Canvas with the Canvas a
gradient instead of a solid color.
You might try this, though:
1.
Open a new Canvas using the dimensions and Resolution (PPI, or pixels
per inch) you want.
2. Choose
the Main Color and Additional Color.
3.
Choose the Two-Point Gradient.
4.
Fill the Canvas with the Two-Point Gradient.
5.
Save the image as a RIFF
file template (using an appropriately descriptive file name) in the
following Corel Painter X application/program folder:
Corel Painter X > Support Files > Templates
6.
Close the file.
7. Use
one of the following methods to open your gradient filled Canvas
template:
- Use File >
New and navigate to the Templates folder, highlight the gradient filled
Canvas template file, then click the Open button.
- If you normally
open Painter X with the Welcome Screen displayed, on the first tab,
right side, below "Open a template....", choose the name of your saved
gradient image from the drop down list.
