Corel Painter Help | Acquiring brushes

Acquiring brushes

You can expand your collection of brushes by purchasing creative brush packs from within Corel Painter.

New brush packs appear in the Brush Selector. Choose from a selection of creative brush packs for enhancing photos, designs, and paintings to enrich your projects.

The selection is updated with new offerings as they become available. After you purchase a brush pack, it is installed and appears as the active brush in the Brush Selector. For more information about the Brush Selector, see Displaying and customizing the Brush Selector.

If you reinstall Corel Painter or install it on another computer, you can restore your purchases. This will help you download the items that you have already purchased and reinstall them.

If you want to import brushes that you have used in another version of Corel Painter, see Importing and exporting brush libraries, categories, and variants.
