Filtering brushes
Brush filters let you show only the brushes you need for the creative task at hand. For example, you can apply the Thick Paint Compatible filter to show only Thick Paint and Thick Paint compatible brushes and hide all other brushes from the Brush Selector.
Corel Painter provides several brush filters: My Favorites, Painter Masters, Stamps, Watercolor Compatible, Thick Paint Compatible, and Cloners. To fine-tune your selection of brushes, you can apply two or more filters at the same time. For example, you can show only your favorite Watercolor Compatible brushes.
Apply one or more brush filters to hide the brush categories and brushes that you don’t need.
You can clear one or more filters to expand your brush selection, and you can clear all brush filters to display all brushes in the active brush library.
