Corel Painter Help | Switching document views

Switching document views

You can switch between document views and viewing modes to suit your needs. The default setting Single Document View displays only the active document, hiding the other open documents. The Multi-document View displays all open documents. Both views display all standard tools in the workspace. For example, the menu bar, property bar, Brush selector bar, toolbox, and a few additional panels are readily accessible.

You can enable Presentation Mode, which hides your computer’s desktop and taskbar and centers the document window over a solid background. All Corel Painter features work when you use Presentation Mode. On macOS, Presentation Mode lets you display only one document at a time (Single Document View). On Windows, Presentation Mode lets you display one document or multiple documents (Multi-document View).

You can switch document views and viewing modes by using the Window menu, the toolbox, and keyboard shortcuts.
