Using the documentation

The server-based Help gives you access to a full range of up-to-date topics in a searchable format. You need to have an active internet connection to access the server-based help. However, if you are working offline, you can access the local help file that is installed with Corel Painter.

The Corel Painter 2018 User Guide provides all Help topics in a print-friendly PDF file, which can be accessed online. The User Guide is also published as an eBook. For more information, see Corel Painter 2018 User Guide eBook.

The Introduction to Corel Painter 2018 Guide provides an overview of the most common product features and workflows, helping you get started quickly with the application. This guide also includes information about new features to introduce upgrading users to Corel Painter 2018.
