Creating and opening templates

If you regularly work with documents that contain similar dimensions, formatting, and resolution, you can create document templates so that you don’t have to start each document from scratch. When creating a template, you can add content to the canvas and save it as part of the template.

To save a document as a template

1

Create a file with the sizing, formatting, and resolution attributes you want.

2

Choose File

Save As.

3

In the Save (Mac OS) or Save Image As (Windows) dialog box, save the file to one of the following folders in your user folder:

•

(Mac OS) Corel Painter 2017\Support Files\Templates

•

(Windows) AppData\Roaming\Corel\Painter 2017\Default\Templates

If you want the template to display under File

Open Template, you need to close and then reopen Corel Painter.

In a multiuser environment, only users with Administrator status can add files to the Templates folder.

In Windows, you need to ensure that all hidden files are displayed in order to access the AppData folder.

To open a document template

•

Choose File

Open Template

{template name}.

You can also open a template by choosing Help Welcome, and then choosing a template from the Open an Image Template list box.
