Creating and importing textures

You can use the preset textures provided with Corel Painter. In addition, you can import or create custom textures.

You create a texture by capturing the canvas or a layer. You can also create a texture from a selected area in an image. Textures are saved in the Corel Painter texture library format. All preset and custom textures are stored in libraries. For more information, see Working with Texture libraries.

You can also import multiple textures.

Transparency is supported only for PNG images.

The size of the texture depends on the original size of the image that you import. If you prefer not to resize the texture in Corel Painter, make sure you import it at the size you need it. For best results, use high-resolution images.

The texture that you import should not exceed the maximum size of 16 382 x 16 382 pixels.
