• | Path-based selections are defined by a closed path, for example a circle or a square. You can make path-based selections by using the Rectangular Selection, Oval Selection, Lasso tool, or by converting a shape. Path-based selections support many transformations that pixel-based selections do not. In addition, it’s the only type of selection that you can store in the Selection Portfolio. |
• | Pixel-based selections are defined at the pixel level. You can create a pixel-based selection by using the Magic Wand tool. Corel Painter also includes options for auto-generating selections based on various image or clone characteristics. |
You can covert a pixel-based selection to a path-based selection. For more information, see To convert a pixel-based selection to a path-based selection.
