Performance preferences

You can set various performance preferences to optimize Corel Painter. For example, you can change memory options such as the amount of memory (RAM) used by the application, choose processor (CPU) or graphics processor (GPU) settings, or specify the volume name (macOS) or drive (Windows) that you want to assign as a scratch disk.

In addition, you can optimize performance by disabling or hiding certain features that you don’t need. For more information, see What settings do I use to ensure the optimal performance of Corel Painter?.

You can also run the Brush Accelerator utility to evaluate your system’s GPU, CPU, and memory. The test results indicate whether your system’s GPU, CPU, and memory meet, exceed or are below the recommended specifications.

The performance preferences are described in the following table.

 

The number of Undo levels applies across all open documents. For example, if you set 5 undo levels and have two open documents, undoing three operations on the first document leaves you with only two undo operations on the second document.
