| • | To save a shape outline as a selection |
You can save the outline of a shape as a selection. Corel Painter doesn’t have a shapes library. However, because of the close relationship between shape outlines and selection paths, you can save shape outlines as selections in the Selection Portfolio. Then, you can easily convert the saved selection to a shape. For more information, see Working with the Selection Portfolio. For information about converting selections to shapes, see To convert a selection to a shape.
