Restoring the default Corel Painter settings

You can restore the Corel Painter workspace to its default factory settings. The restoring process removes all modifications and customizations that you made to the application — including the following:

•

All libraries (Brushes, Papers, Scripts, Nozzles, etc)

•

Custom palettes

•

Palette Layout(s)

•

•

All preferences (Preferences dialog box)

•

Customized keyboard shortcuts

•

Brush tracking and calibration settings

•

•

Color Management presets

•

Perspective Guides, Layout, and Divine Proportion presets

Before restoring the Corel Painter default workspace, we recommend that you export any libraries that you want to preserve. For example, if you created custom brushes, you can export the brush library. For more information, see Importing and exporting libraries.

To restore Corel Painter to its default factory settings

1

Hold down Shift and start Corel Painter.

A warning appears, asking you to confirm that you want to erase all of the modifications that you have made to Corel Painter. Restoring the default factory settings copies the original workspace settings from the installation to the user folder.

2

Choose whether you want to restore the current workspace or all workspaces.

When you choose to restore all workspaces, all custom workspaces are deleted. Only the default workspace is preserved and restored to the factory settings.
