Selecting and removing tiles

You can select and deselect tiles so you can add or modify them. You can also remove individual tiles, a selection of tiles, or remove all tiles from the document at once. If you remove all tiles from the document, Corel Painter clears the canvas, leaving only the grout color.

Similar to working with real ceramic tiles, you cannot merge or overlap Corel Painter mosaic tiles. You can place them close to each other, but you can’t make them occupy the same space. Corel Painter adjusts the shape of the tiles to fit them close to one another while maintaining the grout line spacing. So, when you want to re-lay the tiles in an area, you must remove the existing tiles.

Select tiles	In the Make Mosaic dialog box, click the Select Tiles button . Drag across the tiles you want to select. Red borders appear on selected tiles.
