Creating and Opening Templates

If you regularly work with documents that contain similar dimensions, formatting, and resolution, you can create document templates so that you don’t have to start each document from scratch. When creating a template, you can add content to the canvas and save it as part of the template.

To save a document as a template Back to Top
1
 
Create a file with the sizing, formatting, and resolution attributes you want.
2
 
Choose File Save As.
3
 
In the Save (Mac OS) or Save Image As (Windows) dialog box, save the file to one of the following folders in your user folder:
(Mac OS) Corel Painter 12\Support Files\Templates
(Windows 7) AppData\Roaming\Corel\Painter 12\Default\Templates
If you want the template to display under File Open Template, you need to close and then reopen Corel Painter.
In a multiuser environment, only users with Administrator status can add files to the Templates folder.
In Windows, you need to ensure that all hidden files are displayed in order to access the AppData folder.
To open a document template Back to Top
 
Choose File Open Template.
You can also open a template by choosing Help Welcome, and then choosing a template from the Open a Template list box.
