Restoring the Default Corel Painter Settings

All user settings are saved to a local user folder; when Corel Painter starts, it recalls these user settings rather than the application settings. However, you can restore the Corel Painter workspace to its default factory settings. The restoring process replaces the settings in the user folder with copies of the settings from the original installation.

Restoring the Corel Painter workspace to its default factory settings also removes all modifications you have made to the application — including the brushes, papers, textures, and similar customizations. The locations of the user folders are as follows:

 
Mac OS/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Corel Painter 12/
 
Windows\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Corel Painter 12

Restoring Corel Painter to its default factory settings is particularly useful in a multiuser environment, where many users are working from the same installation.

Corel Painter references the location of the loaded libraries for Papers and Color Sets. If Corel Painter cannot locate a loaded library, it reverts to the default library. When a new library is loaded, the user is prompted to decide whether to append to or overwrite the current library.

A warning appears, asking you to verify 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.
