Corel Painter includes various tools that let you mark off areas of the canvas for special treatment. Marking off these areas is referred to as “making selections.” A selection either designates an area that you want to change or protects an area that you don’t want to change.
If you save selections as alpha channels, you can store the selections and later use brushes and image effects to edit them. For more information, see Alpha Channels.
You can use one selection but have multiple channels. This method of working is both convenient and a powerful time-saving strategy. It’s easy to save selections and then reactivate them later. You can also create a selection by adding, subtracting, or intersecting multiple channels.
You can also transform selections by moving, rotating, scaling, skewing, and distorting them.
