Exploring Panels and Palettes

The interactive panels in Corel Painter are single tabbed containers that let you access content libraries, commands, controls, and settings. Panels are stored in palettes. You can store one or multiple panels in a palette. For example, you can reconfigure the panels that you most often use in one palette. You can also arrange panels and palettes in the application window to quickly access the tools and controls that you use most often or to maximize screen space. For example, you can display all color-specific panels in one color palette, or display panels individually.

This palette includes three color-related panels: Color, Mixer, and Color Set Libraries. You can access a panel’s content by clicking its tabs.
